300 deadtime

. no one knew . or at least no one was saying .
"when was tthe call or text to kanyn ? what time ?" i asked .
mel looked at her wrist , seemed surprised to disscover that she wasn't wearing a watch ." last night , two night ago ." she shook her head ." day before yesterday . god . i need some sleep ."
i understand completely , i said , " so....;. about thirty six hours ago ?"
"less ," mel said .
"that 's not much time to be4 out of touch ," i said . i'd had a version of this conversation with merideth about lisa's disappearance .i reminded myself how wrong i'd turned out to be that ." jack could still be with lisa , right ?"
mel wasn't buying it ." that's not like him . he would have been in touch ."
jules said ," you don't know that . she may have tyold him not call anyone . she can be pretty ...controlling ."
eric's said ." you should know about that , jules ."
she fluttered her eyes at him like an ingenue .
there was a little murder in the air , after all .
"i haven't seen  this clip you're all talking about ," eric said " what 's so special ?"
if eric was bluffing about the video -eithert lying about not having seen it or pretending there couldn't possibly be anything damning involving him in it - i didn't want to play poker with him . the man could act .
in a hell-i'll call your bluffr tone . mel said ," jules ? you have your computer ? is  there a network here ?"
jules sighed . she said ," it's in my bag . the neighbor kid's network isn't secure . you can log onto it ."
mel looked at eric ."i'll show you what jack took ." she retrieved jules 's laptop , booted it up . in a couple of minutes we were staring at youtube .
mel searched for "grand canyon floor " and selected the"head and shoulders" clip from the choice that popped up .
