Come and Find Me Page #2

---

I don't understand.

Yeah, Boulder really wasn't for me.

Kind of ski bum, beer pong situation.

I didn't make a ton of friends.

Mmm, my God, this is so good.

So, where did you grow up?

Salt Lake City. Pretty happening spot.

Yeah. Birthplace of jazz.

Hmm?

Nothing. Never mind.

Your family still there?

Family's not really part of the picture.

Where are you from?

San Jose, California.

And your parents, they still live there?

My, uh, my mom does, but my dad,

he actually died when I was a kid.

Which is a hilarious thing

to talk about.

But long story short, my mom,

after he died, she, uh,

she found, Jesus.

Mmm.

I'm... I'm aware of him.

Yeah, well, apparently,

he was in San Jose,

of all places, and now, you know,

she... she collects these

little baby figurines.

Yeah, like...

Like, you know, anything baby,

like little baby sculptures.

Anyways, now the house is filled

with millions

of little babies everywhere.

Like, little angel babies.

Yeah, it's, uh, it's a little...

it's a little creepy.

Also the whole place is kind of, um,

kind of depressing, not just my...

not just my house,

but San Jose in general.

I don't...

it's a boring place.

I don't really like it there.

You know, it's, uh...

I go there sometimes, you know.

Not as often as I should.

But, yeah.

I wanted to do that.

That's, uh, that's okay.

Oh, jeez.

I'm still chewing my food.

That's... no, wait, that's disgusting.

His name is Buck Cameron.

So, he's a friend?

A friend of my girlfriend's

from college.

Is your girlfriend here?

Can I speak with her?

No, she's not here.

She, um...

She disappeared

a little over a year ago.

She's missing.

Hey, David.

Hey. Detective Sloan.

I heard what happened. You all right?

Oh, yeah. My head hurts.

Yeah, I bet.

Doc said the cat scan looks fine,

gave me some medicine for the pain, so.

Good, look, the reason why I'm here

is I figured rather than letting you

get the runaround from God knows who,

I'd take a look for you.

Your pal Buck never flew out yesterday,

not under that name at least.

What do you mean under that name?

You said he went

to the University of Colorado

in Boulder, is that right?

Yes, that's where Claire met him.

There's no record of him there.

That's gotta be a mistake.

I don't think it is, David.

On a hunch, I checked.

Claire didn't go there, either.

Wait, wait.

What do you... what do you mean?

Listen, David, you can tell me honestly.

Do you know what he was looking for?

No.

So,

you don't know if he found it either.

Do you know what he was looking for?

You found me.

Wow, this place is cool.

Yeah.

What's this?

Oh, I made you some lunch.

That's so sweet.

Yeah, there's a little something inside.

So, what have you been working on?

Ugh, I've been looking at it all day.

Well, I haven't. Let me see.

You can see it when I do something good,

okay?

Fine.

When I'm done. Okay?

Excuse me.

Hey, sorry, uh,

sorry to bother you, but, um...

Have you seen this girl?

Do you recognize her? No?

Jesus.

You're not allowed back here.

This is off-limits.

I'm sorry, I was just looking around.

Get out of here now.

What is going on?

Nothing.

Who is this?

This is no one. He is confused.

Come on, let's go.

Wait, wait.

Is there something

that we can help you with?

Yeah, have you, um...

have you seen this girl?

Do you recognize her?

Fisnik, let go of the poor boy.

This girl, how do you know her?

Well, she's my girlfriend.

She was my girlfriend. She disappeared.

I see.

That is very sad.

Do you... do you know her?

No.

Why would I know her?

Look, I-I don't know. I just..

Why do you come here looking

for this girl, huh?

Uh...

I was just looking everywhere for her.

But... but why do you come here?

Uh... hey.

She just spent a lot of time in this...

in this area, so I thought maybe...

ah, ah. W-w-what is your name?

My name's David.

Now you have a problem, David.

What do you mean?

What's... what's my problem?

I don't believe you.

Hey, wait, I think we just have

a bit of a misunderstan... wait a minute.

David, David. Look at me.

You have to convince me now.

I'm telling you the truth.

Look, maybe... let me just go home, okay?

I'll just go home.

What do you do, David?

What... what is your job?

I, uh... I do graphic design.

I design for websites.

Ah.

I believe that.

Sit down.

All right.

Now... the truth.

I don't...

I don't know what to say.

Don't pay attention to him.

Pay attention to me.

What do you want?

Why did you come here?

I'm looking for my girlfriend.

She disappeared.

I am starting to lose patience, David.

I know that you are

looking for this lady.

Why here?

I'm looking everywhere.

Hey, hey, hey...

So?

Uh...

I saw this address written down. Okay?

It was written on a piece

of paper in her handwriting.

You know, I was just

cleaning out her things and...

You know, I thought I'd just come here.

I was just... just hoping that maybe...

What is her name?

Her name is Claire.

Claire.

Maybe it would be better for you

if you stopped looking for her.

Maybe you don't like what you find.

Detective Sloan?

Yeah, um...

I was wondering

if you could do me a favor.

I was hoping you could check

on a few things for me.

Can I ask you a question?

Sure.

You always change the subject

whenever I ask you about

your family or anything.

That's not a question.

Why can't we talk about it?

Why are you so interested in it?

Well, I don't know, because...

I'm in love with you.

You are?

Yeah.

I mean, should I not be?

Well, it's kind of out of my control,

so...

What is it that you want?

What are you after?

You.

Oh, sh*t.

Does, uh, does your head hurt?

You want some of these?

It helps.

I want you to answer

a few questions first,

and then I'll give it to you.

Why did you come here?

I'm not gonna talk to you.

Okay.

All right.

You're not gonna use that.

How do you know?

Just a feeling you get.

What feeling?

Fear.

And you're not afraid right now?

No.

What about now?

Do you know how much this hurts?

Yeah, well, I do.

Why did you come here?

For information.

What information?

Anything I could find.

Or get out of you.

I don't know anything.

You'd be surprised what you know.

Do you know what happened to Claire?

Huh?

Did you do something to her?

You think I know something?

We're the same, David.

We're both looking for the same thing.

Yeah? What?

Her.

Hey, David.

Hey.

Can I come in?

Yeah, uh...

Jesus Christ.

Yeah. Sorry about... the mess.

I did some digging around

like you asked.

Called in some favors.

Why don't you sit down?

She was lying to you.

Okay.

She didn't go to school in Boulder.

She didn't grow up in Salt Lake City,

either.

Found no record of her parents there.

Why would Claire lie about that?

I mean, I'm looking into it,

but listen, this girl's f***ed up.

You know,

she was clearly a part of something

or she just wasn't

who you thought she was.

No, not really.
