Post #3 - The question of Mr. Evans

Everyone has questions.  Little kids ask why the sky is blue, teenagers ask why can't they make their own choices, and adults ask where has all the time gone? In the Foxberry, the elevators go up and down, mostly, and people stand in the lobby as if they were themselves part of the building. On this particular day the patrons were startled by the sound of water flowing from the fountain. Some tossed a coin or two in. Did they want their wishes granted? Did they want answers to their questions?

Take, for example, the question of Mr. Evans. Who knew him? Who saw him the night he met his end? Who had any answers? For that matter, why Mr. Evans? The police were doing their best in a place that liked to hold its answers tightly within the walls, street corners, restaurants and behind closed doors. So it stands to reason that the police struggled to find any pieces of the puzzle, much less put any pieces together.

As the holidays rolled over the city, Halloween passed along with Thanksgiving and Christmas started to appear.  Bea realized that in most other places, packages and letters start filling the mail room, but here, there was only a slight up-tic in package traffic. When the police questioned her, she didn't give them Mr. Evans' letters because she had violated federal law and opened one. A few questions were answered, but more occurred.

Across the street at the museum,  Frankie, Bret, and Evelyn sat in the manager's office, each holding a knife. Each looking at each other.  They now had many questions.

While Aydar and Stephanie G. received knocks on their doors and packages delivered into their arms, Donna and Regan sat in the police station outside the detective's office.  Donna is not too terribly surprised by the summons, but Regan continually checks her phone and looks about the station with a mix of irritation and fear.

And finally, why is Noah standing in corner of the 3rd floor parking deck mumbling to himself as he watches, unbeknownst to her, Stephanie L wandering around spot 303?

To do: If your character is mentioned above, you should have some questions or answers and generally keep with the ideas. For the rest, your character must have a question or two, right? Questions are what keep things interesting.
Due date: December 7th, by the beginning of class.

In the end, the death of Mr. Evans still remained a mystery.  Some thought it was an unknown mugger while others thought it was a family rel...
