"Yes, that's a good idea," Derek agreed following her out the door and
around the house to where Nick was beginning to work. He surveyed the scene
carefully noting the trellis and Julia in the window. He then squatted down
beside a set of the prints and studied them closely. "Looks like some type
of running shoe," he said thoughtfully. "Most likely men's." The print was
too large to belong to most women, though anything was possible. "Are there
any that are better," he asked standing and starting to move around a bit,
"some with a logo perhaps." Not that it narrowed things down much, but
every little bit of information could help.
