Lilly sat on the passenger without a word. Pete went home after he had reported everything that happened to Matthew. The awkwardness in the car was palpable that Lilly could not help squirming like an earthworm on her seat.

"Are you worried about getting late?" He asked, glancing at his clock. "I don't think it's going to be a problem since you're already late." 

Lilly looked at Matthew from the corner of her eyes. She was still confused about what happened at the police station. From what she understood in the way Matthew and Officer Stanley talked, they knew each other, close enough for Matthew to be the godfather of Officer Stanley's son. And he was also inviting them to a dinner at his house.
