April 30th, early evening

Lauren hesitated before ringing the buzzer - almost walked away, in fact, before forcing herself to turn and face the door. She didn't know Bert very well and wouldn't have approached him at all if it hadn't been for Sam's recommendation. She trusted the other woman's judgement (and research), and if a cop said that he'd be a good person to talk to, well, then who was she to second-guess it?

Bzzzz.

Well, the only thing better than getting a laugh from anybody is getting a laugh from a pretty blonde, so Bert grins, genuinely grateful to see that smile.

"I am nothing if not thorough," Bert agrees with her seriously. "Though I confess, I didn't actually know you were a doctor until Sam told me. Should I... be calling you 'doctor'?" he ventures, affecting some anxiety for quiet, well-mannered Lauren's undoubted wrath.
