Fanatic ⇒ Only Murders In The Building

02 → Who Is Tim Kono?

"You either make them sympathetic or sexy or interesting, none of which I feel for Tim Kono, so," Oliver informed, joining the group.

"Maybe a little more respect for the dead?" The Brit replied, shooting a pointed look at Oliver.

"Look, someone in this building had to have known him. We find that one person, and all this cracks open." Oliver hummed in agreement.

"What if Tim was a d*ck?" Mabel interjected, a cool anger lacing her tone.

"Respect for the dead?" Callum repeated but he was ultimately ignored.

"That's a definite angle. I mean, I wouldn't want him to be d*ckier than Steve Carell in The Office. I-I'd still care if Steve Carell in The Office got murdered. Or would I? Thinking, thinking, visualising..." Oliver began to ramble about Carnell before Charles stepped in.

"We need to find someone who knew him."

"Here's an idea," Mabel began and stood up. "It's a long shot but they're holding a memorial for Tim Kono in the lobby in 10 minutes. Maybe we learn something there," she said, holding up a pink sheet of paper with the information on it.

"Wow. Good turnout," Charles was the first one to speak as the four arrived in the crowded lobby. "I don't know any of these people."

"Me too. I should probably socialise more," Callum commented to no one in particular. He played with the wire from his earphones, attempting to sooth himself due to the noisy gathering.

"Oh my god, there's food! Fantastic!"

"No sneeze guard, no thank you," Charles stated in disgust as Oliver grabbed a plate. "Might as well lick the fingers of every person in the building."

"Teddy Dimas lives on six. Owns Dimas' Delis," Oliver informed with a plate filled with carrot sticks. "Great guy, great dips. Deaf son." Then he began to ramble about his diet consisting of dips which made Mabel and Callum walk away.

"Why the f*ck is everyone standing? You see these chairs? What do you think they might be for?" Bunny yelled from the set out chairs. "Come on, come on! This won't take long unless you make it take long!" She continued, clapping, while the guests took their seats. Callum took a seat at the end of the row, next to Mabel.

"Bunny, if I may," a man stood up from the front row making Bunny sigh. "I'm Dr Grover Stanley and I'm sure we're all grieving the loss of Tim Kono. If you need to talk privately about Tim or whatever, I live on six and I take Venmo."

"Ooh, a therapist is always a fun suspect. Plus, he's desperate. Always good," Oliver told the group.

"True, especially if they use your fear to kill you," the others turned to Callum with confused look. "Has no one seen that one criminal minds episode?"

Before Callum could explain further, Bunny continued the meeting. "Due to the shocking nature of this incident, I'm told we need to do this... for some bullsh*t insurance purposes. The family's in Japan where the body is already being flown so... um, does anyone have anything they would like to share about Tim Kono?"

"Here we go," Charles whispered. "Time for the killer to make themselves known. That was from my show," he leaned over to Mabel and Callum for the last part as Oliver began to record.

"Glad so many people cared," Callum whispered as Bunny tried to prompt someone to speak.

"Does this mean we get to use our fireplaces again?" A woman a few rows in front of Callum spoke up.

"Yeah, he was the guy with bad asthma, right?" Uma added. "Since he's dead, we should be able to use them now."

"So Tim's the reason why I freeze my tits off every winter?" Callum announced to the group, missing what Bunny had said.
