We were working out together at the gym. He looked at me with a sideways glace that just reeked of "there he goes again, sounding crazy."

The friendship fell apart shortly afterward after he came to my house wearing a bug (I was briefly a 'person of interest' in a case of missing bank money - which, it later turned out, had been pinched by a loan officer with gambling debts). He seemed to enjoy it - which really did it.

The memory, I must admit, still bothers me to this day. A common tale, certainly.

Qué será.
