"It's Doug," Alex blurted out, wringing his hands. "Ava's crazy ex-boyfriend. He knows something, Jamal. But we are not sure exactly what he knows."
Jamal shot to his feet, slamming his fist on the desk. "What? How the hell did that happen? What the hell are you saying and why is this so important!"
