Why this must be read: 
 
When Ecklie calls Nick in and gives a speech on personal relationships within a workplace Nick knows somethings up.  Now he just needs to figure out what.

When he got back to the lab, something had changed. He could feel it. Lab techs dropped their voices when he walked by, or turned away, but when they smiled in his direction it wasn't that sneaky sideways we-know-about-you smile. This was a joke they thought he was in on.

He kept his ears open while he processed evidence, picked up a half a sentence here, a choked back laugh there. He calculated the trajectory of the hastily averted looks, the flow of bets and payoffs from ballistics to video to fingerprinting to trace, and by end of shift, he knew what everybody knew, though nobody had told him.
