Kenneth Fuchs

Kenneth Fuchs is an officer with the New Orleans Police Department, and his first conversation with Brigid O'Reilly consists of being handed her coffee. She walks into a crime scene, gives him the cup without explaining why, and leaves him standing there holding it. He finds her in her car later and gives it back with his phone number written on the side. What follows is easy and warm on his end. He makes pancakes and calls them girlfriend pancakes, and when she points out that nobody has settled that question yet, he counts her eating them as settling it. He worries about where her own digging is taking her, and he says so.
