More details to this question:
A detective left a card for my fiancé at his home. The card said to call the detective back. This was on a Sunday. My fiancé calls him. The detective does not answer so my fiancé left a message. The detective calls him back the next day and asks if my fiancé can come in on a Wednesday at 11 am. My fiancé wanted to meet with the detective that day to get everything cleared and because my fiancé did not want to worry about this for 3 days. The detective said he was too busy on Monday and that Wednesday would work best. My fiancé asked what was going on and wanted to know what the allegations were. The detective said that it had to do with an incident involving a girl. That was all he told my fiancé. Neither me nor my fiancé know this girl. My fiancé has committed no crime or broken any law. He just wants to clear this whole mess. What does it mean if the detective is too busy?

It is never a good thing when they want to talk to you at the station. Take an attorney with you if you want to go see him. If you don't take an attorney and go alone, if he reads you your rights before he begins, refuse to answer and ask for counsel.
