Lacey asked, “What way?”

Zeke answered, “Did you think I’d merely invited Mr. Jenkins over for tea?”

Lacey brightened up. “That’s right. Mr. Jenkins, Zeke has been with you the entire time during the incident. I’m sure you can authenticate his alibi.”

Brent reassured her, “Don’t worry. I know the difference between right and wrong.”

Meanwhile, Brent was smiling bitterly to himself.
