the distance between us.

“Of course, sir.” The man agrees, leading me towards his desk, “I would never waste

your time.”

I follow him at a distance, muttering under my breath and trying to guess what fresh hell he might be preparing to thrust me into. Taking the guest chair as he settles in front of his computer, I mentally count to ten, urging myself to have patience.

with a smug smile. “As you know we collected a few boxes of evidence from your

apartment on the night of the murder,

including a number of items from your

mother’s room.”

“And?” I prompt him, wishing he would get to the point.

“Well my team has been going through that

evidence all week, and yesterday one of my

rookies came across a document we

previously missed – one which could explain your ex-wife’s motive for the
