So he had two after all, she said. I was beginning to wonder. Hes bringing some wine. Im glad to hear that, Eagle replied. Devine sat back.Im confused, Mr. Cowl. See, at that point I would have made a perfect patsy for the murder. Leaves Cowl and Comely unaffected. I knew Sara. I was a disgruntled employee, former military with maybe some PTSD baggage, look at the shiny object here and not over there. Police are off the premises. So what gives? Devine craned his neck back to look up to the fifty-second floor, where it seemed now that someone hadkilled Sara Ewes. And since he had to find out what was happening at Cowl that might be illegal, he figured he also had to find out who had killed Ewes, because they had to be connected. And that connection might stem from a Broadway play. Yeah, he never knew what hit him or why, Stone said. I roll my own, I said. Thats what I thought as soon as I saw you — youre a chicken-shit, said WASP. But if you want to pussy out, feel free. He fingered his phone, very glad that all of hisevidence from that night was safely on his personal cloud. But even with that, Cowl could have something up his sleeve. Wow. The f-word. Why?

Carol took something off a shelf and held it up, a doorknob sign reading, MORGUE PICKUP.Ill put this on her door, she said, disappearing down the hall. She came back, rapped on the door, and Stone let her in and closed and locked the door. He looked around at the supplies stacked neatly on steel shelving. He grabbed a sheet, shook it open, and spread it over the bed, coveringFrancess face. “Our last line of defense, he said to her. “Keep your breathing shallow.” Donna out front tells me that youve been brooding ever since you got back from Jesss this afternoon. Shes very maternal toward me, Donna is, even though she’s three years younger. She said, Abby, I’m afraid if you go in there you’ll start brooding, too. Whatever it is, it’s serious. So how could Inot come in here?’ Devine looked at Montgomery.Ive trusted her with my life, and she came through. Shes had plenty of opportunities to throw me to the dogs and she hasnt. I’ve told her a lot. And if she had ratted me out to Cowl, I wouldn’t be around..
