Hey, yourself. I suppose you got back all right. Everything okay there? Answer the question, Mason said. Jean Fellows had arranged to house Cindy for a few days with the proviso that she had an entire season ofDownton Abbey and would permit only that to decorate her screen when she got home after work. If Cindy didnt like that, She can read theNational Enquirer or something. The slashing rain hadnt done much for Jean’s mood, either. She’d intended her remark as a joke, but there had been an edge to it. At the Union Station, the defendant transferred cabs. She picked up another cab, and, mark this well, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, because it is highly important — she had this cabtake her to her residence. We dont know what she did there. We do know what she had an opportunity to do there. She then had the taxi, which had been waiting in front of her house, drive to the parking lot where her car had been located. At that time, she entered her car and did something to the door of the glove compartment. How did the kids take the news about Sally? I said. Thirty-Six Yes, it is. But why exactly are you screwing the boss? You have the talent to make it on your own. This isnt nineteen eighty. No, none whatever. You were on the board of directors of the Sylvan Glade Development Company? You start spewing lies about me and this firm, I bury you in court for the next twenty years. I bury whoever youre working for, too. And at the end, Ill still be rich, and I dont know what you’ll be, but it won’t be good. And I’ve been doing some digging on you, Devine. You left the Army under a cloud. Guy in your unit killed himself by hanging. Left behind a luscious wife. Then another guy you knew ended up dead. My people tell me he might have been banging the bedsprings with the first guy’s wife. He might have killed the guy instead of it being a suicide. You knew them both. And they’re both dead. And then you dump your career and come into my world. What’s that all about? You got some guilty secret hanging out there? The doctor I spoke with said you can never tell. There are moments of lucidity. And seeing Christians name on the TV screen and the fact that he was dead jolted Poppy into one of those moments. He went into cardiac arrest. They couldnt resuscitate him. How do you know? Given my age and relative condition, it shouldnt have been too much trouble to dive for him and grab his weapon while he was falling to the ground. But Skully was Skully, a crazy but wily bastard who would probably be lucky enough to put two bullets in my head while I was trying to knock him over. You got the letter back? she asked. Harvey? Murfin said. Harvey dont go to funerals. I dont have to answer that..
