“So… what? McFellan thought Jay was in his way somehow and decided to take him out?” Adam asked as he pushed the button for the elevator.

“That doesn’t fit with his personality, does it?” Ramona smiled as she looked sideways at Adam. “He’s more likely to find some way to get Jay fired, not shoot him. And it probably wouldn’t be too hard for him, based on some of the stuff I’ve seen about him online.”

“Like what?”

“He uses his money and his power to get whatever he wants. Budget line items for pet projects. Congressional votes suddenly shifting his way. You should check out some of the dirt posted on Political Dish.”

Adam smiled, thinking about the last thing he had read. A biography of the Black Count, the father of Alexander Dumas. Fascinating, but probably not relevant to this investigation. “I don’t follow political blogs, sorry. So maybe Senator Marshall realized what she was getting into and wanted a way out?”

“Doesn’t work.” Ramona smiled again. “He was still inside when the shot was fired.”

“And how could she have done it, when she was standing right next to Jay?” Adam finished the thought for her.

Ramona smiled. “You read my mind.”

“Just because she couldn’t do it herself, doesn’t mean she didn’t set it up.”

“John Marshall has something he’s not telling us, Sam’s sure of it. But how could he have done it, either? He was in the house with McFellan.”

“McFellan admits that Marshall left the room first. We’ve been thinking that left McFellan without an alibi — but it leaves Marshall without a witness, too.” Adam was warming up to this idea when his thoughts were cut off.

“Excuse me. Yes, you. Hello.” The woman’s voice was high and sharp, almost as sharp as the stiletto heels that dug little holes into the carpet as she marched toward them.

“Can we help you?” Ramona turned toward the woman as she spoke.

“You can leave, that’s what you can do. I don’t know what the hell you thought you were doing, interviewing my client without me present, but it’s all garbage. You can’t use any of it.” She glared at Ramona, then turned her attention to Adam. Her eyes moved down from his face to his legs, and her glare softened. She almost smiled.

Adam smiled warmly, his dimples on full display, and put out his hand. “Detective Adam Kaminski. I’m here from Philadelphia, investigating the murder of Jay Kapoor.”

She took his hand limply. “I know who you are and why you’re here. And why you’re leaving.”

“We’re leaving because we’re done here.” Ramona’s smile was saccharine sweet.

“You, my dear, are leaving because I just spoke to your captain. You’ll be hearing from him any minute now, I imagine.” The lawyer’s smile was triumphant. “And you.” She turned to Adam. “I don’t know why Philly PD is here, but you have no jurisdiction here. And no right to talk to my client. Again. Period.” She emphasized each word with a tap of her alligator-skin heels.

The three of them stood in the plush and polished hallway, the lawyer glaring at the two police officers.
