Chapter 25

I scrolled to the Committee list on my laptop and recited, “Daniel Cohen, Leo Getty, Rowlina Roth-Holtzmann, Georgia Smith, Jimmy Harmon, Amanda Knightbridge, Skylar Carvelle, Bart Edgar and you, but of course you weren’t at the meeting. Also at the meeting were Max Bouchet, Miranda Juarez, Connie Robinson. Skylar Carvelle is dead. Of the rest of those people, only you and Daniel Cohen have airtight alibis for Carl’s death. If we assume that this is all tied together and that Carl was murdered, that lets you and Cohen out of the loop.”

“Thank you,” she said wryly.

“I wouldn’t be telling you this if I thought you were a suspect,” I smiled. “I’d like your opinion on these people, I need to get more insight into them. If you were doing candid evaluations on them tell me what you’d write. Start with Skylar Carvelle because he wanted to talk to me about something important and someone killed him. Any ideas?”

“I’d say that Skylar was a bit of a weasel because he seemed to revel in being a first class snitch, but if I said that, I’d be doing what I was blaming Skylar for doing. Though, if Skylar had managed to... um... spill the beans to you, he might still be alive. I guess there’s a moral in there somewhere?” she asked with raised eyebrows.

“Yes, the moral is you must answer all my questions with veridicality and alacrity.”

She snorted, “And I must do this because you have a large vocabulary?”

“No Kathryn, do it because I’m the detective trying to stop the killer,” I said frankly.

She drew in breath at that and nodded, “Yes, OK. I’ll try. Um, I really can’t think of any reason why Skylar called you.”

“OK, then let’s talk about Bart Edgar.”

“Bart’s a fuck-up,” she said flatly.

“You’d write that on an evaluation?” I snorted.

“I don’t often use language like that. It demonstrates a lack of vocabulary, but it does seem to concisely describe the man.”

“What happened that day, when he picked you up at the airport?”

“Oh, my... well... Miranda instructed him to wait on a bench at the bottom of the main escalator. I finally found him on bench at the bottom of a different staircase.”

“Hey, he was close...”

“Uh huh,” she said dubiously. “We went to the baggage claim area...”

“Did you talk about anything?”

“It’s impossible to have a conversation with that man. He... oh rats, I sound like a bitch saying this...”

“Your candid opinion...”

She shook her head in dismay, “I’ll just tell you what happened. He tried to make conversation, but I couldn’t follow what he was talking about. He starts every sentence in the middle. I tuned him out. My cell rang. It was the Governor’s office, so I asked Bart to watch for my two bags. A huge brief case and my suitcase, each are blue with a big red stripe... Very easy to identify. I wandered away, taking the call.”

I nodded.

“So when I was done, I came over to the baggage carousel. Both my bags were circling around and Bart was staring off into space.
