The Girlfriend

“This is the worst vacation ever. Even before Devon died, it was becoming pretty lousy, but now it’s just awful.”

“We’re very sorry for your loss,” Heather said.

She was sitting across from Devon Davidson’s girlfriend, Tammy, in the interrogation room of the police station. Amy, Ryan, and Detective Peters were next to her.

Ryan’s phone call had been to inform her that Tammy had come to the police station to talk to them. Apparently, she had just discovered that Devon was dead.

“Can you take us through your movements during the night again?” Ryan asked.

Tammy sighed. “It went from bad to worse. I came to Key West with Devon and his friend, Jack. I thought this was going to be a lot of fun. And because Jack was talking about meeting girls here, I thought Devon and I would have some romantic time. I actually thought he was getting more serious about me. But the day of the party, I felt completely ignored. Devon was mingling with everyone except me, and it hurt my feelings.”

“And I bet you made these feelings known,” said Amy.

“Well, I am his girlfriend, and he did bring me here. He could have shown me a little attention. I might have told a few people.”

“Was there anyone at the party who struck you as odd?” asked Ryan.

Tammy thought about it. She played with a long strand of her hair. “I did think it was weird that his neighbor came by the house. Devon said that his neighbors didn’t like his parties, but I guess she was nicer than the old guy next door. He yelled at me when I was walking by one day – just because I spilled some beer on his lawn.”

“The nerve,” Amy said.

“Anyway, the lady neighbor there looked out of place. She seemed a bit nervous too. But she did listen to my problems, so she wasn’t all bad. She didn’t stay too late. There were a lot of people there that I didn’t know, and I guess Devon didn’t know them all either. But then there were some of his friends that lived in town. There was this guy Andrew there. Devon definitely spent more time with Andrew that night than he did with me. It was rude.”

“And he got along with Andrew?” asked Peters.

“Yeah. I mean, I think so. They were being secretive about something. At first, I thought it was cute, but then it got annoying.”

“Do you have any idea what they were talking about?” asked Heather.

“No. I was afraid it might have to do with an ex-girlfriend because I heard a rumor that there was one at the party, but Devon said I was overreacting when I brought it up.”

“Do you know who this ex-girlfriend is?” asked Ryan.

Tammy shook her head. “Devon said I was imagining things, but I bet she was there. I don’t know her name or anything. But I was pretty sure Andrew said that his ex was there. And that really upset me because I thought we were becoming more serious.
