Chapter Four

“God.” Kevin shook his head, chuckling.

“It makes sense to me.” Alexis pointed at him. “Apparently Brett said he would expose Grant at the meeting. What did he mean by that?”

“How the hell should I know what Brett meant?” Kevin sat back. “You’re wrong if you think Grant killed Brett. There’s no fuckin’ way.”

“How do you know?” Alexis squinted.

“Because I know Grant.” He flung his arm. “Brett was probably just sprouting off. There wasn’t anything to know about Grant. The man is an open book.”

Bullshit.

Alexis gaped.

Kevin frowned back at her. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Because I can’t believe you’re so naïve when it comes to Grant. You’ve been living in this town and have seen the way he operates, yet you take up for him?”

“I admit when it comes to business, Grant is as shrewd as he comes but that doesn’t make him a killer. Besides the stuff you go on about Grant comes from rumors. You don’t know it for sure.”

“Wake up, Kevin!” Alexis had to hold herself back from smacking some sense into him. “Grant’s a monster who does anything he can to people to get what he wants.”

“Get out!” He pointed to the door. “I’m sick of hearing this nonsense. You need counseling so you can finally move on with your life and stop obsessing over Grant.”

“Fine, Kevin.” Alexis stood. “You wanna sleep with dogs then go right ahead. But don’t come whining to me when you realize what Grant’s really capable of.”

“Trust me.” He sat back. “You’d be the last one I came ‘whining’ to for anything.”

“I can’t believe you’re being so naïve about Grant.” Alexis followed Penelope to the door. “What happened to the fifteen year-old boy who always had my back? He always trusted what I said?”

He shrugged one shoulder. “He got his heart broken and since then he’s never been the same.”

Alexis reflected on his stinging words then headed out the door.

“Hey, Lexi?” he called for her.

She reluctantly stopped at the door. “What?”

“Did you ever talk to King Myers?”

“Who?” Alexis asked.

“That’s Brett’s youngest son,” Penelope said. “We were going to speak to him but haven’t yet.”

“Did you know he had a big blowout with Brett a few weeks ago?” Kevin asked. “Brett told Grant about it and apparently it was so bad that King told him he hated him and wished he was dead.” He looked back and forth at them. “Carolyn didn’t tell

you?”

“No,” Alexis said. “She didn’t.”

****

“I didn’t lie Detective Adams.” Carolyn stood on the veranda of the estate. “I just didn’t want you to think King was involved.”

“Well if you didn’t lie then what the hell do you call it?” Alexis and Penelope sat in the chairs in front of the sliding glass door.

“We specifically asked you if there was anyone other than Grant Copeland who might want to hurt your husband,” Penelope said. “I understand you want to protect your son, but if he’s innocent then you have nothing to worry about.”

Carolyn leaned against the railing.

“Honestly, the fact that you didn’t tell us about King and Brett does not look good at all.
