“Are you alright, Clare? I’m sorry about Bonner. He can be a real asshole sometimes.” Fitzpatrick’s arm around her shoulders brought her back.

“What did he mean, outside repercussions?” She took a step away from him to free herself. “Could I be fired?”

Fitzpatrick shook his head. “Doubtful. But the family might try to sue you and the prison for negligence, malpractice, or some other BS cooked up by a greedy attorney.”

“You saw him that day, right? Dumas? You saw me talking to him?”

“I heard a snippet of conversation through a half-closed door.” Well, that didn’t take long. Fitzpatrick had already begun distancing himself.

“And what did you think? He didn’t seem suicidal, did he?” Her voice came out high, screeching. It frightened her a little. “Did he?” she said again. “He didn’t. I know he didn’t. He had just talked to his wife last week. He was so happy about it.”

“Sit down, Clare. Try to breathe.” Fitzpatrick pushed the folding chair toward her, and she collapsed into it. “I’m going to tell you something, but it’s just between us. It doesn’t leave this room. Lieutenant Bonner thought it was best you didn’t know. But, I’m fond of you, and I think you deserve the truth.” Clare nodded as he sat across from her, their knees close enough to touch. “Dumas had received a telephone call right after he left your office. It was from his wife.” Fitzpatrick put his hand on her knee and left it there, but she felt too desperate for the rest of the story to care. “She’d asked for a divorce.”
