“Three minutes. Three minutes is all I ask,” Jason said. He looked up at Detective Brian Peters, who was standing outside the door where the doctor’s wife waited.

He had gotten a call at eight that morning from Detective Reyes, Peters’s partner, telling him that they’d found the doc’s wife and were bringing her in for questioning. Jason had contacted his friend Danny, a patrol cop, to stay with Sue while he headed to the precinct. But no sooner had he hung up, Sue had gotten another call from her stalker. And they’d gotten a trace. Unfortunately, the stalker was calling from what was probably one of the last existing pay phones in the city. Jason had a few cars check it out and, as soon as Danny arrived, rushed to check it out himself. Not that he’d expected to find anything. And they hadn’t. However, the timing meant the caller couldn’t be the doctor’s wife.

Then again, maybe she’d hired someone to do it for her and throw off suspicion. Jason wasn’t going to leave any stone unturned. This freak stalking Sue had proven that he wouldn’t stop at murder. Which meant Jason had to stop him…or her.

Detective Peters squared his shoulders. “This isn’t your case, Dodd. Why do you want to question her?” The guy was being a hard-ass.

“Someone’s stalking a friend, and I think that woman knows something. Besides, I’ve already done some research.” Jason wasn’t above bribery. “Let me talk to her, and I’ll give you everything I’ve got.”

The man folded his arms across his chest but gave a nod of acquiescence. “You owe me.”

The two of them walked into the room where the doctor’s wife sat waiting. “Mrs. Everts?” Jason said.

“When are you going to let me see my husband?” The woman shifted in her chair as she spoke. Jason noted her feminine voice. If she’d been doing the earlier calls, she’d done a damn good job at disguising it.

“You didn’t know he’d been shot?”

“If I’d known he’d been shot, I ‘d have been at the hospital.”

Jason turned a chair around and straddled it. “Where were you last night?”

“My son and I were at a hotel.”

“And why were you at a hotel?”

The woman blinked. “My husband and I had an argument.”

“About what?” Detective Peters asked from the corner of the room.

Her gaze shifted. “A silly argument.”

“Humor me,” Jason said.

The woman’s lips went white around the edges. “It’s none of your business.”

Jason stood and moved closer. Leaning palms down on the table, he met her gaze. “It is if you want to convince us that you didn’t shoot him.”

“Me?” Her brown eyes widened. “If you want to find the guilty party, go talk to the little blonde bitch he’s screwing!”

The muscle over Jason’s left brow started to tick. “So, you argued about his girlfriend.”

“Yes. My husband has a problem keeping his pants zipped.”

“Is that why you shot him? You lost your head, and—”

“I didn’t shoot him!”

Jason reared back. “I happen to know that this isn’t the first time your husband has cheated on you.
