Chapter 12

I hadn’t been inside a police station since Ryan’s murder case played out earlier that summer. I wasn’t really looking forward to the prospect this time around, either. The cops had not been very nice to me last time, but then again, I was the prime suspect in my husband’s murder. I wondered how Detective Webster of the Richmond PD was going to treat me. Would he be grateful for the helpful information? Or would he be offended with my presence, as many police officers are when it comes to private investigators? I was about to find out.

I gave my name at the reception desk and told the young, dark-skinned lady sitting at the computer I had an appointment with Detective Webster. She smiled at me pleasantly and paged the detective, holding up her pointer finger.

“He’ll be right with you,” she said nicely. “You can have a seat over there while you wait.”

“I’m fine,” I said. “But thank you.”

Not even a minute passed by before a man wearing khaki pants and a navy blue polo shirt appeared around the corner with his hand extended in front of him.

“You must be Libby,” he said with a genuine smile.

I couldn’t help but notice how incredibly good-looking he was. From the dark brown military-style haircut, to the root beer eyes, right down to the tiny dimples that formed on both cheeks when he smiled and flashed his perfectly aligned, very white teeth. I was smitten. And when I’m smitten, I become a bumbling idiot, and typically embarrass myself.

“Hi…uh…I’m…yep! That’s me!” I said stupidly as I allowed his firm grip to envelop my hand.

“Nice to meet you. Follow me to my office,” he said, gesturing toward the hallway.

I nodded, unsure what to say, if anything, and followed along behind him with my legal pad held close to my chest. I had brought my notes, just in case.

When we arrived at his office, he motioned for me to sit in a padded blue chair opposite his desk. He sat down in a large black leather swivel chair, pulled himself forward, and crossed his arms on top of his desk. I noticed the muscles in his arms bulging slightly when he did this.

“Now, you said you have some information for me?”

I quickly shifted my eyes from his nice, tan arms to his lovely, symmetrical face. When I registered what he had said, I was shocked that this detective was being so cordial to me. My experience with police officers in the past had not been so pleasant. I reminded myself not all cops are assholes, despite what I had recently been through.

“Yes, like I said, I met with Jo—I’m sorry—Joanna Baker, yesterday morning. I’m working on a case and she said she had information that might help me, so I met her at Willie’s.”

“How exactly did you know Ms. Baker?”

“Actually, believe it or not, I only met her less than forty-eight hours ago. I stopped at Willie’s after a long day. You know, to unwind a little.
