After a quick trip to Nick’s house so Sam could exchange the red satin bridesmaid monstrosity for jeans, Nick drove her from Capitol Hill to Columbia Heights. As he dodged the black BMW through traffic, Sam wondered when he’d started driving like a cop and how she’d failed to notice.

“What do you know about him?” she asked.

“He’s a friend—one of the first to welcome me to the Senate, the first to tell me what I really needed to know, the first to offer his help.”

“And?”

“And what?”

“What else do you know that you’re not sure you should tell me in light of current events?”

“There are times when it’s terribly annoying that you know me so well.”

“Likewise. Now start talking.”

He glanced over at her. “I think he might be living in his office.”

“Why do you say that?”

“I’ve seen him there at odd hours in sweats and T-shirts. He showers in the gym, but I’ve never seen him work out.”

“If you’re there at odd hours, why can’t he be?”

“It doesn’t seem like he’s actually working, you know? I hadn’t really given it all that much thought, to be honest, until right now.”

“Why would he be living in his office?”

“A lot of people in Congress struggle to support two places—one in their home state and another here. As we both know, it’s not cheap to live around here, and despite what people think, not everyone in politics is independently wealthy.”

“Does he have a family?”

“A wife back in Sedona and five children, all adopted, a few of them special-needs.”

“That could be why he doesn’t have the money for an apartment in Washington.”

“Wouldn’t surprise me.”

“He sounds like a nice guy.”

“He is.”

“So what’s he doing with a dead woman in Columbia Heights?”

“I have no idea.”
