Chapter Eight

Jessica walked away, leaving Stone and Jack outside the church. Stone’s first reaction was to follow her, but he hesitated, and while he was debating with himself, Jack interrupted his train of thought.

“What did you think about the service?” Jack asked.

Stone gave Jessica one last glance, and then turned back to his partner.

“You want the truth?”

Jack nodded.

“I thought Hal Stuart was more nervous than grief-stricken.”

A wry grin broke across Stryker’s face. “That’s why we make such good partners,” he said. “We read people the same way.”

Stone glanced at a man who was coming down the steps of the church. “Then, how do you read that one?” he asked.

Jack turned to look, and then whistled beneath his breath.

“Oh, him. He’s in the dough.”

“What do you mean by that?” Stone asked, watching as the man stopped to speak to several people along his way to a waiting limo.

“That’s Alex Bennett. He could buy and sell everyone in this town a hundred times over. He’s big on charities, always donating, always on the society page. At one time or another, he’s probably worked on a dozen events with Olivia Stuart.”

Stone wrote down Alex Bennett’s name in his notebook.

“What are you doing?” Jack asked.

“Reminding myself to check him out,” Stone said. “At this point, everyone is suspect, remember?”

“I suppose, but I don’t think Bennett is dirty. I hear he’s as straight as they come.”

“Hey, look who’s here,” Stryker said, pointing toward a tall blond man just coming out of the door. “Isn’t that the guy who claimed to have lost his memory? Wonder what he’s doing here?”

Stone shrugged. “Who knows? At any rate, so far nothing has turned up on him through the system.”

Stryker was glancing out across the crowd as Stone slipped his notebook back in his pocket and absently turned to check on Jessica’s progress. An immediate panic hit him and he groaned.

“Oh, no.”

Jack pivoted, following Stone’s gaze to focus on a gathering crowd up the block.

“Wonder what that’s all about?”

“It’s Jessie. I think they’ve got her cornered,” Stone said, and started to run.

Like the good partner he was, Stryker was right behind him.
