Chapter Twenty-nine

Mary sat back and sighed after Charlie left the room. “Well, we have a lot of witnesses for motive,” Mary said.

Bradley nodded and picked up his phone to quickly glance at his emails. “Yeah, and not a whole lot of anything else,” he replied. “Are you hungry?”

She smiled. “Starved. And I really have to go to the bathroom,” she said.

“Well, I noticed the bathroom is down the hall and around the corner,” he said. “And I just sent a text to Alex to have him come join us when we interview Angela Tate and Darren. I think we need to bring in the big guns for this interview.”

She nodded. “That’s a good idea,” she said.

“And I told him to pick up lunch and bring it with him.”

She smiled widely. “And that’s a great idea.”

He chuckled. “Okay, go use the bathroom, and then we can go over our notes until Alex gets here.”

Slipping from the conference room, Mary made her way into the women’s room and a stall at the far corner of the room. A little while after she’d locked the stall door, Mary heard the door to the bathroom open.

“What did they ask?” the now familiar tone of Angela Tate’s voice echoed in the small, tiled room.

“I don’t know,” Sonja answered. “Just the usual questions you get during a murder investigation.”

“Don’t be a smart-ass,” Angela snapped. “Don’t forget. Without me you wouldn’t have this internship.”

Mary listened intently and heard Sonja’s sigh. “You know, I don’t think that would be a really wise move on your part,” Sonja replied easily. “Admitting that you brought someone in to spy on the rest of the interns might make you look, I don’t know, suspicious.”

Mary really wished she could see Angela’s face. Then she smiled, quickly finished in the stall and flushed the toilet. She exited the stall and turned to the surprised women standing in the middle of the bathroom.

“Well this is awkward,” Mary said with a little grimace as she walked over to the sinks to wash her hands. “Although, really, it will make our interview with you, Ms. Tate, so much more interesting.”

The other two women still stood in shock while Mary pulled a paper towel out of the dispenser, quickly dried her hands, tossed it into the waste receptacle and shrugged at both of them before exiting the bathroom. She allowed a smile to grow on her face as she walked back down the hall towards the conference room.

“Sonja was spying on me?” Ruth asked, appearing next to Mary.

“So, you heard that?” Mary whispered.

“Yeah, I heard it,” Ruth said. “Sonja was my roommate. I thought she was my friend. How could she spy on me?”

Mary hurried into the conference room and closed the door. Ruth glided through the door behind her.

“Mary,” Bradley began, but Mary held her hand up to stop him.

“Ruth’s here,” she said, before turning her attention to the ghost. “You don’t know what circumstances caused Sonja to agree to spy for Angela.”

Bradley’s eyebrows raised, and Mary nodded.
