CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

Jade was torn. She did not know what to think.

She had wanted to see Phil and talk to him face to face, but she was advised not to. She was told it was too dangerous. She was also told it could complicate the case that the Crown was holding against Phil. She was told this by a very enthusiastic Detective Seale. He was also good enough to coach her for the upcoming trial. Jade was not sure if this was the norm, but he was a genuine policeman. She was quite convinced of the veracity of the case.

Then she had a visit from another detective, Detective Clarke. She did not know why, but something about the man made her want to pet him. He sat with her and asked her pointed questions and insisted on her being very detailed. He noted everything in a little brown notebook. Jade felt he acted like a real detective.

The other guy Seale seemed to be more of a public relations officer. Though he did not say, the tone of his questions led Jade to believe that Detective Clarke was not buying Phil’s guilt. Some of the questions he raised were concerns that Jade had. How did he get access to her car? And the emergency call… she did not remember such a call. Detective Seale assured her that she did call. He took the call. She may have had patchy amnesia as a result of her head injury. Did Phil ever resort to violence to resolve any conflicts? Did he even threaten violence? Was he handy with tools and mechanic work? Was he in the habit of having affairs?

Was he a jealous man? Did she think he still loved her? Did she still love him? The uncertainty tore her apart.

Then there was the issue of a wife not having to testify against her husband. Suppose he was innocent and she willingly aided and abetted him being put away? She would never be able to forgive herself despite the affair he had. She’d had one too.

She wasn’t sure now if he wasn’t set up like she was.

She had to decide soon. His trial was imminent.
