MURPHY
The detectives arrived together. Elwin took the lead, which didnât surprise Murphy. Sarah stood behind him, glowering at all of them. She hadnât said anything yet; he knew she was holding on for the beautiful rant that would come at some point.
Murphy was almost disappointed when they simply took Georgeâs statement, a copy of the video, and collected the evidence. He exchanged a confused look with the others when theyâd left. âWas it anticlimactic for anyone else?â
âNo yelling.â George sank down on the couch. He covered his face with a cushion for a moment, mumbling muffled curses into it. âWhy do I feel more concerned?â
âDonât allow anyone connected to Griffin into your cottage. And if the detectives come âround again, give me a call.â Evan chugged down the last of his coffee before heading towards the door. âTry to keep it during normal business hours if at all possible.â
âYes, weâll definitely schedule any and all legal issues to a nine-to-five window.â Murphy smirked when Evan flipped him off. âTell Teagan hello.â
âWanker.â Evan slammed the door shut behind him.
Murphy shook his head at the dramatics. He turned to find George with his head in his hands. âThe detectives know you didnât kill him. We donât even know whatâs in the eye cream. No point in stressing at the moment.â
âAnd yet, here I am. Still stressed.â George collapsed against the cushions with a groan. âYou realise my dad and yours are descending into the middle of this madness.â
âBugger. Iâd forgotten.â Murphy dropped onto the sofa beside George. He threw his arm around him and drew him into his side. âSarahâs not going to be thrilled when they begin sticking their noses into her inquiry.â
âThey wouldnât.â
âYour dad would move heaven and earth for you. And Iâm fairly confident mine loves you more than me,â Murphy teased. âCan you imagine either of them deciding to ignore a murder inquiry?â
âWell, no. But only because theyâre cut from the same interfering cloth.â George had an excellent point.
Duncan Baird and Rishi Sheth had become the best of mates several years ago during the Highland Games when theyâd both been visiting their respective sons and met each other. It had been like long-lost brothers reconnecting. The two were inseparable.
âTheyâre going to want to know about us.â Murphy had deflected questions about their relationship. Neither of them wanted to be overloaded with questions from their families when theyâd only just started datingâofficially. âAnd theyâre definitely going to be obnoxious about shoving themselves into the investigation.â
George yawned in response. âTheyâre going to be who they are. I say we let Detectives Smith and Baird deal with the issues of parental interference.â
Murphy had to chuckle at the visual of Sarah attempting to corral the two older men into behaving themselves. âBrilliant. Right. If you keep yawning like that, youâll crack your jaw. Think itâs time for bed.â
âStay?â George picked absently at a thread on the cushion in his lap. âTo sleep?â
Murphy squeezed his arm around George a little more tightly. âOf course.
