Chapter Fourteen

Maya

Several days after the incident, the police called Maya and asked her to come to the station, which meant another trip to Idaho Springs. This one infinitely less pleasant than breakfast and shopping with Kevin. She didn’t understand why she couldn’t talk to someone at the Blackwood Police Station, but she cooperated.

The Idaho Springs Police Station was on the same street as the church where the meeting had been held.

She drove by the scene first just to review the incident in her mind. Much to her surprise, though, she wasn’t asked to come down to the station to give a statement on the attack.

She was going down to the station because the man had filed charges against Kevin and she had to give her eyewitness account.

The Idaho Springs Police station wasn’t much bigger than the one in Blackwood. Maya entered the stand-alone building and was directed to a conference room.

It surprised her that they actually had her face to face with the man who’d pestered her and grabbed her at the meeting. She took a seat across from him. When the officer introduced her, she remembered so many more details, including his name. Tim Johnson. He was wearing a brace around his neck. She hoped he wasn’t faking, and that he needed it.

She texted Deena Grace, the Blackwood Corporation attorney, because she was the only lawyer whose contact information was handy.

“I’m going to ask you to put your cell phone away.” The interviewing policeman glared at her.

“I’m texting my lawyer.” She was livid and could hardly type because her hands were shaking so bad. She felt a darkness rise within her.

Her eyes met Tim’s before she pressed send. “Done.” She stared straight at him, hoping her glare delivered the message she was unhappy. “You have some nerve.”

Of course, Tim was lawyered up though he couldn’t have paid much for his services. His snout-nosed attorney wasn’t one for details with his mussed-up hair and sweat-stained shirt. She didn’t want to look too closely, but she’d swear the brown spot on the man’s tie was gravy.

“Not sure why you called your lawyer. You’re not under arrest. We aren’t here because you’re being charged with anything.”

Tim pulled at the brace around his neck. “She thinks because she’s a Blackwood, she’s entitled to certain privileges.”

“You thought because I’m a Blackwood I wouldn’t miss the money you stole from me. We have you on tape. The statute of limitations has not run out, and I can press charges tomorrow.”

“If you would like to,” said the officer, “we can handle that, but in the meantime, we need to focus on the matter at hand.”

She had been lying about the tape but Tim didn’t know that. Bluffing wasn’t her strong suit when she was drunk and she hoped it worked better now that she was sober. There most likely wasn’t any way of proving he’d robbed her, but her cousin Cal and brother Clem seemed to think so.

There might be something on the surveillance tapes at her Idaho Springs home or any of her other homes, depending on whether she’d brought him there.
