CHAPTER 8

Rhonda looked up from her notepad as the door opened and she smiled at Luke as he came in. He smiled back at her, and she nodded to the couch. He took a seat, his pose casual and his body language natural. He didn’t look like he was trying too hard to look comfortable. He looked like he was just naturally comfortable with the situation. It was the way someone innocent should look, but it was also the way someone guilty could practice looking to help their case.

“So, Luke, have you known the Hunters for long?” Rhonda asked.

At this point in the interview process, she felt like she knew very little about Luke compared to the other guests. No one had decided he was likely Colleen’s killer and he had barely come up at all except as someone that Colleen had tried to set up with Mandy.

“I’ve known Vinnie for ten years, maybe longer. And he introduced me to Colleen pretty quickly,” Luke said. “Back then I was still with Marina, my ex-wife. We spent some time together as a foursome going out for dinner and what not. We even went on holiday together a few times.”

“So, you would say that you were good friends with both of the Hunters?” Rhonda said.

“Yes, I would now,” Luke said. “Although I was probably more friendly with Vinnie and Marina and Colleen were closer. But when Marina and I split up, she moved to Europe and Colleen and I became closer, although I would still have said Vinnie and I were closer.”

“How did you feel about Colleen trying to set you up with Mandy?” Rhonda asked.

At first Colleen played it like she understood and that should have been the end of it. But, of course, it was Colleen, and she isn’t used to being told no.

“She would engineer situations were Mandy and I were left alone together or in some sort of forced proximity to each other. I’m sure she thought she was being subtle, but she really wasn’t. I knew what she was doing. Mandy knew what she was doing. And I dare say the rest of our circle knew what she was doing. It was so awkward, and I told her several times to stop it, but nope, she never did.

“Like take tonight for example. My character in the game was supposedly besotted with Mandy’s character to the point where my motive for killing Benjamin was to please her. If that’s not the perfect example of Colleen and her cringey, meddlesome ways, I don’t know what is.”

“You talk as though you didn’t like Colleen much,” Rhonda said.

“Oh, no, as I said, I liked her plenty. We were good friends for the most part. I know she can rub people up the wrong
