The Fallout

When I got home, the apartment was empty, an amazing happenstance on a Saturday morning. I slipped into my bed and fell asleep and just let the rest of the weekend fade away.

Monday morning should have been monumental. After all, I was going to see Evan for the first time since that explosive night, but he wasn’t at the office when I arrived, and though I looked out for him more than I normally would, no one at the office seemed to know that anything was different.

Of course, nothing was supposed to be different, I had agreed to that. One night only, no strings, no talking. But it had been hard to keep the story from my roommates, I just wanted to brag and brag all weekend long. Unless Evan offered himself up to me again, then I could probably distract myself from the bragging.

But Monday took a turn for the weird and terrifying just before lunch. Two detectives from the NYPD came to the office and asked to speak with me in private.

Of course, my heart rate skyrocketed even though I couldn’t think of any serious crime that I’d ever committed. Okay, yes, sometimes I watched TV over the internet without paying for cable, but I was pretty sure New York had enough crime to keep me towards the bottom of the list.

Detectives O’Hara and Santiago were waiting for me in one of the smaller conference rooms. Both women rose when I entered the room and Detective Santiago, a woman with blonde hair and bright blue eyes shook my hand. “Thank you for your time, Miss Bowen.”

I nodded and sat, keeping my hands folded tightly in front of me on the table. I could actually feel my knuckles turning white, but I was so freaked out that I didn’t dare loosen my grip.

Detective O’Hara, a woman with long black hair and olive skin sat down next to me. “Do you know Nicholas Bitterman?”

“Who?” The name sounded vaguely familiar, but I couldn’t place it. I looked between the detectives. “Should I?”

But Detective Santiago didn’t answer my question. “Where were you early Saturday morning, around three AM?”

“I was asleep.” All expression dropped from my face two seconds after I said it. That wasn’t a lie, and it wasn’t the exact truth either. But I couldn’t tell them I was with Evan Daringer. No way in hell would I keep my job if that got out. “I’m sorry, I’m not quite following you.” This was just like being questioned on TV, except I wasn’t at the police station and I didn’t have a lawyer.

Should I wait to get a lawyer?

No, it wasn’t like I could afford one, or that I even knew who to call.

“What is this—” I tried to ask, but my question was interrupted by the door opening. Evan stood on the other side, a perturbed look on his face. He took in the two detectives and me sitting there right in between them.

“I’m sorry, detectives.” He didn’t sound it.
