Janet glanced up as Johanna, Mitch, and Rocky filed into her office. “You’re back,” she said, leaning back in her seat. She folded her arms across her chest and crossed her long legs.

“I am. Thank you for seeing me again.” Johanna gestured towards Mitch. “Have you met Mitch Connelly? He was Felicia’s fiancé.”

Mitch held out a hand to Janet. “Hello, Ms. Sandborn.”

She unfolded her arms and leaned forward, taking just the tip of his fingers in her hand. “Janet,” she said, crossing her arms again.

“Janet,” he agreed.

“No, I don’t think we’ve ever formally met. You were in the office once, maybe twice.”

Mitch gave her a tight smile. “Yes, I popped in a few times to take Felicia to lunch.”

“So what’s up now?” she asked, looking straight at Johanna.

“We have reason to believe that Felicia had a property showing on the day that she died.”

Janet lifted a shoulder. “It’s possible.”

“But she wasn’t scheduled to work that day,” said Mitch. “She told me that.”

“We get calls and texts all the time. Clients don’t know it’s your day off,” she explained. “Clients don’t call and say, ‘Hey, are you busy today? Because I don’t want to inconvenience you.’ No. They don’t do that. They want what they want when they want it, and what they want is for you to drop everything you’ve got going on and cater to them.”

“Well, we’re fairly confident that Felicia got a text that day and was asked to show a very expensive property. We heard that the commission on that property alone would have paid for her entire wedding and honeymoon. That’s a pretty good chunk of change,” said Johanna. She felt emboldened by Janet’s flip attitude.

“Like I said, it’s totally possible.”

Mitch’s eyes narrowed as he addressed her next. “Were you aware of any showings that Felicia had that day?”

Janet closed both eyes and shook her head. “I can’t recall.”

Johanna smiled at her and then stood up brazenly while Mitch and Rocky stared up at her. “Okay, that’s fine. Tim’s getting Felicia’s phone records for the day from Roz. We’ll find out exactly who texted her and ask them what they knew.”

Janet’s eyes snapped open and narrowed on Johanna. “Go ahead, be my guest.”

“And I’m sure if the client is in any way connected to you, the police would like to know that, wouldn’t they? Maybe we’ll let them piece together if you were aware of any showings that Felicia had that day.”

Janet groaned and sat forward in her chair. “Ugh, sit down.”

Johanna sat trepidatiously, shocked that her scare tactic had actually worked in a place outside of her novels, while Mitch gaped at her.

“She had a showing that day,” she admitted.

Mitch turned his attention to Janet. “Well, why in the world didn’t you tell the cops that? I know they asked!”

“Felicia and I didn’t really get along that well.” Janet shrugged. “I didn’t want them to think I had anything to do with her murder.”

“Why would they think that?” asked Mitch.

Janet lifted a blond brow. “Are you kidding? I watch all those crime shows.
