I waited with hands on the wheel for Nash to reach my SUV and lean on the open window. “Hello, Officer,” I said, smiling. “Is there a problem?”

Nash’s hands tightened on the sill. “Don’t you say one damn word about what you saw, Begay, do you hear me? Maya doesn’t need any kind of talk about her.”

I suppressed my laughter at his discomfort. Poor Jones. He had no idea how to handle something so personal. “Don’t worry about me, Sheriff. It’s none of my business.”

“Maya and I used to go out,” he said, as though needing to explain. “Before Amy. I’ve been worried about Maya since she found the body in your basement. I stopped by to talk to her about it, and things . . .” He trailed off.

“Just happened?” I shrugged. “That’s natural, especially if there was something between you before.”

“Keep it to yourself, all right?”

“I hadn’t planned to say anything at all. Like I said, it’s none of my business.” I looked at him in curiosity. “Why do you want to keep it such a secret, anyway? I don’t think anyone would blame you.”

Nash took his hands from the windowsill, and when he spoke his voice was hard. “It’s not that simple.”

“Why not? I think even Chief McGuire would understand that you were trying to move on with your life.”

“I’m not moving on. Not like this.”

“That’s something you need to work out with Maya.” I straightened up, reaching for the gearshift. “I won’t say a word, if you don’t want me to. I like Maya; I wouldn’t want to see her get hurt. But she does need to get her butt back to my hotel and finish my electricity. Will you tell her that if you talk to her again?”

Nash straightened up without answering, his frown in place. I put the SUV in gear, and pulled away, spinning my tires a little bit, just to annoy him. When I looked back, I saw him glaring and patting dust off his perfectly creased trousers. I laughed again, and drove on.
