CHAPTER 13

While sharing a drink, Hall and Tucci discussed Jack’s assertions about Samantha. But when Carlyle’s call came in regarding the two men who attacked Wentworth at the Ryan estate, Hall and Tucci weren’t sure what to make of things.

Hall had taken Tucci’s phone and spoken to Carlyle. Carlyle told her that Wentworth denied knowing why he was attacked.

“Here’s the thing though, the two guys that attacked Wentworth are originally from Umgawai. That’s the same African country where Brendan Ryan once owned diamond mines; there has to be a connection, Miss Hall. It’s too big a coincidence.”

“That doesn’t mean that it has anything to do with Mrs. Ryan’s murder,” Hall said.

“Maybe, maybe not, but all of a sudden the lawyer is giving off a weird vibe.”

“I’ll question him when we get back, unofficially, and good work, Detective.”

Hall handed Tucci his phone.

“Your partner was lucky. Two against one could have ended badly.”

Tucci stood and tossed money on the bar.

“Yeah, I need to get back and check on him.”

Hall smiled at Tucci.

“You worry about your partner, I like that, Al.”

“Does that mean that we can do dinner sometime?”

“Yes, as soon as this case is finished. Speaking of that, let’s hurry back, there’s a judge I need to talk to and I want to see these men who attacked Wentworth. It will also be interesting to see if they’re bailed out, and if so, by whom.”

“Are you starting to doubt that the kid killed the old lady?”

“Maybe, but I still think she’s an odd little bitch.”

Tucci laughed.

“I’m with you there, and if what Jack said is true, I wouldn’t get on her bad side for no reason. Who knows, maybe she’ll start paying you visits in the middle of the night.”

“Don’t even joke about that,” Hall said, as the two of them left the bar.

***

Jessica and her husband watched Samantha as she spent time with Liam and Emma.

The children seemed to fascinate Samantha, particularly Liam, and she displayed patience whenever she was with them.

“I have a brother and a sister now,” Samantha said, as the realization struck her.

“That’s right, and you’ll be the big sister, which means you’ll get to babysit for free,” Jessica said.

Samantha handed Liam one of the building blocks he was playing with, then walked over to the sofa to sit beside Jessica.

“Am I poor now that Grandfather lost all his money?”

“No,” Mr. White said. “Mr. Wentworth said there’s still a generous college fund that can’t be touched by the creditors. Also, as our daughter you’ll never have to worry about money; we’ll see to that.”

“I don’t want to be poor, and Grandfather was very generous, but he wouldn’t let me have everything I wanted. He said it would spoil me.”

“What did you want that he wouldn’t let you have?” Jessica asked.

“A fur coat.”

Jessica smiled.

“I agree with your grandfather. No fur coats until you’re much older.”

“But we’ll go shopping again, right? I love nice clothes.”

“We’ll go again tomorrow. The DA sent me a text saying that our meeting was cancelled.”

“Why? Did they figure out who killed my grandmother?”

“I don’t know.
