Detective William P. Ahearn fingered the bullet-scarred wood of October Guinness’s kitchen door frame. This investigation just kept going from bad to worse.

He glanced over at the lowlife with long scraggly hair and ragged jeans who stood in the middle of the kitchen floor. Ambrose King, he said he was; played the sax at some tourist trap down in the Quarter. The guy might have called the cops, but he wasn’t exactly being cooperative.

“You say she contacted you? Where is she?”

The lowlife stuck his hands in the pockets of his jeans and looked blank. “She didn’t say. She just said she had to leave town for a few days.”

“In the middle of a murder investigation?”

Ambrose King rolled his shoulders in an exaggerated shrug. “She didn’t say nothing about that.”

Ahearn met his partner’s gaze. She raised her eyebrows and turned away to hide a half smile.

He walked back toward the living room, his gaze sweeping the ransacked house. “I see DVDs, but no DVD player or computer. What else do you think is missing?”

King ambled behind him. “Tobie has a laptop, but I think she took it in to get fixed last week. Her DVD player died a month or so ago. I don’t think she’s replaced it.”

Ahearn turned to give the guy a hard look.

King stared back at him. “What? What you thinking? That I lifted her stuff? Man, you’d have to be nuts to want any of Tobie’s electrical shit. It’s like she generates this electromagnetic field or something. If she walks up next to you when you’re on your computer, it freezes. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Ahearn pushed out his breath through pursed lips and swung back to the kitchen. “Let’s get that bullet to ballistics,” he said to Trish. “See what they can tell us about it. And I think maybe we ought to find this Guinness woman. She has some serious explaining to do.”
