Leah’s first day back at work was complete chaos. One of the weddings scheduled to happen in a few days was delayed due to venue issues. The bride and groom’s parents had a falling out over the venue already booked.

The bride asked for the best hotel in the city and her fiancé had agreed. Now she learned that the groom’s father and the owner of the hotel were involved in a bitter feud. The wedding was three days away and the booking was paid for in advance. How would she find another venue on such short notice?

“Bridget?” she called her assistant into her office. “Take Cara and Mike off their respective tasks and have them call every potential venue in the city.”

“Right away,” Bridget said, rushing through the door.

“Bridget.” Her friend stopped and turned. “Call the city council about the use of the park. I will see if the Cali Mall Plaza is available.”

“Cali Mall?”

“Yes, the area at the fountain is beautiful at night.” Her office line buzzed and she answered. “Hello.”

It was Cara. “There’s a Detective Lawson here to see you, Miss Brooks.”

“Thank you. Please send him in,” she replied, wondering what that was about.

“I’ll get right to that venue hunting now,” Bridget said as she exited the office.

She stood as the man entered the room. He was about mid-forties, a slightly rounded belly and sharp eyes. His eyes traveled around the room before landing on her. She gave her best smile and indicated a chair.

“How can I be of assistance, officer?” she asked.

“I’m the detective in charge of Quinn Harrison’s case. You are acquainted with Mr. Harrison, I presume?”

Oh crap. Leah inwardly groaned. The police found her. She had hoped they wouldn’t need her statement. That had been a silly notion since she was likely the only witness they had. She resolved herself to the situation and spoke calmly to the man.

“We’ve only met once, after the incident. Before that, I never met him.”

“Can you tell me in your own words what happened that night?” He asked. At her questioning stare, he added. “We have it on CCTV, but we need a statement from you, the witness.”

“I never saw anything. When I got to the garage, he was lying on the ground,” she paused as she recollected that night. “There was a lot of blood. I was so scared, that the person who did it might return.”

“I’m sorry to put you through this Miss, but it is procedure,” Lawson replied. “Was there anything you noticed about the surroundings?”

“It was strange, that the security guard didn’t check in once while I waited for the ambulance.”

Lawson looked at her intently. She could not read his expression. This would be one of the first things the police would check … wouldn’t it? Wouldn’t they consult the security personnel first after an incident such as this?

“You may be on to something,” he said. “When you met Mr. Harrison, did he say anything to you about who might have done this?”

Leah was a little bewildered about the question.
