I walked Daniel to the garage, where he’d parked his maroon Volvo. I’d been imagining the car for so long that it was impossible to believe it was in front of me, and that its owner wasn’t homicidal.

“Nice car,” I told him.

Daniel shrugged. “It runs great.”

“And you lent it to Neil that night?”

“Yes, his car was in the shop. He told me he had a meeting to go to, I assume with your brother. And by the way, he had a bandage on his forehead and told me he hit it on the countertop when he bent over. So we had a quick lunch, and I followed him to the shop and he dropped off his car. It wouldn’t start from time to time. Then he drove me to the station, and I took the train back to Philly.”

“And the next day?”

“We swapped. I took the train, we went to the shop, he got his car, and I drove back to the city. We were going to have dinner in town, but I was busy.”

“And that night, he drove to the park.”

“Yes.” Daniel’s lower lip began to buckle. “He was scared, alone, and desperate.”

“Come here, pal,” I said, giving him a hug.
