After making sure everyone had their jobs sorted out for the day, Gillian left Mike in charge while she went to check on Angelina. The girl had been released from hospital and Mrs. Morales had called with an update the evening before. According to her mother Angelina was feeling fine and wanted to return to work. Gillian had her doubts about that, but she promised to stop by in the morning and talk with the girl.

The Morales’ lived in a small frame house in Haltom City. The neighborhood had a large Mexican American community and it was evident from the array of get well cards covering the hall table that the family was well liked and being given lots of support.

“She’s in the family room, if you want to go right back,” said Mrs. Morales

“Thanks.” Gillian smiled at Mrs. Morales and then headed down the hall to find Angelina.

“You’re looking a lot better than the last time I saw you.” Gillian bent to give the girl a hug.

“I’m feeling good.” Angelina hugged Gillian back and her smile supported her words.

“So what’s this I hear about you wanting to come back to work already?”

“Oh, please.” Angelina put her finger to her lips and whispered. “You’ve got to let me come back to work. Mama is driving me crazy. She won’t let me out of her sight for five minutes.”

Gillian chuckled and lowered her voice. “She’s still frightened. It was very scary for her—for all of us, but especially for your mother.”

“I know, and I love her to death, but please, she’s suffocating me, I really, really need to come back to work.”

“Okay. Let’s give it the weekend. Let you get your full strength back, and you can come back to work on Monday. Is that a deal?”

“Oh yes. Thank you so much.” Angelina’s face lit up in a brilliant smile. “I’m missing everyone. It’s bad enough thinking about Larry, but not being able to see my friends is so hard. I’ve talked to Mike and Robin on the phone, but it’s not the same. I need to be back there working with them. We all need each other right now.”

“I understand. We’ll get it worked out. I’ll talk to your mom before I leave. I do have a couple more questions. Maybe now that you’ve had time to think about things, and you’re feeling better you could help me recreate what happened that day. Between the two of us we might be able to come up with something that doesn’t quite fit.”

“I have thought about it—a lot. I’ve gone over and over things trying to remember anything that Sam or Larry might have said that could have resulted in something like this. I don’t know. I didn’t like Sam. There was something creepy about him, but I never thought of him as a criminal, never mind a murderer.”

Angelina’s face crumpled and, suspecting imminent tears, Gillian squeezed her hand and spoke softly. “We know that honey. No one expected this.
