Chapter Twenty-One
Dennis Marsh worked in the Edward Building in the Denver Tech Center, an imposing, fifteen-story office structure with black reflective windows off Belleview Avenue and I-25. I exited the highway and meandered my way through a complex maze of streets to Prentice. I parked in an underground covered garage and walked into the building, then around a corner to the lobby. Pitzker Accounting was on the fifth floor, and I took the elevator. I walked through glass doors and was greeted by a young woman with a perky smile. I asked to speak to Dennisâs supervisor, and she shook her head.
âIâll just get Dennis for you,â she said pleasantly, not seeming to notice my badge. Before I could say anything, she picked up a desk phone and made a quick call. When she hung up, she pointed to chairs near the door. âHe said he has to make a phone call, and then heâll be up.â
I thanked her and sat in one of the chairs. I perused a magazine and was just picking up another when a man with brown hair and brown eyes walked into the lobby. He was clean-shaven and good-looking, but not strikingly so, just as Amyâs friend Jenna Ordway had said. He might find that insulting, but he looked like a lot of other men.
I stood as he walked up to me. âIâm Dennis Marsh.â He reached out a hand. âWhat can I help you with?â
I smiled. âIâm Detective Sarah Spillman with Denver Homicide. Iâm following up on an investigation, and I wonder if I could take a few minutes of your time?â
His smile vanished, replaced by an uneasy look. He glanced to the receptionist, and she was looking at both of us.
âSure,â he said. âWhy donât you come to my office.â
He spun around, his back stiff. I followed him down a hallway and around the corner to an office with windows that faced a parking lot. He sat down at his desk and I took a seat across from him. He ran a hand over his dark slacks, then adjusted his shirtsleeve. He sat back uneasily in his chair and looked at me. Then he held up his hands.
âWhat can I help you with?â
I glanced around the office, a half-shelf against the wall, the pictures on his desk. A trace of his cologne in the air. âI hope Iâm not catching you at an inconvenient time.â
He shook his head. âI have a few minutes.â
âI appreciate that. Do you know a woman named Amy Babbitt?â
He nodded. âYes, I met her last Sunday night. I canât say that I know her very well. We only spent a night together. Whatâs this about?â
âAmy is dead.â I watched his reaction.
His face scrunched up. âOh my God. What happened?â
âWeâre trying to determine the exact circumstances of her death, and we have to look into everything.â
âGosh, thatâs terrible.â He glanced out the window. âShe seemed ⦠Iâd only seen her that night. This is just so weird.â
I stared him down. âAre you married?â
He shook his head.
