CHAPTER NINE

Kalina stared open-mouthed as Jimmy repeated the information. She had no problem letting Chris think it was all Jimmy’s doing. After all, she’d said she would keep out of the investigation, not do their job for them.

“I understand. I’ll see you back at the station, Sir.” Jimmy ended the call and looked at Kalina. “Nadine’s lawyer boyfriend came back that night. Wonder why she didn’t say anything before?”

Kalina shrugged. “Maybe she didn’t know. If she really was drugged then she wouldn’t remember him coming in or out.”

Jimmy ran a hand over his hair. “Detective Harper wants me back at the station. Can I drop you somewhere?”

“The shop would be fine.” She really wanted him to take her to the motel but that would have looked suspicious. If Chris didn’t want Jimmy to pick up Adam from the motel for questioning, then Chris was likely getting the lawyer to the station under false pretenses. She might have some time to get to the motel first.

Five minutes later, Jimmy pulled up to the shop. AJ stood outside, arms crossed over his chest. He did not look happy. Kalina climbed out of the passenger side with the overnight bag in hand and waited for the squad car to pull away.

“Do you have any idea what time it is?” her nephew asked with mock annoyance.

“Yeah, yeah. Come on. You wanted to know what’s been going on; well, it’s time I filled you in. I’m going to need your help anyway.”

They headed inside and AJ flipped the front sign to ‘Closed’. He pointed to the bag but Kalina tossed it aside.

“An old friend of mine’s father died two days ago. It looks like it was murder and Nadine is the prime suspect. There was some bad blood between her and her father but I’m not sure about the whole story. We just found out someone else was there the night her father died. Chris is investigating.”

“What do you need from me?”

“I need you to look up how to test if a person was pushed or fell from a high altitude.”

“You mean the ‘Push Jump Fall’ test.”

Kalina furrowed her brow. “Where’d you learn that?”

AJ grinned. “Heroes.”

Kalina let out a soft laugh. “Of course. Now, I need you to look up how to test it and see if you can find a dummy we can use.”

“I know just where to look.”

“You can’t tell anyone what you need it for. Chris can’t find out we’re doing this.”

AJ nodded. “So while I’m doing this, what are you doing?”

‘I’m going to the motel and, hopefully, I can get Nadine to fill in some of the blanks about her past. It might be the only way we can figure out what really happened to her father.”

“You can count on me, Aunt K.”

She pulled her nephew into a brief, one-armed hug. “I knew I could. Now, call me when you’ve got everything. And remember—”

“I know. Don’t tell anyone what we’re doing.”

Kalina picked up the overnight bag and headed out across town. She supposed she was lucky that Ellesworth was small enough to only have one motel.
