I took a seat on the bench next to Jason, but Wendi remained standing. Actually, she paced. Her twitchy demeanor reminded me of a guy I knew in college who used to chug Red Bull and chase it with a shot of espresso before he’d go in to take a final. I was pretty sure he never got a gold star for penmanship.

“Okay,” she said. “Let’s start at the beginning. How much do you know about what happened Tuesday night? I mean, do you know how your brother wound up in the canal?”

“We were just talking about that,” I said. I looked over at Jason to see if he wanted to weigh in, but he looked content with me doing the heavy lifting. “As near as we can tell, he met with a business associate at the Waikiki Yacht Club and later he fell in the water. The Yacht Club’s right at the mouth of the Ala Wai Canal, you know.”

“Yes, I know. Was it accidental, or do the police suspect foul play?”

“I don’t even know if the police have weighed in on this.” I looked over at Jason. “Did you hear anything?”

Jason rocked back and forth, the heels of his hands digging into his thighs. After a long moment of silence, he looked up. “You know, I need to get going. I start work at four.”

Wendi checked her watch. “That’s two hours from now.”

“Yeah, but I need to shower and everything.”

He got up and sprinted toward the glass door like a kid being let out for recess.

“What’s his story?” said Wendi.

“He’s Stu’s best friend from way back. I think he’s worried about him and he doesn’t want to talk about it.”

“Maybe,” she said. “But I’ve been doing this a long time. It always seems that the ones who have nothing to say are usually the ones with the most to hide.”
