Chapter 9

Bob didn’t look at all happy to have been called in for an interview, but he did show up on time. Colt asked him to have a seat in the conference room, and while he’d left me in his office, both doors were open, so I was able to see both men and hear what was being said.

“Let’s start off by walking through the events of Wednesday night,” Colt suggested. He seemed relaxed and casual and appeared to have all the time in the world.

“Isn’t this getting repetitive?” Bob asked, making it clear that he was not nearly as relaxed as the man who was asking the questions.

“Not at all.” Colt smiled. “Just start at the beginning.”

Initially, it looked as if Bob would resist, but eventually, he took a deep breath and began to speak. “Tank invited me to come to his house for a poker game. We’d played poker many times in the past, but after Train arrived in town and started crashing our get-togethers, I stopped coming around. The guy is, or I guess I should say was, a total moron. Worse than a moron, but given the nature of our surroundings, I will leave it at that.”

“Were you aware that Train would be attending the poker game that evening?” Colt asked.

“No. Tank assured me that he hadn’t been invited. I think Train found out about the game and crashed it. Tank looked as surprised as anyone when he walked in.”

“And why did you decide to stay when Train showed up?”

“Because Tank asked me to,” Bob answered. “Tank and I have been friends for a long time. Before Train came into the picture, we were very close. In fact, he is the one who probably had the most to do with my decision to leave the hospital and open my own practice.”

“You are a doctor?” Colt asked although I knew that he already knew that.

Bob nodded. “You know I’m a doctor. You even brought your niece in to see me when she had tonsillitis.”

Colt clicked his pen open and closed a few times in a relaxed and casual manner. “I do know you’re a doctor, but I need to ask these questions for the record.”

Bob huffed out a breath. “Okay, fine. I’m a doctor. Family practice. What else do you want to know? My blood type, dating profile, credit score?”

Colt ignored the man’s outburst. “So, to summarize your relationship with Tank, the two of you have been friends for a while.”

“Yes. I already said that.”

“And then Tank’s brother, Train, came to town and upset the relationship you’d previously enjoyed.”

“Basically, yes.” I was sure that Bob’s face was visibly red by this point. I could see that Colt’s strategy of repetition was working to throw Bob off his game. “Tank is great, but Train is, or, again, I guess I should say was, really annoying. He was self-centered and egotistical, and he seemed to believe that everything and everyone was put on the planet for his benefit. If you never had the displeasure of meeting the guy, you should consider yourself lucky.
