âNo ring,â said Evon. They sat in her office. She had one shoe on a trash can as a footrest. âDidnât she tell us Paul wore a ring?â
He told her Georgiaâs version and she nodded. âSheâs right. She said Paul bought a ring like Cass. But youâd have thought she would have told us what became of it.â
Tim looked askance at her. No woman he knew was going to volunteer that a fella had kept her on the string three more years with a class ring instead of a diamond. Evon got his point.
âBesides,â Tim said, âshe probably didnât understand the significance. As loose as that investigation was, I donât think there was much in the papers about Ditaâs bruise pattern or what it meant.â
âSo Paul didnât wear a ring, and Cass did,â Evon said by way of recapitulation.
âRight. So it appears.â
âAnd Paulâs fingerprints arenât there, and Cassâs are.â
âRight.â
âI think the boss may want to think twice about opposing Paulâs motion to dismiss the lawsuit.â
âMaybe. There is one other thing.â Heâd been sitting on what Dickerman had told him about Cassâs print card from Hillcrest not matching the lifts from the crime scene. Tim had given Mo his word not to repeat that, but by now Dickerman had had the time to reconcile the discrepancy and Tim had heard no more about it. Nonetheless, at the outset, he warned Evon that Mo sometimes viewed things in his own way.
âThereâs a story about Mo, not sure itâs true, but somebodyâs sister swears she saw it happen. You know the light-rail, how you buy a ticket, purple inbound, white outbound? So Mo is headed out to the airport and he gets on with his white ticket and sticks it in the little ticket holder on the back of the seat in front of him. And he sees everybody else has got a purple ticket, and he actually turns to the lady beside him and says, âLook at all these idiots on the wrong train.ââ
Evon laughed hard. âThat canât be true,â she said.
âYou get the point.â He explained what Mo had concluded from looking at the photocopy of Cassâs prints at Hillcrest.
âThat canât be true either,â she said. âHow could it? He said in court that Paul doesnât match any of the lifts from the scene. So what is he saying now? Neither of them were there?â
Tim shrugged. He had absolutely no answer.
âWe never got Cassâs fingerprints, did we?â
âNever came close. Thatâs another weird thing. Supposedly even the neighbors donât see hide nor hair of Cass, but Georgia told me he came right to her door to read her out for making that commercial.â
âSo heâs not on vacation?â
âApparently not.â
Eventually, Tim asked how she was doing in her personal life, and she answered with a bitter little smile.
âI spent most of last night researching how to get an order of protection.â
He groaned.
âItâll be a long time before I go down this road again, Tim. I canât stand the disappointment.â She smiled ruefully and asked
