Chapter Twenty

“What is it?” Ellen whispered, afraid if she spoke too loudly this nightmare would indeed be real.

“A listening device. In my chandelier.”

She must’ve looked at him as if he’d lost his mind because he said, “Someone dragged the chair away from the table, which I heard. Why else climb up there except to put something on my light fixture?”

“The police could’ve moved it.”

“Sure,” he replied, “but you’re forgetting the sound. I heard someone dragging the chair along the floor. The guy probably had shoes on too.” Gabriel scowled. “Let’s check.”

“You going to search for the device?”

“I have to. If I show it to Morris, it’ll show I didn’t kill Katrina.” His expression grew thoughtful, and he said, “I’m not sure I’d want to tell him yet though.”

“We have to. He should know what’s going on. At least, you need to rule out the police put it there.” She’d grown tired of playing detective. They needed to let the professionals take over. Gabriel seemed to be enjoying this way too much, but she had no desire to play amateur sleuth. “Whatever’s going on, let the police handle it, especially if you’re bugged.”

“The police only started investigating me this morning, and they’d have to go through legal channels to allow them to do place a bug. Let’s prove first it’s there.” He led her back into the apartment and to the dining chair in question. He covered his hands with his shirtsleeves and dragged the chair away from the table. Bending close to the padded seat, he examined it for a moment before he stood up again. Silently, he pointed to a faint grey scuff on the cushion.

In his stocking feet, he climbed on the chair and searched the light fixture. After a few minutes, his gaze met Ellen’s, and he signalled her a thumbs-up.

He’d located the listening device.

Oh my God. What if the killer heard something to make him think we’re onto him? He’ll come after us. She didn’t say any of that aloud but turned an expression of agony to Gabriel.
