ОглавлениеAlex heard something,
a muffled cough-gasp that echoed
from across the room. The closet.
He slowly crossed the room, then whipped the door open. He reached up, pulled the light chain and spotted a woman cowering behind a stack of boxes. Her face was buried in arms folded across her knees.
“Miss?” He crouched in front of her. “It’s okay, I’m Detective Alex Donovan.”
She didn’t look up.
Alex spotted a cell phone clenched in her hand. She must have made the 9-1-1 call.
“Are you a friend of Edward Lange?”
A negative head shake.
“Do you work for him?”
She nodded affirmative.
“Were you here when he was attacked?”
She nodded yes. He wanted to tell her it was going to be okay, but he wasn’t one to make promises he couldn’t keep. If she was hiding in here, that meant she might have seen or heard something that could help them find the killer—and consequently put her life in danger.
