“Don’t have much of a memory, do you?” Hawks sneers.

“I like to keep my mind occupied with more interesting things than the

minutia of my schedule and the time people leave parties.”

“What’s interesting to you?” Hawks asks, his jaw rigid, his hand still resting

against the breast pocket of his jacket.

“I’m curious why you’re talking to me, and not to Shaw.”

“You think he attacked Mara? And killed her roommate?”

“That’s what Mara says.”

“You believe her.”

“She’s very perceptive.”

So is this cop. She was right about that.

Hawks knows something is fucked up here. He can sense the links between

our strange trio, but he can’t conceptualize what they mean.

He has no evidence—I didn’t leave so much as a fingerprint at the tenements.

I’m sure Shaw was even more careful.

How infuriating, to have to work inside the bounds of the law. Your hands

always tied by rules and regulations. Only one side playing fair.

I see the strain on Hawks’ face. His impotent anger.

He’s been around enough criminals to know that I’m no law-abiding citizen.

But that’s true of most of the wealthy elite in this city. We all flout the rules

for our benefit. He can’t decide if I’m just another rich prick, or the killer he

seeks.

I’ve already satisfied myself that Hawks has nothing. No evidence against

me, nothing but suspicion.

Hawks takes a breath, steadying himself. Getting ready for one last push.

He leans forward, his voice low and steady.

“Was Erin perceptive? Would she have warned Mara about you?”
