Hunter, I’m sorry I forgot to tell you this earlier, but I’m going on some interviews with Chad this morning. Would you mind going into the office and checking on things?”
“I thought Skylar was coming in this morning,” he said.
“She is, but there might be some client stuff you need to handle personally. I should be in later this afternoon and I promise to call you before then,” she said, as she gave him a special look with her magnificent eyes.
“Yeah, yeah,” he grinned. “I’ll go in and check on things.”
Eve smiled brilliantly at him as she reached over and gave him a quick kiss.
“You’re so wonderful,” she exclaimed. “Have I told you that lately?”
“I can’t remember if you have or not, but I never get tired of hearing it.”
“Aw, geez,” Chad moaned. “I don’t need to hear this! Do you have everything you need, Eve?”
Eve and Hunter laughed as she turned back to Chad.
“Yeah, I think I’ve gotten all I can for today. Is it okay to kind of leave the door open for a few more days? Just in case something else comes up?”
“I think so, but not for long after that because the landlord wants the house released back to him so he can get it ready to rent out again.”
“I can’t imagine that he’s going to have an easy time of renting it any time soon,” Hunter said. “Most people usually have issues with living in a house where a death has taken place.”
“True story,” Chad commented. “It makes it even harder because the landlord is required to tell prospective renters the truth about things, too. Okay, let’s get out of here and lock up.”
CHAPTER TWELVE
BACK OUTSIDE, Eve and Hunter enjoyed one more lingering kiss goodbye before he got into his car to head to The Agency and she joined Chad in his sedan. He gave her a teasing grin as he started the car.
“So, I’m going out on a limb here and assume that you and Hunter got things all straightened out.”
“Yes, we did,” Eve said primly. “And you can go back to minding your own business. Now who are we going to be talking with first?”
Chad burst out into full blown laughter, shaking his head as he pulled away from the curb. Then he sobered.
“Well, we’ve already spoken to the ex-boyfriend, who has an ironclad alibi. He really was shocked to hear about Sara’s death and was actually pretty broken up about it. Her sister, Melanie, didn’t seem to know a whole lot about Sara’s life lately. I guess they had been estranged for a while and hadn’t had a lot of contact until recently. They had been talking again and were on the way to fixing things. Now there’s a woman who is really upset. She was just starting to get her sister back in her life and now this happens.”
“Sara had a boyfriend?” Eve asked.
“Had being the operative word, but yeah. His name is Bryan Keaton. But they broke up several months ago. Seems he was cheating on her and got caught with his hand in the cookie jar, so to speak. She threw him out and they hadn’t spoken since. I guess he feels guilty now over what happened between them.”
“As he well should,” Eve commented. “Are you sure he wasn’t just acting?”
“Yeah, we checked his alibi and it’s solid,” Chad gave an abrupt laugh. “He’s not even with the woman Sara caught him with anymore. I almost felt sorry for him. He kept saying over and over again that Sara was the best thing that had ever happened to him.”
“I guess he should have thought about that before he unzipped his pants, huh?” Eve said sarcastically.
“Anyway, our first stop is to talk to her best friend. Name’s Danette Landers. Melanie and Bryan both said that if Sara had told anyone about any issues in her life, it would have been Danette.”
“You know, I think I remember her,” Eve said slowly. “She was around when Sara and I hung out back in college. Kind of quiet, but really sweet. I guess she and Sara got close after I left school. I’m glad Sara had someone to
