“What on earth is wrong with you?” Bowie whispered as he shoved his notepad into his pocket. “I expected you to be a little off after all these months, Jack, but don’t tell me you believe this ridiculous story. Doyle Fremont, one of the biggest money men in the country, murdered someone? Please.”
“I don’t know what I believe.” Other than Greta Renault was convinced of what she’d seen.
“So, you’re what? Going to humor her? Why? Because she’s a knockout?”
Jack didn’t appreciate the sarcasm or the accusation. “Because whether what she saw actually happened or not, she believes it did. Either way, she needs help, Bowie.”
“And you think you’re the one to give it to her?”
“Clearly, you aren’t,” Jack snapped before he followed Greta into the other room. He found her holding the front door open, eyes and jaw set as she intently stared at anything other than him. “Greta, I apologize—”
“Don’t.” She flinched, and try as he might, he couldn’t find a trace of the welcoming, bewitching woman who had let them into her home. “Just don’t. I made a mistake. I knew I shouldn’t have called. I shouldn’t...” She stopped, took a shuddering breath. “I shouldn’t have expected you to listen to me.”
“I did listen,” Jack tried again, but she inched the door closed. “Greta—”
“I did not imagine this.” She looked Jack square in the eyes, and he saw the hurt swirling in the blue depths. Hurt and disbelief and, surprisingly, anger. “I know what I saw, Detective. And if you aren’t going to do anything about it, I will.”
She closed the door in his face.
