So much for my persona as a macho fellow with no feelings. If it weren’t enough that I immediately felt a stab of … I’m not sure what it was whenever I saw Jazmin … I was now beginning to feel concern about the speed and direction of the police investigation into the death and theft.

Even though I was temporarily free, I still had to answer to a host of questions from the police. They ranged from a list of enemies I knew my ex-wife, Daphne, may have had to anyone who wanted to see me framed for her murder and the theft.

“I don’t know, sweetheart,” I answered. “There’s a part of me that feels as if they already have found the real killer.” I closed my eyes and squeezed her body tightly. I let out a staccato sigh.

“And that someone they found would be you,” she said almost as if it were fait accompli
