“It started over a year ago.”
“What do you know about the abandoned houses at the Basin Woods Development?”
“Nothing.”
“What do you mean nothing? You were there. You were lucky that my dog didn’t catch you and take you down.”
“I followed you. It’s not that hard, you know.”
“What do you know about the Basin Woods Development?”
“Nothing.”
“Now,” she said leaning forward. “I know you’ve had some involvement with the development. We know. Why don’t you tell us?”
He clenched his jaw tight fighting to give any information. “I worked with a demolition crew a few years back. We were hired by the original development company to tear out certain things from the houses.”
“Like what?” she pressed.
“There were some problems with the wiring in the kitchen and laundry areas. Me and a bunch of guys were hired temporarily to do the job.”
“Why?”
“There were some lawsuits and stuff with the state—I don’t know all—but I did the job and moved on, finally getting the gig at the hospital.”
Katie studied him, not sure if he was telling the truth. It was too convenient.
“I’m telling you the truth,” he snapped.
“How do you know Madeline Thomas?”
“Who? I don’t know her. Whoever told you I did is lying.”
“Calm down.”
“I don’t know anything…” He looked away.
“Do you know Tess Regan?”
“No. I told you I don’t know who those people are!”
“Are you working with the killer? Are you willing to be an accomplice? Just throw your life away.”
“It’s…”
“What, Bobby?”
“There’s just something weird going on at the hospital… I think whoever killed Amanda is watching me too.”
“Why?”
“What do you mean? I’m the guy no one ever notices, so people talk about stuff. I’m all over that hospital. There’s someone watching everyone, even me.”
“You think the person who killed Amanda is at the hospital?” she pushed.
He nodded.
“What else, Bobby?”
