Hot As Sin (2012)
“Emily asked.
“Let’s start with how you know Patrick.”
She tried not to tense up, but he began with the question she was least prepared to answer. She forced herself to meet his gaze and not look away while she told as much of the truth as possible. “He was assigned to me for a while.”
“You’re a witness.” It was a statement, not a question. He could have been conducting a military debriefing for all the emotion he showed in his face.
“Not anymore.”
“But you were.”
“Yeah. I was in the wrong place... at the wrong time. I’m in this mess because I saw a man put a gun in a trash can.”
“Explain.”
“It’s like corroborating evidence. I didn’t see him pull the trigger, but I can place him at the scene with the murder weapon in his hand. Afterward the marshals said it was one in a million. The hit man had one of those plastic guns you can get through X ray. The marshals told me the hit was supposed to be done in the men’s room; seems the victim always made a detour into the bathroom before boarding a plane.”MoreLess
