The Last Death of Jack Harbin
“I’m standing in the living room of Jack’s house with Marybeth.
She gives a nervous squeak. “You know how people exaggerate. It wasn’t a fight. They just shoved each other a little bit.”
Dressed in jeans and a sleeveless blouse, Marybeth looks younger and more bright-eyed than I’ve seen her in a long time. You’d think with her favorite son dead, she’d be ravaged. But then I realize her eyes are too bright—glassy, in fact. I expect there are drugs involved in keeping her going.
“Did C...urtis actually try to throw you out?”
“He grabbed me by the arm. Left a bruise right here.” She encircles her left bicep with her right fingers, and I can see the faint bruise where he grabbed her. “I’m lucky Walter showed up when he did.”
Lucky, yes, but why had Dunn been here? He stuck awfully close to Jack after Bob died, and I assumed he was protecting Jack.MoreLess
