Thicker Than Water
“Colin and I said nothing for the longest time. We just stared down into the corridor and then at each other. “I really didn’t expect to find anything,” I said. Only in the desperate recesses of my mind had I been holding out hope that I would find something behind these walls.
“Me neither,” Colin said, “but it makes sense. All the noises that you’ve heard, and Stephanie has heard, and then never being able to find anything. The perp was disappearing down these stairs. By the time you or the pol...ice got upstairs, there was nothing here.”
“A ghost,” I said.
“Like a ghost.”
“And Sylvia,” I said. “The person at the foot of her bed.”
“Poor woman.”
“But wait. If Sylvia knew there was a secret stairwell, then she would have known how her assailant got in, and she would have known how the person at the foot of her bed got in. What would have been the point in hiring a private investigator? She would have just called you and told you to come over and watch the panel in the closet.”MoreLess
