We left Lucas sitting with James, the drunken man now passed out and snoring on his folded arms, the table before him shaking slightly as he snored in his inebriated stupor.
"I'll make sure he's okay," Lucas told us. "I'm sorry about this."
"You do realize he's our number one suspect." Crew didn't pull punches, did he?
But Lucas wasn't surprised while my mind still churned with possibilities. "I worried as much," he said. "And I have to admit when Mason died, it was my first thought." He seemed genuinely troubled by that. "Which makes me exactly the kind of man James thinks I am, I suppose."
I followed Crew and Dad toward the doors to the dining room, keeping up with their long strides, Petunia grunting her complaint we were moving again while Dad said, "Security footage?" and Crew grunted his agreement.
