Chapter 223: Follow My Lead

An older woman with long hair bordering between blonde and white opens the door. She wears a velvet jumpsuit, but not the kind you find on people who are retired in Florida. She's more of what you'd expect on a housewife with too much money on her hands and no fashion sense. Her ears and neck are covered in gold and if not for the small lines creasing her forehead and around her neck, I'd probably put her at my age.

"Detective Adams. How good to see you again."

Ben smiles. "Mrs. Rostelli, I have a couple of quick questions for you today. This is my associate Amanda." He gestures in my direction and I smile, nodding my head twice. Hopefully that's to his lead.

"You best stay outside. No offense, but I don't want to look cozy with the police."

Ben lifts an eyebrow putting this entire exchange into the curious category. "Do you want to find out who shot your son?"
