Chapter 45

Honestly, I just wanted to review what Myer Colt had shared with me a little more than an hour ago.

He lifted his head, seemed pale and looked sickly. “How much do you know?”

“Everything, I think.”

“What do you want from me if you know everything about my son’s death?”

“Confirmation,” I said.

He was stone cold in the chair, unmoving and distressed. His look stated that he was more zombie than a human, obviously confused and upset. “Ask me anything you want, Joe. I’ve hired you to do this job, and now I need to know what you’ve learned.”

I told him everything I knew about Evan Sting, including Dunny’s sexual interest in Evan, and how Dunny murdered the young man.

Benny listened closely to my every detail, perhaps disbelieving what knowledge I had gained that pertained to the crime against his youngest son. He told me, “You’re a very good private investigator.”

“It’s why you hired me.”

“You’ll be going after Dunny next, won’t you?”
