Vicky looked up. “Then you’re not in a relationship?” she asked simply to make sure she understood it right.

Maggie chuckled. “No. I’m not a lesbian. Her primary relationship is with Michael Gauchet who teaches martial arts for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. I believe you met her.”

“The RCMP?” Vicky let out a gust of breath. “Incredible. I never suspected any of this.”

“Michael was hired to sharpen Cameron’s M.A. skills. That is how they met.”

Vicky tried to think through all of this new information. “Cameron volunteeredto commit a felony? She really ruined her reputation for this?”

“Yes,” was all Maggie said.

“And no one else knows? Not your secretary or any members of her family?”

“No. No one else.”

Vicky sat there shaking her head.

“Where is she today?” she finally asked.
