Chapter 57

“Anything else you can think of that I should know?” Mike asked David.

“No.”

“All right. Thank you for your time. Would you please let Lydia know she’s next?”

David nodded as he got up. “Find the bastard who killed Tonio!”

“Believe me, I intend to,” Mike replied.

When Lydia came into the office and was seated, the first thing Mike asked her about was her accident with the trapdoor.

“It was stupid,” she replied tightly. “If I ever find out who didn’t lock it…Damn, I could have died. Okay, not died, maybe, but I could have been hurt a lot worse than I was.”

Mike nodded. “Is there anyone you can think of who might have wanted to harm you?”

“No. Why? Are you saying it wasn’t an accident?” Her eyes widened. “Like Tonio’s death wasn’t really an accident? Oh, my God.”
