“She is not happy with you,” Tyler said, grinning.
“Not my problem. She should know better than to expect me to say anything just because we work together.” Not quite true. My boss would probably read me the riot act in the morning for not calling in as soon as I knew about the murder, and for avoiding her questions. But as I said, in this case, my friends come before my job. Now more than ever if Jake’s murder really wasn’t the result of his surprising a burglar. 2
My boss didn’t read me the riot act when I got to work Tuesday morning. Only because they knew about the murder by the time I arrived home last night, according to him. He admitted he wasn’t happy I wouldn’t tell Ella Field anything during her interview, but left it at that.
