Chapter 122

“So he follows Jon and kills him? Why?” Sage asked.

“An accident,” Gene replied. “He was only going to knock him out so he could get his keys and search his apartment for the computer, but he hit him too hard.”

“All this is great in theory, but it doesn’t prove which one of them killed me,” Jon said.

“Let me see something,” Brody said, booting up the laptop. He opened the file with Mike’s murder reports and ran a search. “That’s what I remembered. There’s nothing in here about Mike, or anyone, interviewing other people who worked for Ogden Reed. If they did, they didn’t learn anything worth recording.”

“Why would it matter?” Sage asked.

“Because there’s a slim possibility that Reed might have said something to one of his cronies about being pissed that Irwin had taken out Jon and Grant, which wouldn’t have been good for business since it put Irwin on the police radar.”

“Which is why he killed Irwin,” Jon said.
