Gray's Story

"You—" Gray sputtered, entirely at a loss. "Why are you telling me this?"

Mandy smiled softly at him. "Oh, I don't know. Clearing the air, I guess? You were unfinished business for a very long time. Tell me, what have you been up to the past thirty-eight years? I want the whole truth and nothing but the truth."

That was a lawyer line. Gray hadn't gone to trial for Lacy's murder but knew enough about the legal world to be aware that those words were part of the oath you made before you testified. Had she been arrested before and gone to trial or was this a coincidence?

"I went to MIT," he began uneasily.

He had never told anyone the whole truth about his life. The basics should suffice, right?
