#Chapter35

Hollis sat next to J.D. and across from Kacey at the Red Hook diner, in their familiar booth near the back.

Bad idea, bringing him into this, Hollis thought. A civilian. And a family member, no less.

Kacey had told J.D. everything, all the way up to their encounter with Valerie Griffin, and had just provided a recap of the battle with the estate staff.

J.D. sat, processing.

/"Look,/" Hollis said, /"I don't know how any of this is going to—/"

/"So the bodies are there, now?/" J.D. interrupted.

Hollis had monitored the police radio on the drive over: nothing had come through on high band—if anyone had heard the gunfire, apparently they hadn't reported it.

/"The bodies are probably still there, yeah,/" Hollis said.

J.D., who had been sitting next to the walkway, got up and headed for the door. /"Where the hell are you going?/" Kacey asked.
