“Tim and I had a public blow out. I said some things that look bad after what happened.”
“You threatened him?”
“I did.”
“You didn’t say you were going to stab him to death with a butcher’s knife, did you?”
“No, nothing that bad. If he didn’t go and get himself murdered, it wouldn’t be that bad at all.”
“What did you say?”
“I said I wasn’t a person he wanted to mess with. I told him if he messes with the bull, he might get the horns. I didn’t really mean it…the fact is, I am exactly the kind of person people can mess with and I’m a long way from being a bull.”
“You think the police know about this?”
“I know they do. Before my lawyer came in and told them I wasn’t answering any more questions, the fat detective
brought it up.”
“That’s not good, but it’s all still circumstantial…except for the dress. Anything you want to tell me about that?”
“No, I’ve been straight with you on that one.”
“Good,” Margot said as she got up.
“Are you leaving?”
“I have some people to talk too. I’ll be back.”
Margot was at the door when Phoebe said her name.
“What?” Margot asked.
“Thank you,” Phoebe told her.
“You’re welcome, but I haven’t really done anything yet.”
“Yeah, but…you’re trying.”
Chapter 6
Margot was on her way to see Derek Helms when her phone rang. She had Bluetooth in her new Toyota Prius, so she was able to answer hands-free.
“What part of discreet don’t you understand, Margot, or should I call you Viuda Negra?”
“Who is this?”
“Harry.”
“Harry Lee?”
“Yeah.”
“How’d you get my number?”
“It wasn’t hard. You’re in business, aren’t you?”
He was right about her being in business, but since she partnered up with Shaw, all work calls came in through the office and then Shaw’s long-time secretary, Ms. Collins, routed the calls to the proper place. If Ms. Collins had routed the call, Margot would know.
