“We never asked. Who sent you to the hospital that night?” Logan said.
“The WPD needed someone to interview any of Nettie’s relatives or friends who showed up. See if they had any idea who the attacker might be. I volunteered to do it because I knew her. Since the department is so mired down in the drug case they’re working, they accepted my assistance.” He took a deep breath. “I talked to Nettie’s sister-in-law when she arrived. Nice woman. She had no idea who might have done it. She did mention that Willow had some strange ideas, but she never mentioned anyone else Nettie knew.”
“Well, I’m glad you were there,” Harrison said. “Right now you’re our best shot to find out who killed Nettie in that hospital. Wait until after Gedrose shows up before you leave, though. Seeing him in person might help you remember something. Special Agent Thompson will take you to the hotel so you can get your things and then he’ll drive you to the airport.”
“And, Mike, you’re sure you can’t recall anything else that might help?” Alex asked. “Something we missed?”
“No. Like I said, I saw a few doctors go into the ICU. That nurse in charge, Ruth, let me go back to Nettie’s room a couple of times, but I saw only two doctors enter it. Both times I was on my way back to the front desk and just turned around when I heard footsteps. One was the doc who told us Nettie had died. I only saw the side of the other one’s face. To be honest, I don’t remember seeing him leave. I think I was getting coffee.” He put his head down and was quiet for a moment. “He was tall. Maybe six feet? Dark hair. I ... I think he wore glasses.” He closed his eyes for several seconds. “I’m sorry,” he said when he opened his eyes. “That’s all I can remember.”
“Thanks, Mike,” Alex said. “Just do your best and don’t blame yourself for anything.”
“I just wish I could do more.”
Harrison sighed. “We need a break. We’ve got to find Walker quick.” He looked around the table. “Before a lot of people end up dead.”
