Excerpt
“We're
not interested in where you attended undergraduate school or received your
medical training. That, along with where you did your internship, residency,
and fellowship are all a matter of public record. What we need to know is why
your personal life is such a public mess. Also, I'm not going to mislead you
and say we don't need details; that your private life is your own business.
Because that's not true, we want all the salacious details so we can figure out what the police will assign as the
means, motive, and opportunity. Because
believe me, a jury will convict you just as easily on circumstantial evidence
as direct,” she said pointing her finger at
him.
He
looked over at me as if he could see right through my clothes. I returned the
stare.
“Yes,
my behavior can be bad. I tire of things quickly and am easily bored,” Dr.
Blackwell offered.
“So,
are you stating that you have had, shall we say several extramarital
relationships?” Dalia asked.
“Yes.”
“Was
Marsha Anderson one of the women we could add to that category?”
“Yes.”
“Ongoing
or over?” Dalia asked, waiting to record his response.
He
looked at me, glanced down at my crossed legs and lingered there too long. If
he was trying to throw me off my game, he had the wrong person. Many a morning
I'd sit in the jail where a room full of men were meeting with their lawyers
and had to deflect lascivious looks and catcalls.
“That
is a question I can answer in the affirmative. It is over,” Dr. Blackwell stated with an emphasis on the last word.
“Why
are you so sure?” Dalia asked.
“Because
she's dead,” he said. He raised an eyebrow and shrugged.
Pretty
damn cold and detached bastard. I can't imagine Dr. Blackwell would be much of
a giving lover. Hmm. But he sure was good to look at.
“If
she wasn't dead, would the affair have continued?” Dalia inquired with a note
of irritation. I could tell she didn't
appreciate the word games he was playing.
“The
affair? Not Likely. I was ready to move on,” he answered with a tone of
boredom. “Now, ladies, to quote your investigator, let's cut to the chase. I
didn't kill Marsha, and therefore I don't fear sitting through another police
interview. Can they assassinate my character? Yes. Might it be relevant in a
trial? I don't see how as I've had dozens of affairs and none wound up dead.
So, what's my motive?” he asked engaging me with the question.
