“Do you want to talk to Danny because you think he witnessed something or because you think he may be involved?”
Devo, in an impressive bit of evasive cop-speak said, “It’s imperative that we speak to him as soon as possible. Time is always of the essence in these cases. If your brother saw something he shouldn’t have, he might be in danger.”
I had to hand it to Devo; it was a brilliant response. He’d handily avoided answering the question Allie had asked while simultaneously making her feel the urgent need of the situation. But Allie isn’t your average person and she’d been dealing with her brother for too long and under too many circumstances to be so easily manipulated.
“He just got home from the ER, after a supposed breakdown,” she said. “I don’t think now is the time to be asking him anything.” She jutted her chin at Devo in a manner that clearly communicated her commitment. “I wouldn’t want anything he might say to be taken out of context,” she concluded, arching one eyebrow.
Joel agreed. “Give the guy a break. He’s not even sure what’s real at this point. It’s not fair to be questioning him now.”
