"Can you describe what happened when you left?" he asks.
"Seriously? I'm a suspect?" My concern starts to turn to anger.
"Just answer the question please." Detective Ray takes another drink of tea but keeps his eyes trained on my face.
I sigh. "I just walked out to my car, got in, and drove here."
"So no one can confirm what time you got home?" He frowns.
"No, I guess not." My stomach drops to my ankles. I have no alibi. But then, I hardly have any motive. I mean, wishing your competition was dead isn't a thing. Is it?
The detective finishes his tea and sets it on the table. "Thank you for your time and for the tea." He hands me a card. "Please call me if you have any thoughts. You aren't planning on leaving the area anytime soon, are you?"
Well, I am now…
"No," is all I say as I follow him to the door.
"I'll be in touch then, Miss Johnson." Detective Ray gives me a nod and leaves.
I close the door behind him and slump against it. I didn't kill anyone.
