Obtaining a
copy of Phillip Dearborne’s will was not difficult in the least. Each charity that he had willed money to
possessed a copy of it. Each copy was
the same as the next – there were no discrepancies and I know of no charity
that would commit a murder to help their organization. I was back at square one and each time that
Mrs. Wintergrace passed through my door, it was with a heavy heart that I had
to tell her that there was no news.She had
come to my office at the exact same time for several days – I had a nagging
feeling that she did not come solely for news of her father…I believe that it
was a time of day when she needed some form of freedom from her home. I had noticed other bruises on her, which
she tried to conceal without much luck.
Despite this fact, and my lack of news for her, part of me looked
forward to her visits.I sat
behind my desk at eleven thirty, waiting for the dark beauty to grace my
doorway…she did not arrive. Mr.
Wintergrace appeared in her place…“Are you
the one who my wife has been coming to?” the man asked.Unaware of
who he was – at first – I said, “That would depend, sir, on who your wife is.”“Victoria
Wintergrace. I know she’s been asking
about her father. He has run off with a
woman, Constable Crane, there is no need for an investigation.”The man
stood several inches taller than me and, doing my research, I learned that he
was a prominent lawyer in the city.
“Mr. Wintergrace, if your wife believes otherwise, she…”His face
grew red. “She is a foolish woman who
would rather believe her father dead than admit that he ran off with a harlot.”“Mr.
Wintergrace…”“If she
ever shows up here again, it shall be against my wishes. You will tell her that you are no longer
able to waste your time on a murder that did not occur.”“That’s not
exactly the truth…” The man lunged at
me, grabbing my neck and holding me an inch off of the ground.“That is
what you will say, Constable.” He
dropped me, my throat burning. “Are we
clear?”“Y…yes, Mr.
Wintergrace.”“Good.” He turned and left without another word.
“Jonathan?” My young ward appeared in my doorway.
“Yes sir?”
“I…I feel
the need to go out and clear my head for a bit. Should anyone need me…”“I will ask
them to come back later, sir.”“Thank
you.” I left my office and was more
than relieved when the autumn air invaded my senses. My head was spinning, thoughts of Victoria as well as her ogre of
a husband dominating my thoughts. I
wandered without paying much attention to where I was going – I have since
learned not to do that, for as I wandered…I stumbled down a flight of
steps. Waiting for me at the bottom was
a body – or what I at first took to be a body.- You need to be logged in to leave a review for this story.You need to be logged in to leave a review for this story.
