That was the last time I saw you alright. The you that was really you. You changed after that. Two weeks went by. I kept my head down, just like we had planned. I ate room service the whole time. I only ever saw that nice kid who brought me the meals. A native of Europa. Well, as native as you can get I suppose. I lied. It wasn't only him I saw. There was also that damn insurance man, who brought along a police inspector. It took him long enough to get to me. Seems like your husband had lots of associates, Judy. I was at the bottom of the list. Still, I didn't expect to be on any lists at all, so the visit shook me a bit. Turned out the bartender at the Sunset Grand tipped the inspector off that we all had a little get-together right before your husband took off on his final trip. I explained to the inspector that it was a business meeting. He was pretty suspicious after I told him my racket - insurance. But I smoothed it over pretty well. At least, I thought I did. The inspector wasn't part of the regular Cilix police force. He'd been flown in from IO. Hired directly by the insurance company. Makes sense, they were on the line for a pretty big payout. He was tough, tougher than we were expecting. He kept me talking for four hours straight. I held up well. Your plan really did tie everything together. We got away with it, just like you said we would.
