He didn’t quite swagger, but there was a little backbeat in his walk. She was glad she would get a chance to see Rich later on tonight. She had surprised herself by agreeing to stop by, but now she was glad. That last kiss had been full of promise. Billy came over to talk, and she asked him if he had found anyone else who saw what had happened. “Not really.” “I find it surprising that no one saw someone get stabbed at a street dance. Everyone was all crowded together.” “What’re you suggesting?” Billy asked. “I’m not sure. Often people are eager to tell what they saw. Was Jed Spitzler not well liked?” “Could be. Didn’t really know the guy myself.” “You feel like taking me over to the hospital? This guy’s kids are over there, and I’d really like to talk to them tonight while it’s all still fresh in their minds. Steve can stay here and keep on with the questioning.” “You’re the boss,” he said. “No, I’m not. I’m not even here in an official capacity.”
