Corbett will have to return to Utah to face murder charges,” Ray Winfield warned, as we spoke over the phone the next morning. “We can get a Utah attorney as an assist once she gets up there.” “How long can you stall for?” I noticed out of the corner of my eye that Jimmy paid close attention to my side of the conversation. A pause. Then some throat-clearing. “A couple of weeks if we’re lucky. You know, Ms. Jones, the Utah officials appear pretty confident about their case, which gives me some concern. Just how much do you know about Ms. Corbett’s movements that night?” Damned little, I realized. I thought back to that night at the motel and Esther’s oddly prescient question, “Solomon was shot?” True, this was the twenty-first century and many unanticipated deaths arrived by gunshot, but still, there had been absolutely no surprise in Esther’s eyes at the news of Prophet Solomon’s death. Even Rebecca, in all her panic, noticed it.
