Goddard raised the file folder to cover his smile. "I'd be happy to listen to you. Are you waiving your right to an attorney?"

Ray shook his head. It was unfair, talk-or-go-to-jail blackmail. Blurting out the long Loraine-Norma-Tammy story probably would change nothing right now. If it took spending a night in jail for these people to understand their mistake, then he'd go along. The detective said he wasn't under arrest.

Ray had to ask one question, "What does Senator Towson have to do with this?"

Goddard gave him a puzzled look and passed him along to a police sergeant. "Test this guy's hands for GSR, before fingerprinting and save every bit of that bandage in an evidence bag. Bag all of his clothes and shoes, separate bags for everything, of course. I got to get back to the crime scene, if I can fight my way through the reporters." Goddard started to walk away then turned back grinning. "Check his alcohol level while you're at it. He's talking weird."
