“I dunno. I’m tired, Sergeant, I can’t think too clearly right now.”

“Did she tell you why she broke it off with you?”

“She said she’d gotten it out of her system, if you know what I mean.”

“I’m not sure I do know. Explain it to me.”

“Look, Sergeant, I wasn’t the first of her revenge fucks and I wasn’t the last.”

“How do you know about her revenge fucks?”

“’Cause she’d tell me whenever she picked up a guy that Garth didn’t know about.”

“Sounds like you two were good friends if she told you about her love life. Why do you think she confided in you?”

“I dunno. Maybe she thought I’d tell Garth and he’d get jealous.”

“Did you?”

“Hell, no. If I started saying things, I’d be on the chopping block.”

“You think Garth would get pissed at you even though he fooled around?”

“I guess on some level he cared about her. Otherwise, why would he cut his vacation short just to calm her down?”

“I don’t know, Aaron. Frankly, I’m wondering what might have happened if he didn’t calm her down.”

“I don’t know. The whole thing is weird.”

“Maybe the relationship had less to do with sex and more to do with Adrianna giving Garth money. How did you know that Adrianna was financing his excursions to Vegas?”

“I asked him about it…that he always had money for Vegas. He said she gave him spending cash.”

“And what did you say to that?”

“Something like sweet deal or some shit like that.”

“She worked as a nurse. Where’d she get money to give him?”

“Probably from her mom. Her parents have money.”

“Did she tell you that she got money from her mom?”

“She might have. The point is both of them always had enough cash to buy some drinks and shit and make a party. She loved to party.” His eyes moistened. “It’s horrible, thinking of her hanged to death. Who would do that?”

Marge sighed inwardly. It was a rhetorical question. Still, she could have given him a half-dozen answers and all of them would have been creepy.

“INTERESTING…OTIS being a contractor.” Decker thought a moment. “Is it relevant?”

Marge pulled out a chair and sat down, throwing her head back until she was looking at the ceiling. “I’ll check and see if he had anything to do with the Grossman project where Adrianna was found.”

Oliver said, “Contractors are guilty until proven innocent in my opinion.”

Decker said, “Speaking of which, have you gotten hold of Keith Wald and Chuck Tinsley?”

“I got hold of Wald,” Marge said. “We set something up. Tinsley hasn’t returned my call.” She turned to Oliver. “What does Reyburn do?”

“He’s a grip for WB studios in Burbank.”

“How’d he meet Garth?” Decker asked.
