“I have no idea how the accident will affect her memory. I’m not a doctor, but even the doctors don’t know. We’re all hoping against odds that she’ll be able to shed some light on Garth Hammerling.”

“Do we know for certain that she was traveling with Garth?”

“No, we don’t know that. But we found Mandy and she’s alive and maybe she can tell us something.”

“Amen to that,” Decker said. “I’ll talk to Mrs. Kowalski. When she hears the news, she’s going to want to go to Vegas. I’ll find out her schedule. You pick her up and take her to the hospital.”

“I can do that.”

“You and Scott work over the weekend. I’ll come relieve you on Monday. I want to be there when Mandy is able to speak.”

“Come down whenever you want. No shortage of hotels.” Marge thought a moment, then said, “Why are you working today? Isn’t it your birthday?”

“Actually, it’s tomorrow. And I’m going out with the entire brood to dinner. But I’ll probably be working during the day.” Decker brought her up-to-date on Roxanne Holly’s murder and her missing necklace. “There must be more than one necklace identical to the diamond R, so we’re looking through other strangulation cases, trying to find another piece of jewelry in Tinsley’s stash associated with a murder.”

Marge said, “So Tinsley’s right back up at the top of the list.”

“Absolutely. He was with Adrianna and Crystal at Garage on Sunday night. We’re still trying to get a timeline on him for the day of the murder.”

“Where is he now?”

“He’s walking around under twenty-four-hour surveillance. Kathy Blanc wasn’t happy about that. If she knew what we’ve discovered, she’d probably kill me. I’ll call you if I find anything else on Tinsley.”

“Likewise on Garth. Oh, I forgot to tell you. My phone will be off between eight and ten tonight. We’re going to see O.”

“The Cirque du Soleil show?”

“Yeah. Silver and Major, the cops helping us on the case, insisted we go to the show. Then we’re going out for dinner. But I’ll turn my phone back on when we eat.”

“Glad you’ve scheduled in R and R,” Decker said flatly.

“I suspect, Rabbi, that you’re being sarcastic,” Marge said. “But being the naive dolt that I am, I’m going to take your words at face value and simply say thank you.”
