Were suggesting nothing right now, Mr. Quinn, Jack said. But you were a doctor once, so I assume youre a fan of logic. In our search for answers, we discovered that it appears the victims are being selected because they are all on a transplant list. The three victims were all dealing with liver-related medical issues. At least one of them has been treated at the hospital you once worked for. During your troubles, you made it no secret that your wife was

Okay, yes, I get it. It makes sense that youd ask me. But it doesnt help me to like it.

Why did you run when you saw me there in front of you this morning? Rachel asked.

Honestly? Because you scared the shit out of me. I woke up with my head roaring and my stomach all jacked up from the night before. You woke me up and all of a sudden theres someone in my face. I freaked out and just ran. Im certainly not proud of it, but…well, as Im sure you can guess, there are many things about my recent past that Im not very proud of.

Can you give us proof of your whereabouts for the last three or four nights?

He chuckled and reacted, his head in his hands, one hand on either side of his head as if he were about to massage his temples. Sadly, yes. Well…except for three nights ago. I was at home but there isnt much proof.

What about the evenings, like around four or five? Rachel asked.

Yeah. Just about any day of the week, Im either at Spillmans, the Outback Steakhouse up the road, or another bar called Tullys Place. I start around five in the afternoon with dinner and most nights it lasts until at least nine or ten. He chuckled again, but it sounded like he might be on the verge of tears as he had to vocally admit how he spent his free time. And sadly, Ive been present and accounted for at every single one of those places this week.

What about around four thirty or five three days ago? Rachel asked, thinking of Bruce Webber. She figured that timeframe was more likely to trip him up. Where were you?

Three days ago? I was at Spillmans. Happy hour specials include highballs.

Anyone that could back that up?

For sure. I can give you the bartenders name and the names of at least three others.

How about the few nights between then and last night? Jack asked.

Yeah, like I said…all except the night I was just hanging out at home.
