Decker said, “You know, Margie, dead bodies aren’t easy to maneuver. Drowning the guy, then dragging him into a car and up to his office…shooting him and tossing the place. That’s a lot of physical exertion for one little woman.”

“My thoughts to a tee. She must have had help, Pete. Unfortunately, the police can’t finger an accessory.”

“An accessory before the fact,” Decker said. “Someone had to have helped her with the drowning. She couldn’t have taken down a grown man by herself.”

“Unless the guy was drugged.”

“Anything in the blood?”

“Sturgis didn’t say anything so I assume the tests were negative. Unless the guy was pumped with some rare poison that didn’t show up in a normal chemical profile.”

“Honey had help,” Decker stated as fact.

“Probably. Could have been a member of her community. Maybe even one of her kids…the teenaged boy.” Marge was quiet for a moment. “Didn’t you tell me that the kids looked like abused children?”

“I was thinking out loud, but the signs are there.” Decker paused. “So they think Honey drowned him, then shot him in a panic to make it look like a robbery. Something’s missing, Marge.”

“Agreed. So all you have to do, Rabbi, is find the woman and ask her a few questions. Shouldn’t be too hard. Israel’s a very small country. I know because I looked at a map.”

Decker laughed. “It’s bigger in the flesh, Dunn. I’ll ask Rina if she has any ideas.”

If I can find her!

Marge said, “Department said as long as they paid your transatlantic way for the Yalom thing, you should look into Klein, too. Davidson was very excited about the latest developments. He’s going to ask Manhattan to kick in for some of your overseas expenses since you’re working on their case.”

“Our Loo likes things fiscally sound.”

“Our Loo’s a jerk.”

“Has he been giving you a hard time?”

“Not really. Simply because I’ve been producing.” Marge took a breath. “Are you ready?”

“Yep.”

“We finally found the airline tickets for the Yalom boys. They took a flight from LA to Vancouver. Another one from Vancouver to Toronto. Then a third from Toronto to Israel. We finally have confirmation that the boys are in Israel.”

“I’m looking for them as we speak. Nothing so far. But I’ve only been here a day. Anything else?”

“Yep. I’ve been doing a little research on our friend Katie Milligan.”

Decker felt himself gripping the receiver. He tried to quell a rush of anxiety, but it was a lost cause. “What?”

There was a moment of silence. “Are you okay, Pete?”

“Yeah, I’m fine. What about Milligan?”
