That was the last time I saw you alright. The you that was really

you. You changed after that.

Two weeks went by. I kept my head down, just like we had planned.

I ate room service the whole time. I only ever saw that nice kid

who brought me the meals. A native of Europa. Well, as native as

you can get I suppose.

I lied. It wasn't only him I saw. There was also that damn

insurance man, who brought along a police inspector.

It took him long enough to get to me. Seems like your husband had

lots of associates, Judy. I was at the bottom of the list. Still,

I didn't expect to be on any lists at all, so the visit shook me a

bit.

Turned out the bartender at the Sunset Grand tipped the inspector

off that we all had a little get-together right before your husband

took off on his final trip. I explained to the inspector that it

was a business meeting. He was pretty suspicious after I told him

my racket - insurance. But I smoothed it over pretty well. At

least, I thought I did.

The inspector wasn't part of the regular Cilix police force. He'd

been flown in from IO. Hired directly by the insurance company.

Makes sense, they were on the line for a pretty big payout. He was

tough, tougher than we were expecting.

He kept me talking for four hours straight. I held up well. Your

plan really did tie everything together.

We got away with it, just like you said we would.
