Chapitre 23: Chapter 23

INT. - REVEREND STERLING'S MANSION - AFTERNOON

Kinsey held back while Gerri did what she did best. Instead of joining her detective friend and Ray in Sterling's office, she lingered outside, near the small desk, waiting for Mary. Not because she couldn't stomach the interrogation. In fact, she would have enjoyed watching Gerri tear the guy down if he was guilty or involved. But because she knew the true source of information was coming toward her with a tray of coffee balanced in her hands.

Kinsey smiled and went to Mary, relieving her of the weight of her burden. The smell of coffee was so good, she was almost distracted. But, when Mary, her anxious face turned toward the office door, tried to move past Kinsey, she cut the woman off with her body, still smiling, catching Mary's full attention.

"They'll just be a few minutes," Kinsey said, setting the tray on the edge of Mary's desk. "Thank you so much for the coffee. That was kind of you."
