Chapitre 38: Chapter 38

PIERCE

"Is that so?" Katy asked the extremely pregnant woman while shooting me an I-told-you-so look. I didn’t know what she thought she’d told me. If anything, it meant the pregnant lady killed Chip and I doubted she waddled her way through the reunion and shot someone with no one noticing.

"I’m Katy and live in Pelican Bay. Trust me. I understand not being sad about seeing someone dead." She flashed me another look letting me know her comment most certainly was about me.

"Ashley," she replied and then her face fell. "I didn’t kill Chip if that’s what you’re here about. I won’t cry at his funeral, but I didn’t off him."

No, of course she didn’t.

"Is there anything else you can tell us about Chip?" I asked hoping to get this out of the way and have Katy see there was nothing to worry about here. It was a long shot, but being around Katy taught me to pray…often.

"Besides, he’s a piece of shit boyfriend?" Ashley clarified.
