Bab 184: The other side

Shark stared at her in a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

"You actually think she's dead."

His heart skipped a beat as excitement set in and suddenly he started to view the case in a different light. If things were as Phoebe truly thought then it was about to blow up anytime. A dead murdered daughter of a founding family was going to turn into a high profile case. For one small moment he felt pity for Linda but it vanished quickly. If she was dead, she could not be saved and all he could do was bring her justice. He would also benefit largely from solving the mystery, he had to grab the opportunity as soon as possible.

Phoebe could read his excitement from where she was and she scoffed. As expected of the Shark, now that she had shared this with him, he was going to be more proactive. It would not surprise her if he went to the Verdemont house and started questioning people immediately.
