章 75: 074 Luck

"Hi, Pat."

"Hi, Jimmy."

Frank said, "Sit down, Jimmy. What were you about to say?"

Jimmy, still slightly confused, sat on the sofa and looked at Pat.

"I wanted to say, I went to Pinnacle Mountain State Park today. There was a fire in one of the duty offices, and a body was found. I wanted to ask Pat about the situation." After a pause, Jimmy began.

Pat asked, "Is the investigation over there concluded?"

Jimmy: "Yes, it's concluded. The case is closed."

Pat: "Very good, then I won't need to deal with it."

Jimmy: "Pat, what happened?"

Pat: "Nothing much, someone came to rob, I killed him, and then I just took the opportunity to fake my own death."

Jimmy looked at Pat. He had only given such a disjointed account that Jimmy couldn't piece together a full story. Jimmy turned to look at Frank, then back to Pat.
