      “No, actually,” Adam said. “It’s because her apartment is about twenty minutes closer to her work, you prick.”

      Ramirez stepped closer, now standing beside Avery and about three feet away from Adam.

      “What did you do after she left two nights ago?” Avery asked.

      “I went to bed, just like I did last night,” Adam said. “Woke up this morning and started getting ready for work. That’s when I got the call that Keisha had died. Your two cop friends were over about half an hour later.”

      “How did you feel when getting the news?” Avery asked.

      “What kind of stupid question is that?”

      Ramirez stepped up one more time, now on the stairs. He glared up at Adam with far too much contempt in his gaze for Avery’s liking. “Can you just answer the question?” Ramirez asked.

      “I was surprised,” Adam said. “A little sad, I guess. Yeah, she was sort of my girlfriend but it wasn’t too serious.”

      “How long had you dated?” Avery asked.

      “About seven months. We weren’t committed or anything.”

      “And is there any way you can prove you were at home last night? Maybe you went online at some point and we could check your internet history. Something like that?”

      “No, and I don’t…wait…are you actually thinking I did this? You think I killed her?”

      “No, I didn’t say that,” Avery said. “I’m just trying to establish where you were when we believe she was killed. Trust me…I would love nothing more than for you to provide a reason to eliminate you from the equation.”
