Last summer, when Karah Lee called Dad for help against the insidious Beaufont Corporation that was attempting to take over Hideaway, he had ridden into town with the feds like a knight in shining armor and cleaned house. It turned out Beaufont had connections with organized crime. Those people held grudges.
Why hadn’t she told him more often that she appreciated his heroics last year? Why had she allowed this gulf to remain between them until it was too late? Yes, they had always clashed. Dad tended to ride roughshod over everyone to get what he wanted, even when it involved meddling in her professional life. She’d resented it. Being her father’s daughter, she didn’t take his manipulations in silence.
“Karah Lee?” Geoff said, his voice gentle. “Are you okay?”
“I’m not sure.” Could her run-in with the Beaufont Corporation last summer have something to do with this? What if she had been the indirect cause of her father’s death?
“The police are questioning everyone right now,” Geoff said. “Please just come up here. They’ve taken blood and urine samples for screening. The FBI may take control of this investigation.”
She watched the spread of dark Missouri countryside pass around them as Fawn sped into the night. “How’s Shona holding up?”
“She seems to have withdrawn from everyone around her, although she’s still able to compose herself for the cameras.”
“Of course.” Shona had always been capable of shoving her feelings aside for the needs of others, and especially for Dad and her work.
“You need to be advised,” Geoff said, “that at this moment, she insists she will stay at the Capitol Plaza, no matter how impractical.”
“No surprise there. Any idea how long before anyone can return to the mansion?”
“The investigation is taking time. It could be days.”
“Can you convince Shona to stay with you if she knows Fawn and I would be at the house, as well?”
