At least for now—he wasn’t sure for how much longer—he would continue to keep his thoughts to himself. But much of what he ultimately decided depended on whether Harrison pulled through.
Mariella continued to lecture her daughter while Elana ignored her. Joe felt it a good time to make a brief exit and call the detective on the investigation of the accident. He slipped out of the private dining hall, walked through the main area and out front, away from prying ears.
Joe rounded El Acantilado and went out back to the private parking lot. He got in his car and shut the door. He removed a business card from his jacket pocket, took out his cell and tapped in the numbers. The doctor’s toxicology report had already come back, showing no indication that drugs or alcohol had played any role in Harrison’s accident. The doctors speculated that he’d had some health crisis that they hadn’t pinned down yet. Barring some kind of medical emergency or driver error—highly unlikely—the only other conclusion that Joe could come to was the unthinkable. His stomach knotted. He needed to know how close the police were to turning over that stone.
The phone rang several times, and Joe was sure it would go to voice mail, when it was finally answered on the other end.
“Detective Burns,” he barked into the phone.
“Detective Burns, this is Joe Reynolds.”
“Oh, Mr. Reynolds. I’m on my way to a scene right now.”
“I won’t take too much of your time. I wanted to know if there have been any updates on the Harrison Marshall investigation.” Joe heard some shuffling and voices in the background, then the noise grew distant, as if Burns had gone into another room. He heard a door shut.
Burns cleared his throat. “Listen, this is totally off the record. Understood?”
“Understood. What is it?”
Joe listened with growing dread.
