BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA
POLICE STATION
1:45 P.M.
"Is that really you, Nellie? You haven't aged a day."
"It's the virgin sacrifices, Stu. Keeps me young."
"Careful, Nell, you're on the record."
"The record ought to understand sarcasm."
"Nell, Caroline Reid was seen leaving your house real late last night. Care to tell us why?"
"The murder's been rough on her. I gave her some tea and let her cry it out. She's been so tough, for the kids, you know? She deserved it."
"Nellie, on the record, there's no chance you're involved?"
"No. I am not involved. I couldn't harm a living thing."
"Off the record?"
"Look, Levi's been sleeping around for awhile now. It was heartbreaking for Carrie. She thought he was the one, but she was one of many. Then she meets Georgia, and they started, well, doing ungodly things in those empty rooms at the b&b. And Levi was pissed for no reason because he'd been doin the same thing. My opinion? Someone close to Carrie killed him."
"Thanks, Nell."
"No need to thank me. Just a relief to get it off my chest."
