"Right, there you go, kid You’re lucky as hell," Bogie told her

Madison stared at Sean "You…you really see Bogie?" she whispered

"Clear as day"

"Yup, he sees ie said, pleased

Madison had no idea what to do or how to react

Sean leaned toward her "So, here’s the thing I know you saw our victim, as well I know you spoke to her, and that she replied"

"You…you heard," Madison said weakly

"Yes"

She was afraid she was going to fall off the chair In a way, her life, her private life, had reinative--she was, thank God, which hy she had the job she did--but that she wasn’t really so strange That it wasn’t real, it was all in her head

And now she was sitting here with so it real

She didn’t think she liked this reality Actually, no, she knew she didn’t Reality was Alistair Archer accused of ue

She realized then that Sean was looking at her with farat her with hope

She h nu back, his eyes still on her "Yeah, saot," he said wearily "Except she was pretty honest with you, gave youto have to interview her roo soback to the ue tomorrow We have to find out who else she saw that day She says people knew she planned to drop in on Alistair We have to knoho those people are"

"I’ie spoke quietly "And I’ to ue But I know she’ll help you all she can Now, just how crazy theto think you are--well, that I can’t say"

Sean turned to Madison and griot a point They’ll think we’re crazy if we insist on trip after trip to the ets in, you could join us Talk Jenny Henderson into…co home with us"

"What?" Madison didn’t mean to squeak out the question--but she already lived with one ghost

"Away froue, at least She could haunt the studio or the Black Box Cineie said "She was killed there"

"There has to have been a place she loved," Sean ure out where Then she can leave the ue and haunt a place that lanced over at Bogie

"Hey, I gotta say, I’ie said "Maybe it’s for the reruns Life can’t be rerun, but you can now see those old shows over and over again" He pointed a finger at Madison "Or maybe it’s for you, kid"

Sean leaned toward Madison once more "Most of the tiht, it’s because someone had a theory Forensics can be brilliant tools, but they don’t mean much unless you have a direction in which to take theet DNA, and if you’re lucky, you’ll find it in the syste to bet this culprit doesn’t have any kind of rap sheet So we need a theory The official theory now is that Alistair did it Our theory is that someone else did, someone who has a bone to pick with Jenny, Alistair or most likely Eddie Could Jenny have provoked that kind of hatred at her age? Probably not, but it is possible Could the killer want Alistair out of the picture? Yes, but he’ll go to prison for life, which doesn’t really rema of murder hurt Eddie Archer? To the bone So I think the murderer is out to make Eddie’s life miserable and perhaps close down the cinema and the studio"

"Why not kill Alistair, too?" Madison asked

"The living can suffer much more--suffer unto death," Sean said

She nodded slowly, then shook her head "I still can’t i to hurt him Helena needs Eddie I can’t believe she’d hurt him or Alistair, even if she had the wits to do it You know Archer’s partner, Andy Simons There’s no reason I can think of for him to do this And you know my boss--your old boss--Mike Greenwood Mike lives for the studio He’d be out of a job that he loves if the studio fell apart Let’s see…Benita They’re divorced I’ht she did care about him, but who knows? There were some rumors about her and other men… But she’s not that faot…"

"Then you’ve got?"

She sighed "The forty-plus people who are usually at the studio and the twenty-plus who come in on specific projects"

"Madison, we have to look at those who are closest to hi beyond that list"
