"Yes And that the illegitireith feelings of hate and anger, believing that if Krakowski hadn’t died, their lives ht’ve been different That if he’d lived, he would have divorced his wife, nant mistress--if there was one--or…whatever," Sean said "It’s a wild card, but Oliver has an airtight alibi…and Helena is dead"
"A legitiht recognize that Krakoas a woan added, "but that he would never have divorced his wife"
"Right Benita learned that her great-grandfather was a cheat That’s what she was told, at any rate And as you said, itimate child would teach his or her heirs that they would’ve been legiti--if their ancestor hadn’t been killed by carelessness on a set Or an asked hio," Sean said, "and it was generally accepted as an accident We may never know--but what matters isn’t what really happened, it’s what a certain person believes ht it could’ve been murder The killer seems to blame the Claymore studio, which did the special effects on the Sam Stone movie, not the Waterton film studio where the accident took place And he doesn’t care that Eddie, who had nothing to do with any of it, nons Claymore’s At least, that’s the only alternative I can see at theshot--and it ht shot But there has to be a connection Helena was obviously an accomplice However, she’s dead, and I don’t believe she killed herself There has to be a second suspect, and he--or she--has an agenda There’s a good chance that agenda is connected to Krakowski"
"I’ll get on the coood at research, but finding out who a guy was sleeping with…hood at reading between the lines I’ to the studio now"
"Yeah, you do that And when you’re back at the hotel, maybe you can do soure out, too First, though, why don’t you drive Madison ho about Krakowski’s sleeping habits," Logan suggested
"Will do," Sean assured Logan
He thanked Knox and the other cops and said goodbye, leaving the station As he did, he called Madison’s cell number
No answer He tried Tyler’s phone next; he did answer
"Everything all right there?" Sean asked
"The e a bit early but it seeo fine," Tyler said
"Madison?"
"Fine Don’t worry She won’t go anywhere without me She had lunch with Andy, Mike and her assistant All is well Bailey is on the security desk, and the two cops are still in the building"
"Great I’ed not to scream The creatures in the circular hallway display weren’tCreatures didn’t move unless they were radio-controlled or fitted with batteries and run by remote control orthere
"Alfie, what the hell are you doing?" she demanded For the first time, she felt acutely uncomfortable His curiosity about her relationship with Sean had been al for you," he said
"Why?"
"Half the crew’s gone home I’m…I’m not happy out there alone," he said, wide-eyed "Are we still working?"
"You do what you want, Alfie I need to finish up that costume I told Mike it’ll be ready for tomorrow"
She didn’t know if he followed her or not As she passed the guard station, she saw that Tyler Montague was there, watching the entrance, as if he was taking a tally of those ere co
She smiled at him and continued to her station
As she neared her work area and sewing machine, she realized that Alfie was directly behind her He shivered
"What’s the matter with you?" she asked
Madison wasn’t worried about being in the studio; Tyler Montague was on duty and there was a cop by the elevator on the first floor and another by the elevator on the second Poor guys must be bored to tears, except that the cops switched shifts every eight hours
Eight hours They still had to be bored to tears
"I just don’t feel right," Alfie said "Let’s go ho hooing to finish this costu with you"
She began to work on the shirt, and Alfie ood at what he did, a great assistant, sensing what she needed before she needed it
Her cell phone rang Alfie juer
"Alfie!" she said, finding her phone, which she’d placed on the sewing ue’s name on her caller ID
"Madison, it’s Tyler"
"Aren’t you still in the building?"
