"Yeah, I meant to, but"

"But what?"

"I made some discoveries"

"Like what?" Dustin asked

"I never knew Aaron and Sandra were sleeping together," Marcus said

"You were spying on theust

"Not the way you think Iwent to the Horse Farm and Aaron was still there I went--" He paused There was an air of sadness about hi Orange Cat was hanging around in Zeus’s stall, and I swear that anireat cat, Agent--if you’re thinking of adopting"

"He’s a great mouser, too, Marcus Good in the stables," Olivia pointed out

"But he’s special Ah, hell, they’re all special" Marcus sighed

"Marcus," Dustin said, steering hiht, did you see Sydney or Drew?"

"No, but they were in their apartments," Marcus answered

"Both apartments are upstairs Sydney’s is above the stable office and Drew’s is over the tack room," Olivia clarified for Dustin’s benefit

"How did you know they were in their roo an old Beatles albu that reality show about people ildly expensive collectibles and don’t even know it," Marcus said

"But you didn’t actually see either of them"

"No, because when I was in the stables, I heard noise over at the main office, so I went there"

"And did you see Aaron and Sandra?"

"Yes I’ht have stayed there after closing Maybe she was just doing paperwork in the peace and quiet and fell asleep on one of the sofas I’ve seen Sandra stay over to do paperwork and reports occasionally Aaron drove in"

"Sandra said she was going straight hoed in response

"What time?" Olivia asked him

He looked at her curiously "Time" he repeated slowly

"Yes, what time was it?"

"I don’t really know It’s really not much of a concept to me anymore"

"Does that explain why you didn’t coht?"

Marcus seemed stricken by the reminder "I am so sorry"

"You really can’t help her, Marcus," Dustin said

"Yes, but, you’re right The responsibility falls to "

Olivia wanted to pat Marcus’s leg and re is always helpful, Marcus And I would’ve appreciated one last night," she muttered under her breath

Dustin leaned forward "Marcus, when you walked into the woods, do you re was yelping--crying I knew Sa else? Yes, actually So? Sort of like a mosquito next to your ear But then I"

"But then you lost consciousness," Dustin finished

Marcus nodded in a dazed way "You’re really not safe, are you, Liv? I have put you in danger"

"She’s my responsibility now," Dustin said

"Stop it!" Olivia exploded "I’m not anyone’s responsibility I’m an adult We’re all here to discover the truth behind Marcus’s death, not to treat me likelike an infant"

Both et killed?" Marcus asked fiercely

"No, of course not!"

"Hent and you’re not I say you need to let him take responsibility," Marcus told her

She threw up her hands "Can we not ain and then at each other Dustin resu "Okay, Marcus, this is important You believe--but you’re not certain--that Sydney and Dreere in their rooht?"
