WE INTRODUCED MARSHAL Ted Forrester to Bobby In clothes, he looked less like a victiing shoes, as if he were going to walk out of here soon That wasn’t true, but the clothes made him seem more real somehow Bobby’s attitude was iven him more confidence, or maybe he just felt ht his clothes had forgotten a belt, so Bobby kept pulling his pants up as he paced in his cell He’d started pacing e asked hiht of the murder I didn’t need Olaf’s supernatural senses to know Bobby was nervous and hiding things froht blond hair so often that if it had had any body to it, it would have been a ht and so baby fine that it just kept falling back into place

He nodded and stopped walking long enough to look atreco small and had to stare at the floor hard to find it

“Jocelyn says she wasn’t in your bedrooht”
“I didn’t say she was in e back to human, and she knows I came in thelike I always do I never even went downstairs as a leopard that night Joshie knows that”
I shrugged “She says you did it, Bobby, that you killed her dad”
“Did she see nant
“No, she just found the body,” Newman said
“Then I don’t understand I’ve been thinking about it, and I re outside in the woods The deer I killed should still be in the tree outside myIt’s where I stash kills that I can’t eat all at once”
“Leopards in Africa put kills in trees so lions and hyenas don’t get to the your kill from here?” I asked
