“Sally’s Place?”

“That’s what the sign said.”

“Last name?”

“Bennett.”

Arthur lowers the ice pack.

“Same as Will?”

Will looks at him.

“There are a lot of Bennetts.”

“Are you related?”

“No.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

Arthur returns the ice pack to his face.

Sage continues.

“Sally kept an apartment above the diner. She lived alone.”

“No husband?” Kane asks.

“Divorced. She had a daughter, but they didn’t talk anymore.”

“Did she tell you why?”

“No. I didn’t ask.”

“What about employees?”

“Two waitresses during the day. A cook named George. Sally worked nights by herself.”

“With a teenage girl sleeping in her storeroom?” Sean asks.

“She locked the doors.”

“That isn’t the point.”

Sage looks at him.

“You’re doing that thing again.”

“What thing?”

“Getting angry at something that happened almost two years ago.”

“I’m not angry at you.”

“I know.”
