Chapter 11
There was a silent truce between Detective Cooper and Jennifer Marsh as she followed him into the police station with her knapsack over her shoulder.
The room went silent when they entered it. Inspector Shouldice, who headed the RCMP fraud squad looked up from her lunch. “Is this the woman you were talking about?”
Detective Cooper nodded. “It took some doing but we’re finally here.” He pointed at the knapsack. “She’s brought all her stuff on Nick James, too.”
Lieutenant Harris interjected. “I heard about the shoot out. Glad to hear you’re both okay. We’re holding those two punks for questioning. It looks as if they were sent by Maurice Dupris, the Montreal mafia head. What we can’t figure out, is why he would send his goons after Ms. March.”
“We’ll worry about that later. Right now, I’m interested in seeing what she has learned about Nick James,” Inspector Shouldice said.
Jennifer hated the way everybody talked about her as if she weren’t in the room. All they cared about was the evidence she gathered on Nick James, and that stupid detective hadn’t even bothered to introduce her. Well, she might as well set things straight before they continued to run all over her.
She introduced herself to the room in a loud voice. “I’m Jennifer Marsh, owner of a blog called Around the City. Perhaps you’ve heard of it. Detective Cooper tells me you’re interested in Nick James. So am I. I got interested in him a few weeks ago because something about him seemed way off.”
