The apartment was dark. He switched on the lights in the living room. “Richard?”
He started toward the bedroom. At the door he looked inside and was sick to his stomach.
“Calm down, son.” Detective Whittier looked at the shivering figure in the chair.
Now, let’s go over it again. Did he have any enemies, someone mad enough at him to do this?
Gary swallowed. “No. Everyone... everyone liked Richard.” “Someone didn’t.”
“How long have you and Richard lived together?” “Two years.” “Were you lovers?”
“For God’s sake,” Gary said indignantly. “No. We were friends. We lived together for financial reasons.”
Detective Whittier looked around the small apartment. “Sure as hell wasn’t a burglary,” he said.
“There’s nothing here to steal. Was your roommate seeing anyone romantically?”
“No—Well, yes. There was a girl he was interested in. I think he was really starting to like her.”
“Do you know her name?” “Yes. Alette. Alette Peters. She works in Cupertino.”
Detective Whittier and Detective Reynolds looked at each other. “Cupertino?” “Jesus,” Reynolds said.
