“How about their relationship, with each other? It’s not gossip,” Eve said, reading Greta perfectly. “It’s very fair, and it’s very ‘correct’ for you to tell me any and everything you can that may help me find out what happened to Mr. Anders.”
“They seemed very content to me, very well suited. It would be my impression that they enjoyed each other, and their life together.”
Enjoying each other wasn’t what the crime scene transmitted, Eve thought. “Did either, or both of them, have relationships outside the marriage?”
“You mean sexual. I couldn’t say. I manage the house. I’ve never seen anything in the house that would lead me to believe either, or both, engaged in adulterous affairs.”
“Can you think of anyone who’d want him dead?”
“No.” Greta eased back slowly. “I thought-I assumed-that someone had broken in to steal, and that Mr. Anders was killed by the thief.”
“Have you noticed anything missing or out of place?”
“No. No. But I haven’t looked.”
“I’m going to have you do that now. One of the officers will take you around.” She glanced over as Peabody came in. “ Peabody, get one of the uniforms. I want Mrs. Horowitz escorted while she looks around the house. You’re free to go afterward,” Eve told Greta. “If you’d give my partner or me the contact information where you’ll be.”
“I prefer to stay, until Mrs. Anders arrives, if this is allowed. She may need me.”
“All right then.” Eve rose, signaling the end to the initial interview. “Thanks for your cooperation.”
As Greta went out, Eve walked to the room off the kitchen. Inside two droids, disengaged, stood. One male, one female, both uniformed and dignified in appearance. The security screens Greta had spoken of ranged over a wall, and as she’d stated, the master bedroom camera showed only the sitting area.
“ Dallas?”
“Huh?”
“House security was disengaged at two twenty-eight, reengaged at three twenty-six.”
