So I was working through it in order, from my own records, and I got to the interview with Detective Bonaventura on the fifteenth of October, of which I had a page of my own notes made the same evening.

And in my own handwriting it says: told B she was already whimpering at the door, P was rushing.

And then I opened the note from the parking structure, which I had read perhaps forty times without ever reading it.

E fine on arrival as far as I saw, did not really look at her.

I sat at that table for a long time.

Here is what actually happened, and it took me about four months and Imogen Achara to be able to describe it without defending it.
