JAMIE
That’s great! I thought Sutton was driving him in.
SHEILA
No. Occasionally. He liked to sometimes, when things were
slow, he’d take him in because he talks more in the car. It was their time to
talk about something besides birds or the weather. He could ask him things in the
car, and he’d answer.
KATIE
Did Sammy go with Sutton most of the time?
SHEILA
Not sure what you mean most of the time, but yeah. Sure. He transitioned
over to doing a lot of the stuff I did when I went full-time time and he worked
mostly from home. It just worked better that way.
KATIE
Sure, but…
SAMMY
(yelling from the other room) Mama! Mama!
JAMIE
Geez, he has lungs on him!
SHEILA
What is it, little bird?
SAMMY
Come! Come!
SHEILA
Ok, I’m coming! I’ll be right back.
(SHEILA EXITS)
KATIE
See? There is nothing to this.
JAMIE
That is what you got from her saying that Sutton was most of
the time with Sammy? What about the other part of that time? Where was he?
KATIE
She said he was here working and often late.
JAMIE
Sheila goes to bed, and his office is all the way in the basement.
How does she know he doesn’t leave sometimes?
KATIE
And go where? You have no proof. Just a rumour by a neighbour.
Neighbors. Several of them said the same thing. He has been
or had been leaving a lot late at night.
KATIE
She had to know where he was going or what he was doing as they’ve
been married, what, thirty years? It probably was a taco run or something.
JAMIE
At midnight and every night for the last few months? A taco
run.
KATIE
Hey, he did say he loved those pop-up stands. He’d go on and
on about them.
JAMIE
Yeah, he did, but that doesn’t make sense.
KATIE
I don’t know, for great tacos, I might go on a midnight run most
nights. Who knows, people exaggerate.
JAMIE
True.
KATIE
It is probably…
