Chapter 15: Edie
The detective let me watch the video twice.
Then he took the memory card and put it in an evidence bag, and I went to the hotel and didn't sleep.

"I look like a woman who was in a ward."

"Children like whipped cream," she said, when I looked at it.
"Since when do you know what children like?"
"Since I raised you."
The knock came at ten past.
Stewart's sister came in first.
She was a soft, nervous woman in a ski jacket, and she looked at me.
"He told me you were in a hospital in Switzerland," she said. "He said you didn't want to see anybody."
