That afternoon, Catt sent Em a text reminding her about the video. Even though Catt had seen it from the detective, she wanted a copy for herself.
Thirty minutes later Beau entered the office. “I need some water.” He walked to the fridge and grabbed a bottle. He twisted the top and guzzled it. “Ahh, that’s good.” He faced Catt. “What’s wrong?”
She didn’t respond.
“Is everything okay?”
“The detective was here earlier.”
“He was here?”
“You didn’t see him?”
Beau removed his hat and scratched his head. “No. Must have been when I left to pick up supplies for the shed. But honestly, I never see anyone when they pull up in the drive since I’m in the back working, unless the dogs bark.” He paused. “Come to think of it, Duke did bark, but I never saw any cars in the drive, except mine, yours and Em’s.”
“The detective showed me the surveillance video.” She explained about the woman and the man in the video and about Trey and the woman’s cars parked on the street.
Catt’s phone alerted her she had a message. The video from Em. Catt clicked the video and turned it toward Beau.
“Do you recognize this woman and man?”
Beau viewed it. “Uh...no.”
“Are you sure?” Catt asked.
Beau frowned. “I’m sure. Why?”
“Since you and Trey were friends, I was hoping you might recognize them.”
He drank more water. “What did the detective say about the video?”
“He’s investigating it. But he wants you to call him to see if you remember seeing or hearing anything suspicious when Trey came back to the property.”
“I already told him I don’t know anything.”
“Give him a call and hopefully he’ll get the message.” Catt grabbed her phone. “I just texted you his number.”
Beau threw the bottle in the recycle bin. “I have to get back to work.”
Catt’s mouth twisted, and she chewed on her bottom lip. Was Beau hiding something? She needed to find out if he was telling the truth.
