Where the Sun Sets
Chapter 18
Josephine had no idea where she wanted to go after she left the doctor's
office. She needed to think, to clear her head. She needed to talk to someone but
whom? The only person in the world she could ever talk to was Antonia. But after
causing her to hyperventilate earlier, she wasn't sure she should go back to the
hospital right away. She could go home and talk with either Billy or Chloe, but that
would never make her feel any better. "Oh Anthony,' she thought to herself. "What
the hell have I gotten you into this time?'
A police cruiser pulled past her, with its lights flashing. "Barsky." She said
out loud, to no one. Mentally she had decided she was going to speak with the
Lieutenant. Josephine really did not know what she would talk to the woman about.
But she felt comforted by the decision, so she felt it was the right one. Ten
minutes later she again was sitting at the woman's desk.
"Ms. Ferrero, I must admit I hadn't expected you to come back today."
"Have you made any progress?"
"No, I am afraid we really don't have much to go on. I am curious though, do
you have the party guest list with you?"
"No actually, I was in the neighborhood and thought I might just stop in."
Barsky wasn't buying that and raised an eyebrow in question. "Have either you,
yourself or Ms. Dal Santo had any disputes with anyone recently? Any bad business
deals? Are you both ok financially?"
Josephine had the slight feeling of being chastised but dismissed it. "I can't
think of anything that would cause anyone to shoot me."
"So you are certain then, that you were the target?"
"I think I was. I can't be sure, but I think Anthony was..." Josephine caught
herself and tried to rethink her words. "She was...she saved my life. She saw the
gunman and pushed...tossed me out of the way." Again Barsky's eyebrows went on
alert.
