With frustration and some regret, she studied murder. It lay in the quiet
room on a sofa the color of good merlot, with heart blood staining a pale
gray sweater beneath the silver bolt of a scalpel. Her eyes, flat and grim,
tracked the body, the room, the tray of artfully arranged fruit and cheese on
the low table.
“In close again.” Her voice, like her eyes, was all cop as she
straightened her long, lean frame. “He’s lying down. He’s deactivated the
droid, leaving it and the house security programmed for DO NOT DISTURB.
But he’s lying here and he doesn’t worry about somebody coming in,
leaning over him. Tranqs maybe. We’ll check the tox screen but I don’t
think so. He knew her. He didn’t fear for his life when she came into the
room.”
She stepped to the door. In the corridor outside the pretty blonde sat on
the floor, head in her hands with the sturdily built, newly minted detective
smirking beside her.
And she stood, framed in the doorway with murder at her back.
“And cut! That’s the money shot.”
At the director’s signal, the area—dressed as the late Wilfred B. Icove,
Jr.’s home office—became a hive of sound and movement.
Lieutenant Eve Dallas, who’d once stood in that home office over a
body that did not—as this one did—sit up and scratch his ass, felt the weird
sense of déjà vu shatter.
“Is this iced or what?” Beside her, Peabody did a restrained little dance
by lifting and lowering the heels of her pink cowboy boots. “We’re on an
actual vid set watching ourselves. And we look good.”
“It’s weird.”
And weirder yet, Eve thought, to watch herself—or a reasonable
facsimile—coming toward her with a big, happy smile.
She didn’t smile like that, did she? That would be yet another weird.
“Lieutenant Dallas. It’s so great you made it on set. I’ve been dying to
meet you.” The actress held out a hand.
Eve had seen Marlo Durn before, but as a sun-kissed blonde with dark
green eyes. The short, choppy brown hair, the brown eyes, even the shallow
dent in the chin that matched her own gave Eve a little bit of the wigs.
“And Detective Peabody.” Marlo passed the long leather coat she’d
worn for the scene—a twin of the one Eve’s husband had given her during
the Icove investigation—to a wardrobe person.
“I’m a huge fan, Ms. Durn. I’ve seen everything you’ve been in.”
“Marlo,” she told Peabody. “We’re partners, after all. Well, what do you
think?” She gestured at the set, and a twin of the wedding ring on Eve’s
finger flashed on Marlo’s. “Are we close?”
“It looks good,” Eve said. Like a freaking crime scene still with people
tromping around.
