The Planck Factor - Chapter 16

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Jessica

By the time I awoke later that morning, Liz had already gone to work. I wondered if she’d heard about the murder. Did Liz watch CNN? If it was on CNN, it was probably in The Washington Post, too.

Even though I hadn’t done anything, I worried that Liz could be accused of harboring a fugitive.

I got Liz’s Mr. Coffee brewing and searched the kitchen for breakfast choices, rejecting Liz’s healthy cereal, which looked more like bird food than breakfast. As I waited for my bagel to toast, I agonized over the implications of hiding out in her place. Holing up here could put Liz’s bar license at risk.

But where would I go? I’d already left the state. Should I turn myself in to the D.C. or Boulder police? My previous dealings with the Boulder cops were less than satisfying. And I didn’t treasure the thought of being held on suspicion in a D.C. jail.
