“Very well,” Daniel said. “If Alex issued the report, and you were questioned today, that is commensurate with the timeline of events.”
“How long have you been with Daniel?” Chloe asked.
“Since Sunday morning,” Mirielle said. “Daniel picked us both up while Alex was still asleep.”
“We should call that cop, what was his name? Sabretti,” Phillip said.
“Absolutely not!” Daniel said. “You must have no further contact with the police!”
“Give me one good God damned reason why not,” Phillip hissed.
“The police only have Alex’s side of the story,” Chloe said, her eyes lighting up with understanding. “If we say we know where they are, it matches up with his story, and we all go down in flames.”
“To say nothing of the considerably greater risk that Mirielle and Rob would be exposing themselves to,” Daniel said. “This is quite troubling.”
“No kidding,” Phillip said. “Look, just tell me this. How is Rob? The kids are really worried about him.”
Mirielle’s voice picked up. “He’s doing fine,” she said. “We’ve been keeping him home so that he doesn’t get spotted, but Daniel was thinking of escorting him to and from school until this gets fixed.”
“Indeed, this may be an ideal opportunity,” Daniel said. “The children are asking about Rob, you say?”
