"What's the matter, sweetheart? Did you forget your story?" Matt's voice was thick with sarcasm.

Lara shook her head. "No, I didn't forget." What good would it do to tell him the truth?

Lara stood staring at him for a while. He was a stranger to her now. If she didn't say something soon, he would probably break her arm.

"I saw you pull the trigger," she murmured. "I saw you shoot Randy Martin."
