He looked up at him and shook his head slightly. "No. No, I'm not an idiot. I stayed away. But then Alice kidnapped me at knifepoint." He gave a tight smile. "She'd been obsessed with John for a long time. Of course he went to her for help."
He sighed. "She took me to him. I... I tried to hit him. I was so angry... He didn't hit me back, though. Just tried to stop me. That's when I knew. He hadn't done it. He said he hadn't, and I knew it was true. He said... his friend. Ian Reed. Another policeman. John had caught him doing... I don't even remember. Things police shouldn't do. Stealing. Corruption. He killed Zoe to try to stop John from talking, I guess. That didn't matter to me. I wanted... revenge."
