Everything points to the fact that the murderer got away, at least for the time being. I gather that she was last seen at 4.30 by the housemaid?’ ‘Yes,’ Jyoti croaked from the corner. ‘I see ...’

They all cooed at the adorable couple and the eventful last few days they’d had. The police cars parked right outside Ross’s mansion before the officers headed to the front porch. One of them rang the doorbell and fortunately enough, Ross and Brittany answered the door at the same time.

If it hadn't been for the timely arrival of Richard Lee and his men just as Roy was about to rush out and find Neil, Neil might have been caught by Roy.
