"Why did you betray me?" I asked my first question.
"Sorry, Eva." Jenny almost cried, "Gina found out about my embezzlement and she threatened to expose me and send me to jail. So I had to agree to work with her, and she wanted me to tell Ron that you wanted to kill her. And she wants me to pin the embezzlement charge on you."
"That sounds like a good way to help Gina get rid of me and get someone to take the fall for you," I scoffed. "But you didn't think I'd live, did you?"
"Eva, I've always thought of you as my good friend, and that's the truth," Jenny begged. "Please let me go."
"The truth is that you and Gina conspired to kill me," I continued. "Second question, how much do you know about Ron's illegal operation?"
Jenny gave me a timid look, and then I saw a flicker of hesitation in her eyes. She was thinking. This is a common failing of all finance managers, who are timid but weigh the pros and cons even in times of crisis.
