“Yeah, like I told you, she was nice enough, qualified, and I trusted her with my son. Just figured it was best that he be with his actual parents.”

There was an unmistakable bitterness toward Tony, but that could be understood. “Do you know what her relationship with Alicia was like?”

“They got along fine as far as I know.”

“I’m… You’re letting me go?”

“Yes. Thank you for your cooperation.”

“Not that I had much choice,” he mumbled and left.
