“No,” Logan said. “I don’t feel like puking. You’re familiar. Who are you?” He looked at Jack, not me.
“Jack Angelhart, Private Investigator. I talked to you yesterday at your house in Paradise Valley.”
“Jennifer,” Logan said. “Yeah—her friend.”
“What friend?”
“Rachel. She called me. Jennifer.” He frowned, confused.
“Jennifer called you? Or Rachel?” I asked. “When?”
I had a bad feeling that Brittney had set me up—okay, set Logan up, but used me to do it.
“This afternoon. She had my private cell phone number.”
“Who called you, Logan?”
“He’s been drugged,” Jack said. “He might not remember.”
I understood how date-rape drugs worked. He might be confused, but he should remember who called him before he was roofied.
“Who called you?” I repeated.
“Rachel. Jennifer gave her my number.”
“Is that what Rachel said?” I pressed. “That she was friends with Jennifer and Jennifer asked her to set up a meeting?”
“Yeah—she said they were friends.”
“When did you talk to Rachel?”
“This afternoon. I rescheduled a meeting with an investor to be here.” He frowned. “Why would she drug me? Are you sure?”
“How do you feel?” Jack asked.
“Fuzzy. My head feels thick. I didn’t drink any alcohol.” He rubbed his temples. “Are you sure?”
“I saw her put something in your drink,” Jack said. “I spoke to security. They’ll review the cameras if you want to prosecute, but she’s already gone.”
I looked around; I hadn’t seen her leave.
Jack said, “We can’t detain her, Margo. But we’ll find out who she is. Logan, what did she say when you first got here?”
“I asked if Jennifer was okay. She said yes, that she would meet us soon. Ordered me a drink, but I declined. I ordered a Coke. I have an early day tomorrow.” He frowned. “I can’t remember what I’m supposed to do in the morning.”
“Have you spoke to Jennifer since she was taken to the hospital yesterday?” I asked.
He almost didn’t answer, then said, “I really don’t know who you are.”
“Jennifer left the hospital,” Jack said. “She didn’t go back to your rental or her condo. Is she in trouble?”
He didn’t say anything.
I knew that it wasn’t Jennifer who sent that woman here to meet Logan.
I motioned for Jack to step aside, then said quietly, “He can’t drive home. You drive him, ask questions. I’m certain that Brittney set him up. When we met yesterday, she told me he had a meeting here at six thirty. But Logan said Rachel called him today.”
“He could have been planning to meet his investor here.”
