Milo smiled.
Bowman said, “Hope you’re right. We’re assuming you found us on Meg’s phone.”
“We did.”
Lana Demarest said, “Can you tell us what happened?”
“Meagin was shot to death in the backyard of a man named Giovanni Aggiunta. He was also killed.”
“Oh my God.” Demarest looked at Bowman.
Bowman said, “Did it have to do with Meagin or with him?”
Milo said, “You knew him.”
“We knewofhim—correction, we had seen him. Once and only to say hello.”
“You saw him with Meagin?”
“At the spa. We went into the sauna, Meg was there with him and he left. But you could tell there was something going on between them.”
“How?”
Toni Bowman smiled. “The look that passed between them.”
Milo took out his pad. “Which spa, please?”
“Agua Fria Day Spa on Montana. That’s where we met Meagin. In the sauna. She loved the sauna.”
“How long ago?”
“A while back.” Bowman looked at Demarest. Uncertainty had softened her face.
Demarest said, “Well, we only started going there around a year ago, right?”
Bowman said, “That’s true. So it couldn’t have been much longer than that.”
“Maybe seven months,” said Demarest. “Can’t quantify beyond that, sorry.”
Milo said, “And you saw Gio Aggiunta when?”
“Hmm,” said Bowman. “That was maybe…three months ago?”
Demarest said, “That sounds about right.”
Bowman said, “I had a feeling he’d be a problem but not anything like this.”
“How so?” said Milo.
“Some people, you just can tell. The way he carried himself. Thelooks he and Meagin gave. He impressed me as lots of flash but no substance. My husband’s handsome but he’smadeof something. He’s a neurosurgeon. Dr. Emil Bowman, he helps people in pain.”
Demarest said, “My husband’s a physician and a biochemist. That’s how Toni and I got to know each other. At a medical retreat.”
Bowman said, “We kidded her about him. Who’re you trying to fool. She giggled and said it was just a fling. We didn’t judge. That’s not our responsibility.”
Milo said, “What else did she say about him?”
“Nothing. It was just that one time.”
