Our Sick Inheritance (editing)

Ch 96 (kyle) - If Truth Be Told

After eating a quick breakfast Kyle gave his wife Alicia a big kiss with the promise of letting each other know when they hear from their daughter Stacy. Kyle then headed to Harmony's house before he made his way to the airport. The skies were clear and the ground only held onto what fell onto it from the night causing the thick snow to turn to thinner ice. There were no more storm warnings for the day which allowed the city to clear the roads for drivers and allow for flights to have a save escape. There was more wetness than ice on the streets at least in the cities.

He didn't expect anyone to answer Harmony's door so early in the morning so it was a shock when Harmony herself swung open the door as if she were performing for a play. But by the surprised look on her face Kyle knew she was answering in irritation for it didn't seem like she was expecting anyone either. Harmony's mother was behind her moving boxes through the house.

"Harmony Faulk?" Kyle asked and noticed the girl's mother was coming towards the door.

"I'm Kyle Mason. I have a few questions for you if you don't mind?"

"What sort of questions?" Harmony's mother Sandra asked.

"It is about Anna I think Mom." Harmony said turning towards her mother to reassure her not to worry.

"That is correct." Kyle said and shook Harmony's mother's hand.

"What about Anna, is she alright?" Sandra asked worried.

"Yes, Mom, she just witnessed something. I'll tell you all about it in a minute but first I am going to talk to Mr. Mason. I know his daughter Stacy so I kind of know his family already." Harmony explained.

"Ok, I'll be in the kitchen if you need me." Sandra said.

"Thanks Mom." Harmony said as Sandra waved at them then disappeared around the corner.

"I also need to talk to Anna but I have a few questions for you to clear you as a suspect in a murder that occurred last Friday night." Kyle said glad that Harmony had a clue as to why he as there and wouldn't have to play games to get any answers. At least that is what he hoped.

"You own a website called 'Dragonfly Designs' with Anna Fairfield isn't that correct?" Kyle asked then smiled.

"Yes, but Anna mostly runs it, I do the modeling for it along with other friends." Harmony replied. "Anna isn't in town right now, she is on a trip with her Dad."

This confused Kyle because he knew from Jake that Anna was traveling alone. He was under the assumption that Colin was home. Kyle knew that Anna's father had been home on Saturday because he told her that they were moving to an island before they showed up at Jake's friend's party where Jake met Anna for the first time. He then wondered if Harmony even knew if Anna was with her dad or not. Anna could have kept that piece of information to herself. Not even Kyle was sure that Colin was in town for he could have gone somewhere when Anna went on her trip and may indeed not be home at all.

"When was the last time you saw Anna?" Kyle asked Harmony. He could tell she was nervous as she started to fidget with her hands and the doorknob behind her as they stood on her porch. He wondered how long she was going to fight with wanting to bolt into the house.

"Saturday night, I took her to a party because she needed an ego boost after her date flopped last Friday night." Harmony stated honestly without giving details.

"Would that be the date with a guy named Ryan?" Kyle asked.

"I honestly couldn't confirm his name because I don't want to be wrong." Harmony said.
