“You’re crazy! Last night I was with you, and you’re stuck with it, Sean.”
O’Brien shook his head.
“That won’t work. I was at a party last night. Why did you kill her?”
“Who said I did?” Johnny asked.
“Why try and bluff with me?” O’Brien said curtly. “You threatened to kill her before you went into the home, the moment you come out she’s murdered. Do you imagine you can get away with it?”
Johnny stared at him.
“I know I can get away with it!” he said.
“So you admit it, then?” O’Brien said.
“Okay, I admit it,” Johnny returned. “I said I’d finish her and I like to keep a promise. She had enough warning. She went on with her dirty game and there wasn’t any other logical dung to do with her.”
O’Brien hadn’t had any doubt that Johnny had killed Fay, but he hadn’t expected him to be quite so brazen about it.
