Pearl lifted her chin, making it clear she was there to stand by her best friend.
However, Richard was calm. "What happened?"
"I'm afraid Esther has something to do with Sabrina's accident earlier."
Esther thought back to that morning. She was really upset when she felt Claude didn't trust her. "No, Claude. Why would you think that? I was only trying to help her because it was the right thing to do. But now you're accusing me? That's not fair!"
"You think I'm being unfair? Seems like you'd have the most reason to do something like that."
Claude made a phone call, and soon a man came running over. He looked scared and didn't dare to speak up.
Pearl looked at him closely. He was strong but short, with tanned skin that shone.
Claude introduced him, "This is the guy. Miss Esther, do you know him?"
Esther glanced at him and scoffed. "Who is this? Are you trying to say he saw something?"
The man looked terrified when he heard that. "Miss Esther, you told me to do it, and now you're pretending you don't know me?"
"When did I ever ask you to do anything? Stop trying to paint me as the bad guy!" Esther turned to James, looking very upset. "I didn't do anything. I don't even know him."
