The thought of the uncle wanting to do something like that to his niece repulsed him, yet maybe Marvin could have done so.
He passed her his business card. "If you find out anything, can you give me a call?"
She nodded taking the card. "Why are you so interested in her?" she asked suspiciously. "Do you like her or something?"
"Or something. She was real nice to me and feels bad for treating her the way I did. I want to apologize and well I know she's a student and I thought I'd do something nice for her."
"Like what? She's smart. You could give her a nice job at your company. She's sweet too. If you really knew her you'd like her. She wouldn't hurt anyone and she works real hard."
"Are you two good friends?"
Cleo flushed. "I don't think Marvin let's her have any friends, but we talked a lot. I got her to open up about stuff and I taught her a lot of stuff. Marvin never lets her interact with boys. I thought I'd die when I found out she was a twenty year old virgin. She'd asked me a lot about sex and I'd tell her." She looked him over with appreciate wondering if she could work her wiles on him.
He stood up stiffly. "If you find anything, can you call me? I've been staying next door, but I don't anymore if I'll be moving in on the property too soon anymore."
"Yeah, sure and if you get lonely next door and you want to talk about Nick, I've always got my door open."
Ethan had to wonder what else would she have opened if he accepted her offer. "Thanks, Happy Holidays." Once he left, he went next door and called the investigator on what he had found out. He knew this was enough evidence to get them out there.
