"I... shouldn't even be here," she choked out, as if just now realizing her folly, though part of it was because she overheard part of what was said by the P.I. She sighed shakily and said, "I hired a man to investigate why my sister's fiance disappeared. He is why I am here... I knew it had something to do with my brother but... I didn't know it was this bad." And then she shuddered and started to panic, "Did I..? Did I sh... shoot my brother?" Her voice was breathy and she was pale, looking like she was about to faint. She did nearly faint, swaying and nearly crumpling against Joe, but she took a few, calming breaths and shook her head, "I d-d-on't even know how to use a pistol properly," she squeaked and looked to the weapon she had dropped on the floor willingly, her lips pulled back to bare her teeth in a sort of grimace.
