"I know who you are," Louise said. "No way did my dad send you to get us."
"You're right, it was my own idea. So why come with me?"
"If we hadn't, I'd have got beaten up and the doctors would have kept on messing with Jack."
"Messing with him how?"
"Asking him questions. Trying to get him to talk about things he could never have seen. All because of that picture."
This was new. "What picture?"
"The one Jack painted that caused all this fuss."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"The woman in the red dress. He called it the painted bride. Pippa showed it to her father and her father called the police. They had Jack in a room all yesterday and kept asking him about it. Now they're all trying to twist it by saying it means something."
"What are they trying to say?"
"That he must have seen her lying on the kitchen floor. That the rainbow means he saw her blood coming out."
