Why not? Yes, sir. He knocked on Speerss door; there was no answer. He called out, Helen, you decent? There was still no answer. Only when theyre revealed to be true by means of actual facts. Roy Blankenship had confided in Devine about his wifes affair. And Blankenship knew that Ken Hawkins was the one screwing his wife; he had told Devine about it.
