The woman apologizes when she doesn't have to, and it's not that Reid thinks that's a sign of guilt because she's very clearly not a vampire, thus not responsible for the body behind them; but in spite of that, there's something a little off about the way she's reacting. He believes her when she says that she'd been at work because she's dressed the part, but he's had just a bit of experience in telling when someone has something to hide over the years and he has no doubt that she is, in fact, hiding something. Reid just can't imagine what it could be because if she'd seen the attack and can give a description of the vampire responsible, there should be no issue in doing just that.
Then again, he reasons, there could be a deeper connection he hasn't seen yet. It's not so outrageous to believe that someone could be involved in some way with a vampire, even one who can't resist the taste of fresh human blood, when he's slowly but surely falling for a man who completely shifts into a wolf and loses all his control to the full moon every month. Quite a lot of things have stopped surprising in Darrow for that very reason.
"That's alright," he says, waving off her apology. "If you didn't see anything, you didn't see anything." He pauses, tilting his head. "What about before today, Miss-- What was your name? You might have read in the papers by now that this isn't the first attack like this that we've seen. I'm sure if you had information, you would've already given it but sometimes, we don't even realize we've seen something that's right in front of us until we look back on it."
