Sunshine knows, objectively, that he's not looking at her as anything more than a bystander and potential witness. She lost the ability to be objective about vampire-related things around the time they failed to eat her, though, and she's never been able to be objective about vampires where the cops are concerned, so while the logical portion of her brain is telling her to calm the fuck down, Sunshine, he doesn't suspect you of anything, the rest of it is panicking kind of a lot. It doesn't matter that she hasn't done anything. All she can think is that she might be the reason the vampires are here.
"Sorry," she says quietly, horribly grateful that she doesn't have to lie about this, at least. It's probably paranoid of her - scratch that, it's definitely paranoid of her - but she has no idea if this Spencer is going to be more like Jesse and Pat or the Goddess of Pain, and she doesn't think she can afford to find out, so she plays up her accent the way she does around snobby rich people, letting it turn her voice slow and lazy as she does her best to project uneducated, totally oblivious country hick baker. It wouldn't have worked on the SOF guys back home, but they know her back home. Maybe it'll work here. "I only just got off work, I haven't seen anything going on outside since, like, five."
She does feel a little bad for not telling him what she knows - which isn't really a whole lot, but if he knew it was a vampire that did this, it might help the investigation - but she doesn't want to risk it. Either he won't believe her or he will, and Sunshine genuinely doesn't know which would be the worse outcome.
