Chapter Twenty

“You can’t bring a pig into the police station.” Noah Druck tried to shoo Willow out of the old station by using his hand that was holding a doughnut, but Willow tripped him up by smelling his shoes.

A snort came out, and Noah dropped his donut. Willow snatched it up and downed it in one gulp.

“Get her out of here.” Noah pointed to the door. “All our evidence will be eaten up if she stays in here.”

“You didn’t need that doughnut anyway.” I didn’t pay attention to Noah Druck’s order. “Did you want to see me or not?”

The other officers snickered. They’d already gotten a good dose of Willow while taking all those fingerprints, and weren’t going to mess with her.

“Hi, Jim.” I wasn’t sure if I should smile or not. “How’s Ginger doing? I really need to call her.”

It was still uncomfortable. Even if she didn’t suspect me of killing her brother, she didn’t extend that to my ex-husband.

Jim was standing on the step stool adjusting some video cameras in the corner near the door. He pulled the screwdriver away and gave me a half-hearted smile.

“It’s hard. Doug was a pain in her ass, and mine too for that matter, but he was a good guy.” Jim was always getting Doug out of trouble for Ginger.

They were always together, sort of like brothers.

“I heard about the shop getting broken into.” Jim said, and shook his head. “I wish we knew what was going on around here.”

I glared at Noah. No one was supposed to know about the break-in.

“For goodness sakes, Holly, he works around here.” Noah said, trying to smooth things over. He took a seat in the chair behind his desk.

“You should think about installing a couple of cameras.” Jim stepped off the stool. “With the way things are going around town, I’m getting calls left and right.”

He was right. I’d been blowing him off ever since I opened the shop. There hadn’t been a need for security cameras in a town like Swanee. Until now.

“I’ll think about it.” I said, and held up the note from Noah Druck I had found on my door. “You stopped by?”

Noah summoned me over to his desk.

“Where were you last night?” He asked, and pulled out that damn notebook from his shirt pocket.

Should I answer quickly, or take time to think about it? Which one made me look worse? If I answered too quickly, it might make me look nervous. If I took some time, it might make me look like I was hiding something.

“Are you accusing me of something?” I asked and sat down in the chair in front of his desk. My shoulders sagged and I swallowed hard.

“No, but I came by the shop and your house. You’re generally at one or the other.” He tapped the notebook with his pen.

“Why do you need to know?” This cat and mouse game was getting very interesting.

“Have you forgotten there was a dead man found in your shop?” He began to tap harder.
