Chapter 11

“That’s why we need to look into it,” Iris demanded as we walked back to my house to discuss if we really were going to help out Peaches. We’d left when China had come to be with Peaches after Peaches had texted her. I felt comfortable leaving Peaches with her best friend and told China to call me if Peaches remembered anything else.

“I don’t know.” I shook my head and felt a little better with the sunrise on the horizon. Why was it that everything felt so much better with a little light? “You and I both heard her treat Sarah terribly. All because Sarah wanted to take yoga classes, and Tranquility Spa is the only place around here to do it.”

“What about Nick?” Iris brought up another person I would look into. “You even mentioned how he was taken aback by the patent. He conveniently found Peaches?”

“We should be able to find out what Peaches did from the security cameras at the post office, which is why I think Angela believes Peaches killed him.” I knew the first thing the sheriff or the FBI would do was get the postmaster general to give them access to the security footage. “There’s nothing we can do that the FBI couldn’t do better.”

“FBI?” Iris jerked the gate to my house open.

“Breaking in to a post office is a federal crime, Iris. If Peaches did that and killed Simon, she’s never going to get out of it no matter what.” I unlocked the front door where we were greeted by a very happy Buster.

Iris melted down into the rocking chair as if the life had been sucked right out of her. Buster still brought out a smile on her face when he continued to jump up on her and give her some kisses.

“Hello!” Harriette Pearl was waddling down the sidewalk with her glass coffeepot in her hand. “I came down for a little coffee this morning.”

“What’s this about?” Iris asked.

“I see you two have been doing some exercise.” Harriette eyeballed our outfits. “I made fresh coffee to get your day started.”

“Spill it, Harriette.” Iris slowly rocked back and forth in the rocking chair.

“Buster, down,” I called out to Buster when he tried to jump on Harriette, who was already unstable. I met her on the front sidewalk and took the hot pot of coffee from her. “Wow, you brought the entire pot.”

“Mmhhmmm,” she ho-hummed, winking at me.

“Yeah, yeah. I know why you’re here.” I recalled the little curtain spying last night when Mac went to kiss me. “You interrupted a kiss.”

“Oh Bernie, I’m so sorry. It was just when you and Mac started to get close, I couldn’t contain my excitement and just plum squealed. I almost peed myself, which isn’t unusual for my age, but still.” She put her hand to her chest.

“Kissing? What kissing?” Iris leapt to her feet. “Who was kissing? I thought you came down here because you heard Simon Little was murdered.”

“Murdered! Simon Little was murdered?” Harriette threw her hand over her mouth.
