Chapter 11

“We’re in luck,” Moose said as he pulled into the parking lot. “There’s Wayne’s truck right there. How do you want to handle this? Are you going to come out and call him a murderer, too, or is that just something you saved for Sam Jackson?”

“I told you, I admit that I was wrong the way I handled him. Besides, I don’t think Wayne did it.”

“Why, just because he’s following Jessie Blackstone around town? That doesn’t mean that he’s innocent of the murder.”

“How could it not?” I asked.

“Here’s something that you haven’t considered. What if Wayne killed Gordon, and he’s afraid that Jessie knows. Who knows? Maybe she saw something that she didn’t connect to the murder right away, and he’s waiting to see if she figures it out? If Wayne is the murderer, what’s to keep him from killing her, too, to shut her up?”

“Wow, you really do have a dark mind sometimes, don’t you?” I asked.

“Tell me that I’m wrong. I’ve always liked Wayne.”

I thought about it for a minute, and then I said, “No, when I look at things that way, you could be right. We need to be careful when we talk to him.”

Moose looked surprised by my admission. “Are you really considering my idea? Are you willing to change your mind that quickly?”

“Of course I am,” I said. “I’m a big enough woman to admit that I might have been wrong.”

“Wow, there was enough wiggle room in that statement to allow you full deniability that you ever said it,” Moose said with a smile.

“Let’s just go talk to Wayne, okay?” I asked with a smile.

“Yes, ma’am. I’m ready if you are,” Moose said.

We got out of the truck and walked inside the shop. It wasn’t going to be the most comfortable conversation that we’d ever had with a suspect, but then again, it was never easy asking someone about their capacity to commit murder. To add another layer of difficulty to it, we were going to ask Wayne for information about one of our other suspects, Jessie Blackstone. I was glad that my grandfather was with me. This could get tricky, but between the two of us, maybe we’d figure out a way to get the truth out of one of our suspects.

It would make for a nice change of pace if we were successful this time.
