Chapter 11
âI told you they killed Trudy and hightailed it out of town.â I didnât bother talking quietly while we followed the mayor and first lady of Perrysburg down the hall.
When they passed by people, they were treated like royalty. They smiled, waved, and shook hands as they walked. It was sickening.
âWe didnât kill anyone. If anything, Trudy helped save our marriage.â Jami pointed to the protein bar in the vending machine.
Hank was a good boy and got me my Funyuns and Ale 8. While Jami watched her weight, I watched her try to eat a protein bar with a straight face. By the looks of it, she didnât like the taste. The four of us sat on a bench across from the vending machine as Hank took notes and questioned them. When I tried to speak up, Hank would either shush me or put his hand out.
âTrudy left the phone in my car. I was going to return it, but weâd gotten news that she was killed. Jami said that if we returned it, it would look like I killed her. When I dropped Trudy off at the diner, she was alive and well.â Hunter didnât appear to be nervous. He was cool as a cucumber.
âHow long had you known Trudy?â I let a question slip past Hank. He didnât interrupt, so he seemed to be interested in Hunterâs answer.
âI came to town for my cousinâs wedding, as you know. I went into the diner to pick up some desserts my sister had ordered, and Trudy was telling me about her famous silk pie. She was full of life and kind. Jami had filed for divorce.â He put his hand on Jamiâs knee. I watched as she placed her hand on top of his. âTrudy said that Iâd have to let her know what everyone thought of her pies, and I said why donât you see for yourself and come as my plus-one.â He shrugged. âShe was nice enough to spend a little time with, and no one wants to go to a wedding alone. She didnât care one bit that my family was so put off because Iâd not even signed the divorce papers.â
Then it was Jamiâs turn to speak. âCourtney called me, and since Normal is only three hours away, I got myself a car service and made it to the reception about midway through. Iâm not happy with the scene I caused, but it made enough of an impression that Trudy wanted to leave. I waited in Hunterâs room at the Old Train Station Motel where I ordered room service to arrive when he got back.â Jami let out a long sigh. âIâm not going to say that Iâve forgiven Hunter for all of his little indiscretions, but I know I love him, and I want to try to make it work. Weâve hired a therapist, and I think we can do this.â
âDo you have proof of room service and where the two of you were
