Chapter Eleven

It was late. Oscar had come back to the camp and woke up all the Audubon members. None of them seemed extremely upset, though Paris and Tammy did shed a tear. Webster mumbled something about Adam getting what he deserved, and Cindy remained tight lipped.

Instead of making the members of the Audubon Society head to the station, Oscar and Colton had given them warnings not to leave Whispering Falls until the group members had given them statements.

“What about the sighting?” Cindy looked at Oscar. “We are here to do the Spangled sighting. He wasn’t even part of our group. So why do we have to suffer?”

Her lack of empathy didn’t surprise me, since I’d been able to watch her body language toward Adam. In my head, I put her at the top of the suspect list.

“If the Spangled is in Whispering Falls, you’ll be able to camp out another time.” He didn’t leave any room for more discussion. “Petunia, can you please lead the group back to the Full Moon Treesort while Colton and I check out the campsite?”

Petunia nodded.

“I need everyone to leave all of their equipment here.” Oscar’s words were met with groans and moans.

“I’m not leaving my camera here.” Webster’s jaw tensed.

“That’s fine.” Oscar pointed from Colton to Webster. “Colton, do you mind taking his camera and putting it in an evidence bag?”

“Evidence bag?” Webster seemed offended. “Why do you think it’s evidence?”

“All the cameras might have some photos on there leading up to Adam’s death.” Oscar watched as Colton practically pried the camera from Webster.

“You better be careful. That’s a five thousand-dollar camera.” When Colton took the equipment bag, Webster sighed even louder. “That’s got at least ten thousand dollars worth of equipment in there. Be careful.”

Not long after that, Oscar and I went home.

“We will revisit all of this in the morning.” Oscar suggested we go home for the night. I thought it was a great idea. “It’s too dark to see.”

The familiar smell of home curled around my nose, giving me the first real sense that I was safe.

“Any of them could be the killer,” I told him and fell down into the fluffy couch in the combination family room and kitchen. “But I do think Cindy is hiding something.”

“Like what?” Oscar pulled his tucked sheriff’s shirt out of his pants and started to unbutton it.

“I’m not sure, but she really dislikes Adam. It was all over her face.” I recalled a few times I’d seen her glaring at him. “Did you notice she was the only female who didn’t shed a single tear or even gasp at the fact he was murdered?”

“We will definitely be digging into all of their backgrounds and see who was connected to Adam.” Oscar always started investigations with people’s backgrounds. It was the most logical place to start.

Me… I might’ve just laid into Cindy to see how she knew Adam and not waste my time looking into her. That was why Oscar was the cop and not me.
