Chapter Ten

The alarm went off way too early. Normally, I’d hit the snooze button a few times before I got out of bed, but not today! Being the number-one suspect in a murder investigation and really wanting to get out of town to gather more clues for your case were motivation to get up.

Plus, Mazie was already standing at my door with a cup of coffee in hand.

“Bea Allen is sabotaging Eternal Slumber,” I groaned in the passenger seat of Mazie’s car when we passed Burns Funeral on our way to Lexington.

I was happy to accept her offer to drive. It was hard to be in disguise when you drove a hearse. There was no way I wanted to attract any attention to myself at the psychic convention.

“She’s gotten so ruthless since she moved back. They keep trying to get her to join the Auxiliary, and I keep voting her down.” Mazie was good at driving with one hand and drinking her coffee with the other. “It’s a unanimous and anonymous voting system.”

“No wonder they never want to let me in.” I took a drink of the coffee. “I’m sure it’s Beulah who votes me out,” I laughed. “Though I was close to getting in after my trial period.”

“Really it’s just a big gossip session.” She didn’t tell me anything I didn’t already know because I’d been the brunt of their gossip circle many times. “What’s our plan today?”

“I want to check out a list of psychics at the convention. Debbie gave me a few names, and she said they would be good ones that might not like her too much.” I’d not seen Debbie since last night. “I don’t have any solid facts about them. I wanted to ask Debbie about each of them, but when I got home last night, Jack Henry was there, and he’s not wanting me to snoop since I’m a suspect.”

“That’s why you should snoop.” Mazie and I had the same thoughts.

There was a lot more chitchat on our forty-five-minute drive to Lexington about different things. We changed from subject to subject. It was nice to finally have a friend I could just talk to.

“Where’s the list?” Mazie drove around the parking lot of the convention center until she finally found a parking spot in the very last row.

I dug into my purse to pull out Purdy’s memorial card.

“I think we should split up the names and find them on our own. And I’ll run them through my library database.” She ripped the memorial card in half, giving me Goddess Jillian and Mystic Mervin. She took Warrioress Roma and Angela Ariel. “These names,” Mazie giggled and unhooked the seat belt.

“I can’t get over how busy this place is already.” I noted the time as exactly seven a.m., opening time. There was a line out the door and around the building as the crowd trickled in the entrance. “Oh!” I jumped with excitement. “I almost forgot to tell you how Debbie told me Fluggie Callahan was a regular client.
