Chapter 16

Brannon and I stood by the reference desk and watched as the Kendra roamed around the library. She pretended to peruse the shelves, but I didn’t believe she was interested in checking out the latest bestselling thriller or steamy romance.

I suppose Kendra sensed us watching her because she glanced over a couple of times. She forced a smile as if she knew what she was doing. but how long were we going to allow her to do this? How long would she do it before she finally got to the point of her visit? Why didn’t she just ask me the questions? I knew what she wanted for me. I had no idea about the murder, and I’d told her that. So why was she still harassing me? Her behavior was odd. I’d never seen someone so persistent.

She moved around behind one of the stacks and I lost sight of her. I frowned and exchanged a look with Brannon.

“What is she doing?” I mouthed.

“I think it’s time that we asked,” Brannon said in a lowered voice.

Brannon and I walked across the library floor. I wanted to hear this conversation. No way was I going to miss out. Finally, we spotted her by the side door. All of a sudden, she grabbed a book from the shelf, as if she hadn’t been up to something suspicious. What had she been doing over here?

“Oh, hello,” she said. “Just checking out the books.”

I couldn’t tell her that we were getting ready to close because technically there was still time left. However, I wanted to tell her to go away.

“Is there anything I can help you find?” I asked.

“No, I think I found what I’m looking for.” She held up the book.

A book about bathroom remodeling? That was what she was looking for? It seemed like an odd selection. She didn’t even have a library card. Was she going to sit down and read the book here?

“All right, Ms. Sims. Let’s just get to the point. We know you’re here to try to get information about the murder. Ms. Van Raden has told you she doesn’t have any information for you. If you would like to speak with the Police Department, feel free to stop by, but we have released as much as we can to the press.”

She frowned and I knew she was unhappy with what Brannon said.

She placed the book back on the shelf. “Well, I can see that I’m unwanted here at the library.”

“It’s not that. You can look at the books all you want, but you have to admit it is kind of strange for you to come in here after you’ve been harassing me.”

“Harassing you? I’m just trying to get to the truth. That’s my job. Finding the truth.”

“I don’t know what you mean by finding the truth,” I said.

“I think maybe it’s better that you leave,” Brannon said.

She glared at him and then at me. A second later she stomped around us and headed for the front of the library.
