Chapter 12

When she came downstairs that morning, the stairs were stained but clean and the runner was gone. Indy stopped for a moment at the foot of the stairs to take a deep breath and push away the flash of last night's actions then continued on into the kitchen.

Travis and Harry were standing by the old coffee maker, drinking from mugs as they talked.

“Nothing happened after everyone left,” Harry was saying.

Travis noticed her at that moment. “Morning, Indy.”

“Travis, Harry.”

Her best friend raised an eyebrow at her calling his deputy by his first name and gave a little smile, making Harry bury himself in his coffee and his neck turn red.

Indy shook her head at her friend. She didn't know how she felt about Harry yet and really they barely knew each other. “Behave, Trav. It's beginning stages yet.”

Travis raised his hands, still holding his mug, then took a sip of coffee before looking at Harry. “I've got it now if you want to go.”

“Or you can stay for breakfast,” Indy said as she headed for the refrigerator. “I have to make this guy breakfast anyway.”

There was silence for a second then Harry said, “Okay.”

She pulled out a bag of frozen pancakes and turned her head to look at him with a raised eyebrow. When he just shrugged and looked at his mug, she shook her head and closed the freezer. He had probably looked at Travis who probably returned the look. Men. Anyway she moved to the microwave and pulled out some plates from the cabinet above. “You can get the syrup, Trav, instead of just standing there.”

“Right.” He retrieved the syrup from the pantry and set it on the table before sitting down on one of the chairs.

Harry joined him at the table and sat beside him.

Indy popped three pancakes on each of the three plates then stuck one in the microwave. She leaned against the counter and looked at Travis and Harry. “Did you catch Kevin Caffrety?”

Harry shook his head. “When Doug and I got there, Caffrety was sitting on the porch with his rifle and told us to leave. We heard a 4-wheeler start up and race away and by the time we got around Caffrety it was long gone. But Sara had followed the truck to the back of Caffrety's place, however by the time she got out of her vehicle and headed in, the 4 wheeler took off into the woods. She was sure it was Kevin.”

“Got a warrant out for his arrest and I sent out two deputies to look for him specifically,” Travis added. “Caffrety of course is causing a fuss, saying we're doing this to sabotage the election and none of his sons would ever try to hurt anyone.”

Harry snorted at that one. “The sheer amount of arrests for assault his son Kory has says that's a lie. Kevin was only arrested three times, mainly to do with the dog fighting but this last time was for assault. They'd both be in jail if Daddy wasn't a 'good ole boy' and didn't have pull.
