Chapter 8

Sonja had wanted to go out for brunch with Frank at a new little cafe on Main Street, seeing as their entire day had been derailed, but adding the cat to the mix meant that was off the table. They'd have to head home and make sure the animal was comfortable there.

Thankfully, in all the chaos, she'd remembered to call her parents to let them know that the day's sale was off for the time being. She'd hate to have to explain to them later why she'd neglected to warn them off from stumbling into a police crime scene.

After all, it wasn't like they'd even be able to move the garage sale somewhere else. All the stuff they were trying to sell was cordoned off with the body. She wondered when they'd be able to continue the garage sale. It might have to be postponed until the next week, if not farther out.

Mostly, she just hoped that the blame didn't end up getting pointed at Frank. Of course, she had a hard time imagining Jameson committing the murder either. Besides, what possible reason could he have for killing this seemingly random woman?

Could he have known her, or had some sort of negative run-in with her, back for the short period she was living in Haunted Falls to be close to Frank?

It seemed like a stretch, but it was possible she supposed.

Of course, it was also possible that at least a few other people in town knew her and had a history with her. Heck, even Sonja's own mother remembered her. However, who could have had a connection to her--enough of one that it warranted murder?

More than anything, the most important fact was that Frank believed someone killed her. This allergic reaction, in his estimation, was no accident.

Sonja fully trusted his gut feeling, just as she trusted him to put faith in her own supernatural inklings. Arriving at the Smith Estate and pulling up to the cottage, she shook the jumble of thoughts from her brain. Dwelling on them wouldn't help anyone, and she and Frank weren't investigating this case.

There was no need to stress over it until the police contacted them again for information.

Surely, if there truly was some form of foul play, the state detectives would figure it out and pin down the killer.

"Welcome to your new home," Frank declared, letting the cat out of the car.

Oh, no, Sonja thought. He was getting emotionally attached to the cat. If she didn't know any better, she would have sworn a thousand times up and down that her husband was a dog guy. Of course, being a dog person never stopped someone from also enjoying cats or vice versa.

Still, there was something special about this feline. It was almost as if it knew them, had chosen them. She'd heard of animals adopting their owners, in a sense. In her experience, all that meant was that you had a special connection with the animal while you were shopping around for a new pet.
