Chapter 6

After spending a few more hours at the bookstore Darcy packed up Zane and Cha-Cha in the car and drove home. She didn’t live too far from the bookstore, so it only took a few minutes in the car. In her younger days she used to walk back and forth, or ride her bicycle, but now she was a mother. That job came with a lot of responsibilities, and often it meant packing those responsibilities up in a car to get from point A to point B.

Plus, she was anxious to get home. She couldn’t run down to the police station and show her photos to Jon because Colby would be getting off the bus at the house soon, and Zane needed her attention, and so did Cha-Cha. It was frustrating, even if she wouldn’t trade being a mother for all the time in the world. She could feel her heart rate rising in worry that she may not get it all done on time. Deep breaths, she told herself. When Jon came home she could show him then.

She might be able to attach the photos to a text message and send them to Jon, but she wasn’t confident that she knew how to do that. By the time she figured it out, Jon would be home already.

So, it could wait. It would have to. Everything in good time. She was doing this for Helen, she reminded herself. Helen needed justice. She needed people to know what had been done to her and to have the guilty person pay the price.

Darcy frowned at herself in the rearview mirror as she pulled into her driveway. She was angry, she realized. She had been angry all day but she had hidden it from Izzy and from her children and even from Jon. She’d snapped at Carson Everly, but then the man deserved it.

Especially since he was the one who… the one who had…

Funny. Now, as she sat there hoping to tell Jon exactly what she had found out, she couldn’t bring herself to say the words. Not even in her own mind.

Carson Everly had killed Helen. Those two words seemed so simple, and yet there was just so many emotions tangled up in them.

Anger was the second stage of grief. Right after denial. She’d gone through that one quickly because as hard as it was to imagine that Helen was gone, she had known right away that Jon was telling her the truth. He wouldn’t make something like that up. So denial had come and gone and since then, a spark of anger had grown into crackling flames in the pit of her stomach.

It was all so wrong. Helen dying of natural causes had been unfair to begin with. Now that she knew Helen had been murdered, it was that much worse. She couldn’t sit back and let that go unpunished.

Why should she? How many people had she helped by investigating murder mysteries? Friends, and family, and people she didn’t even know, too.
