Chapter 11

“I told you they killed Trudy and hightailed it out of town.” I didn’t bother talking quietly while we followed the mayor and first lady of Perrysburg down the hall.

When they passed by people, they were treated like royalty. They smiled, waved, and shook hands as they walked. It was sickening.

“We didn’t kill anyone. If anything, Trudy helped save our marriage.” Jami pointed to the protein bar in the vending machine.

Hank was a good boy and got me my Funyuns and Ale 8. While Jami watched her weight, I watched her try to eat a protein bar with a straight face. By the looks of it, she didn’t like the taste. The four of us sat on a bench across from the vending machine as Hank took notes and questioned them. When I tried to speak up, Hank would either shush me or put his hand out.

“Trudy left the phone in my car. I was going to return it, but we’d gotten news that she was killed. Jami said that if we returned it, it would look like I killed her. When I dropped Trudy off at the diner, she was alive and well.” Hunter didn’t appear to be nervous. He was cool as a cucumber.

“How long had you known Trudy?” I let a question slip past Hank. He didn’t interrupt, so he seemed to be interested in Hunter’s answer.

“I came to town for my cousin’s wedding, as you know. I went into the diner to pick up some desserts my sister had ordered, and Trudy was telling me about her famous silk pie. She was full of life and kind. Jami had filed for divorce.” He put his hand on Jami’s knee. I watched as she placed her hand on top of his. “Trudy said that I’d have to let her know what everyone thought of her pies, and I said why don’t you see for yourself and come as my plus-one.” He shrugged. “She was nice enough to spend a little time with, and no one wants to go to a wedding alone. She didn’t care one bit that my family was so put off because I’d not even signed the divorce papers.”

Then it was Jami’s turn to speak. “Courtney called me, and since Normal is only three hours away, I got myself a car service and made it to the reception about midway through. I’m not happy with the scene I caused, but it made enough of an impression that Trudy wanted to leave. I waited in Hunter’s room at the Old Train Station Motel where I ordered room service to arrive when he got back.” Jami let out a long sigh. “I’m not going to say that I’ve forgiven Hunter for all of his little indiscretions, but I know I love him, and I want to try to make it work. We’ve hired a therapist, and I think we can do this.”

“Do you have proof of room service and where the two of you were
