Chapter 16

Thomas and I managed to get to our feet. The car had sped away.

“Did you get a good look at it?” Thomas asked as he brushed the dirt from his pants.

I pushed the hair out of my eyes. “Other than it was black, no, not really. It was so fast and my face was smashed into the dirt.”

“I can’t believe you saved me. Are you all right?”

“I think I’m fine, nothing’s broken,” I said as I moved my arms around.

“You think that person did it on purpose?” he asked.

“Yes, I think so. I just feel like they accelerated once they got close to us. That’s why I heard the sound.”

“I guess I was preoccupied thinking about what I’m having for lunch. Do you think it was the woman we just talked to?”

“I suppose it could’ve been, but what would be her motive?” I asked.

“Well, it could be something associated with the book that she doesn’t want us to find out,” Thomas said.

Thomas and I hurried the rest of the way to the driveway before the car came back and finished the job.

“I’m going to look into this more. I have to find out if the neighbor is really on a trip and if that woman is supposed to be there. One way or another I’ll find out who she is,” I said.

“You should tell the police about this.”

“Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s anything they can do, since I didn’t get a great description of the car and no license plate number. We’ll have to be on the lookout though.”

“I could go back over there and see if the woman has a black car. I’ll go in cat form again.”

“That’s a good idea,” I said as we walked down the driveway toward the manor.

“Other than encountering the strange woman, how did the visit to the Bubbling Cauldron go?” Thomas asked.

“I didn’t find out much because the trip was paused when you called and told me what you learned.”

“Sorry about that. I just thought you should know.”

“Oh, no, it was much more important that you called me. When I got to the club it was empty and dark. Paul was at the back. It is kind of creepy the way he came out of the office.”

“Where were the former owners?” Thomas asked.

“He’d already signed the paperwork. Then he said they had just stepped away and would be right back.”

“What if he actually killed them, never bought the club and just took it over?” Thomas said.

“That’s quite an imagination you have,” I said.

He shrugged. “Stranger things have happened.”

“I agree that it would be creepy, but I’m sure they’re probably already back at the club.”

“You’ll never know if they showed up or not.”

“I’ll call then,” I said.

“Don’t do it on my account,” he said.

I rolled my eyes. “I won’t, trust me.”

As we headed inside the manor, Thomas stopped on the porch. “I think I’m going go over there now.”

“Just be careful,” I said. “And hurry. I’ll fix us lunch.”

“Tuna sandwich?” he asked with a thumbs up.
