Chapter Fourteen

“Why in the world would you think that you can find out something about that murder at a candlelight vigil?” Divit came and stood face-to-face with Sunny. “Although, I can’t understand why you’d even try to solve it,” he said in an aside.

“Isn’t that what happens in the movies?” Sunny asked. “The killer always goes to the funeral. So if I want to find him or her, whatever the case may be, I need to go there, too.”

Sunny wasn’t sure if it was the words that the angel had said to her was motivating her – telling she was a “conqueror.” Or her actually seeing what inaction looked like, but something suddenly gave her a momentum that she’d never experienced before.

She didn’t understand what that angel had said, but for some reason she suddenly felt as if she could do it herself.

“Uh. Well. This isn’t a movie.” Divit shook his head. “And that girl had like two thousand Facebook friends. If all those people show up to the vigil, how do you think you’ll find a killer?”

“I’m sure most of those people don’t even live here,” Sunny said. She put her purse over her shoulder. “Facebook ‘friends’ aren’t people in your neighborhood.” Sunny went over to grab her purse. “I’ve got to go and get ready.”

“Wait. Slow down.” Divit licked his lips. “I don’t know, Sunny,” Divit shook his head. “If you go to that thing you might get killed.”

“How?” Sunny said. She walked over and picked her coat up off of Divit’s bed and put it on.

“What if the killer recognizes you? You wouldn’t know who he was because you didn’t see him. But he could just come up from behind you and stab you or something.”

“How would he recognize me?”

“You didn’t see him yesterday, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t see you.”

That made Sunny pause. “Look,” she said and let out a sigh. “Didn’t you just tell me,” Sunny held out her hand, “that I need to do something?”

“I surely didn’t mean anything like this,” he said. “Just wait for your angel to help you.”

“You’ve got to be kidding,” Sunny said. “He’s the reason I’m doing this.”

“What? What does that mean? He’s here to help you. You heard him, he said God sent him.”

“God couldn’t have sent him to help me,” Sunny said. “He is just one more thing that irritates me.”

“One more? What else?”

“You,” Sunny said. “Always the naysayer. Telling me I need to do something, then telling me I can’t. And that darn detective. How could he think I murdered someone just because I lost a lens cap?” She plopped down on the couch and covered her face. “All of this is making me worry unnecessarily. I mean,” she looked up at Divit. “I didn’t do anything.” She bent over and rested her head on her knees. “I could barely sleep last night. And then when I did get some rest is was only possible because I started thinking that the angel was going to help me.
