Chapter Twenty

Colin Pritchard, good looking man that he was, looked even better in his civvies.

After we got rid of Bay, which took the better part of an hour, I drove Miss Vivee to the Sheriff’s office to find Colin. She had packed foot soak powder for the Sheriff’s injury, and some salve for Colin’s hand. She’d made both from roots and leaves. I didn’t understand why she couldn’t just go to Hadley’s and get a tube of Bacitracin for each of them.

And in addition of the salve, she also was packing a slew of questions for Colin. But we soon found that he wasn’t at the Sheriff’s office. He was going on a fishing trip for the next three days.

How do you go fishing in the middle of a murder investigation?

But of course Colin not being at the office didn’t put a dent in Miss Vivee’s sail. We left the healing powder for the Sheriff, and then drove to Colin’s house. And I’m sure if he hadn’t of been there, we would have gone on our own fishing trip to find him.

When we arrived at his house, a small white, one story, we found him loading up his black pick-up truck. He had on a pair of straight legged jeans and a light blue denim shirt that looked like it was made for him. With looks like his, I was thinking that I could look past the “he’s so dumb” part. Although, the jury was still out on that one for me anyway. Who lets a man, without some level of intelligence, be a deputy? Maybe Miss Vivee over exaggerated about his lack of mental capabilities.

I was willing to take a chance. And I knew, that would make my daddy happy – me giving Colin a chance. I needed to use my energy on something other than being a good an archaeologist as my mother.

All I needed was to get up the courage to make a pass at him . . .

Once we found Colin, Miss Vivee didn’t waste any time trying to get the information she needed from him. She handed him the salve at the same time she handed him her first question.

“What do you know about Gemma Burke during the time she lived in Atlanta?” she asked.

“I really can’t tell you anything, Miss Vivee. It’s an open investigation. The Sheriff would be really upset with me.”

“I just want to know what she did when she was in Atlanta,” Miss Vivee said. “How would that compromise your investigation? Especially if it was Renmar’s bouillabaisse that killed her.”

“Why do you want to know, anyway?” he said his eyes going from me back to Miss Vivee. “What are you two up to?” He placed fishing rods and a large white bucket in the bed of the truck. “Is this something I should tell Sheriff Haynes?”

“We’re not up to anything,” I said and held up my hands. “Miss Vivee was just wondering.”

Miss Vivee wasn’t coming up with any of her fantastical stories to tell Colin and I didn’t know quite what to say.
