Chapter Thirteen

The next morning came far too soon. Luna left to get ready for work while I was still baking. I drained the last bit of coffee from my cup, then refilled it, hoping my tired brain hadn’t forgotten any components of my recipes.

My phone buzzed as I was sliding the final tray of scones into the oven.

I spotted Logan’s name on the caller ID, then answered. “Yeah?”

“Someone got up on the wrong side of the broomstick this morning, didn’t she? I take it you didn’t have much luck with the animals?”

I leaned against the counter. “Oh no, we had plenty of luck, and Spooky is back. I only got a few hours of sleep.”

“Did I wake you?”

I knelt in front of the oven to watch the scones. “Nope, I had to get up early to bake for the cafe. What’s up?”

“Based on Martha’s suspicions, I did a little bit more research on Alex. He’s on the brink of bankruptcy.”

My eyebrows shot up. I looked to Spooky sitting on the table, watching me like he was actually listening to my words. “So you think he killed Martha so he could sell the gallery and save himself?”

“I’m not sure the gallery is worth enough to save him, but it’s a start. And Martha had left him her remaining holdings, minus the house going to Blake.”

I gnawed my lip, thinking it over. “Martha hadn’t mentioned that. I’ll ask her about it. She should be floating around here somewhere.”

“Let me know what she says. Now what happened with the animals?”

I rolled my eyes, though he couldn’t see it. “You only just shared this information with me because you wanted me to feel obligated into being honest with you, didn’t you?”

“Did it work, do you feel obligated?”

I wished he could see my glare. “Come by the cafe later, I’ll tell you in person.” After I talk with my sisters and figure out how much I should tell you, I added silently.

“I have a few things to wrap up, then I’ll see you there.”

We said our goodbyes and hung up, then I looked back to Spooky. “I hope you know you’re coming to work with me today on a leash.”

He narrowed his yellow eyes.

“No arguing,” I lectured, then looked down to the rat still in the cage. “We can drop you off on the way.”

He blinked his little black eyes. I was pretty sure he was just a normal rat again.

Martha popped up right beside me. “And then we can go see Blake.”

I raised a hand to my pounding heart. “Geez, don’t just pop up like that. Why do you want to go see Blake? And where have you been?”

She floated over to examine my packaged up muffins on the opposite counter. “I was following the detective, I heard his end of the conversation. I had completely forgotten the specifics of my will, I had it drawn up so long ago. I never told Alex that I left everything to him. But Blake did know he was getting the house.
