Tommy watched Karen head to the police car parked in the driveway.

“Man, no wonder you didn’t want me to know,” Jeff said as he crawled out from underneath the bed.

“You can’t tell anybody,” Tommy begged tearfully. “Addy’ll get mad at me. I promised her I wouldn’t tell you or Karen, and now I broke my promise.”

“Don’t worry, I’m keeping my mouth shut. Now that Deputy Kaczarowski knows, we don’t need to tell anybody else.”

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

Karen had been nursing her glass of beer for an hour at the Happy Harbor, letting it grow warm and fl at.

Sometimes she thought about Addy, other times about nothing at all. For the first time she didn’t know what to do, which unsettled her. In the army she simply followed orders but used her brain to make decisions regarding those orders. In civilian life, she still followed orders, but she had much more leeway to carry them out. She had to report her latest findings, but she didn’t want to.

She had known Addy and Tommy so long they were her family, even if Addy didn’t choose to view them that way. Karen could no more suspect them than she could her own mother.

But what had Tommy meant by keeping Vinson a secret? She couldn’t interrogate Tommy. She needed to talk to Addy, find out what he meant. But what about Addy’s behavior that day and her appearance of guilt? Was Karen missing something?

“If you don’t pick your chin up off my bar soon I’m going to lose every customer in the joint.” Dee-Dee swiped a bar towel across the surface, placing a coaster under Karen’s glass. “And keep the damn glass on a coaster, will ya? It’s bad enough the men put cigarette burns on the counter.”

Karen gazed at Dee-Dee as she sucked on her cigarette butt, letting the ashes drift to the floor. “Didn’t you give those up for Euell Gibbons?”

Dee-Dee snorted. “She kindly mentioned the cigarette smell to me. Of course, that was after the sex. But damn, she was awesome in bed.”

“Please, spare me the details.”

“What bug crawled up your ass tonight?”

“Aw, nothing.” Karen wished she could talk to someone.

“It’s Addy, isn’t it?”
