Chapter Seven

After all she’d just witnessed, Deanna couldn’t wait to get out of that store. Unfortunately, she had to stick around a little longer. She didn’t want to bail on a friend.

Amelia Brady looked shell-shocked. The entire bookstore seemed to be coming apart at the seams, right when Amelia was in the middle of her work shift.

Deanna tried to cut through the tension in the air. She figured a joke might be able to do the trick. Anything to get the look of shock off of Amelia’s face.

“At least it’s a quiet day, huh?” Deanna joked.

Deanna’s plan didn’t work. Amelia was so tense that she didn’t even crack a smile.

“There’s no such thing as a quiet day around here,” Amelia replied. She then groaned. “Why couldn’t this have happened on my day off?”

Deanna once again tried to bring levity to the situation. “Look at it this way—things can’t get any worse.”

Amelia didn’t seem too convinced of that.

As Kenneth approached Amelia, it appeared that Deanna had spoken too soon.

Kenneth wasted no time. He stared Amelia down.

“We need to have that talk now,” he insisted.

Amelia looked like she’d rather be any other place in the entire world at that moment. She tried to talk her way out of this situation.

“But I’m due for a lunch break,” Amelia said.

Deanna added to Amelia’s story. “Yeah, I’m treating her to a meal at Joe’s Diner.”

“It’ll have to wait. My office, now!” Kenneth insisted.

Amelia gulped. “Yes, boss.”

Amelia then followed Kenneth back to his office with a look of impending doom on her face.
