Chapter 17

“I want the doughnuts. Sal evil man for to keep away the doughnuts.” Abuelita would scorn anyone who dared deny her sweet tooth satisfaction. She didn’t need to be persuaded to go along with my plan.

I looked at Mammy and Tia Rosa. While I was convinced Sal had made good on his threats and had stolen my mixer, I needed our decision to be unanimous. If there were any doubts, I was open to suggestions.

Abuelita smacked her fist against her palm. “He do it. I feel it in the gut. I bet he steal the jewelry and the many painting, too. Sal is the thief!”

I loved her enthusiasm even if it was a bit far-fetched. Sal Lopez a jewel thief? Nah.

It was a good reminder for me to make good on my promise to help Miss Patty though. Once I got my mixer back, I’d focus all of my energy on the stolen pictures and help Eduardo. Angry Art Man would lead me to them, I was certain.

Tia Rosa scrunched her face at her sister. “You think Sal is jewel thief? He no handsome like Cary Grant.”

Though our reasons differed, Tia Rosa thought it as likely as I did. Then again, both Patricio and Gus had said that whoever had broken into my shop was no amateur. They’d broken the glass without being heard and had covered their shoes so as not to leave tread prints. Could it be possible? Was Sal a worse thief than I gave him credit for? I was angry enough at him to believe him capable of being a master burglar.

“So, do we all agree? Did Sal steal the mixer?” I repeated.

Tia Rosa said, “He only person in Baños no is happy with you doughnuts, Jessica. I agree. I think he do it.”

Mammy rubbed her hands together, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. “How do you plan to get it back?”

They were in! My mixer was as good as mine again.
