“I’m not doing this,” I said, crossing my arms in front of me. “Nuh-uh. Daisy can go to hell. The town can die and stay dead. Who cares that some yahoo country bumpkins hanged a giraffe? She probably had it coming. I mean, she killed a trainer. Live by the sword, die by the sword, baby. I’m out of here. Screw Daisy.”

“I’m not sure what I’m looking at,” Nora said. “And I’m afraid for you to tell me, Rocco.”

We were in the employees’ lounge. Two ladies with measuring tapes were standing next to Rocco, who was holding what looked like a BDSM outfit. I saw rubber and latex and a lot of straps.

“We ran into a snag with the giraffe saddle,” Rocco explained. “But never fear. This is going to work. It’s a custom-made sling. We’re going to measure you for it.”

“I’m going to ride a giraffe in a sling? A BDSM sling?”

“Right,” Nora said. “This can’t possibly go wrong.” She rolled her eyes for emphasis.

“I’m going to ride a giraffe in a BDSM sling?” I asked, again. “At a parade for the town to show that it’s wholesome and kind to animals?”

“I have to hand it to you,” Nora said to Rocco. “You’ve picked a genius way to fix Goodnight’s reputation.” She rolled her eyes again.

I had to get out of there, but I knew Rocco was going to argue the situation. So, I needed to bring in backup. I needed a diversion. “Kids, hamburger time!” I yelled. They ran in and yelled “hamburger!” over and over and pushed Nora and me out of the room, like they were a tsunami.

“Smart,” Nora said, as we walked out of the Daisy Home. “Faye said you were smart, and she was right. I’m glad you’re not crazy, too. That’s a plus.”

“Thanks,” I said, opening her van’s sliding door.

“I totally understand why you forgot to ask him about the murder,” she added.

I slapped my forehead. “Oh, no. I forgot to grill him. I was going to interrogate him about Wade and the cigars and Jimmy’s death. I’m a total failure.”

We got into the van. “Totally understandable,” Nora said, starting the van. “It was your first Daisy experience. It threw you. But now you have something over Rocco. He wants you to ride a giraffe in a kinky sex sling, and you want information. It’s a good trade.”

She had a point. I now had leverage. “But I’m never going to ride a giraffe in a kinky sex sling,” I said.

“Of course not. Nobody is. But Rocco doesn’t need to know that.”

“You’re a genius, Nora.”

“Thank you. Finally, somebody noticed.”
