Our romantic stroll on the beach was a rehash of what we knew. Jiff brought it up. I’m usually the one who can’t let go of the puzzle until I find an answer. He’s just as bad since, as a criminal attorney, he has to try to figure out who else might have done it if he wants to get his client off the hook. It was refreshing to work with someone like him to try to figure it out. He always respected my input and even if he disagreed with me, he explained why and sometimes he changed his mind back to my way of thinking.

“So, let’s think about what we know or think we know,” he said. “We find a girl dead on the beach, with a dog leash around her wrist and the leash lets us know the dog’s name is Rascal. We find the dog, coincidentally, with the name Rascal on the collar that matches the leash the same evening we take a sunset sail and I know the owner of the boat. Daniel is jumped by the same two at the bar. They were trying to take the dog. Then you find those flash drives. One of the entries on the flash drive matches a boat slip number to some local businessman here.”

“Yes. I’m glad we found Rascal. But what’s bothering me is the course of events after we found him. If we had been five minutes late, those two guys who mugged Daniel would have taken him,” I said.

Jiff added, “How did they find Rascal at that boat? His owner was killed at least twenty miles from that marina even if he did say he went into Fort Walton or Destin to pick up parts.”

“How did those two guys come to your condo in your building knowing we had Rascal? Who knew we had him? The couple on the boat who helped us, Daniel, you, me. The police? Harbormaster?” I asked out loud. I had more questions than either of us had answers.

“If the gal we met this morning is Abby and not Ashley, why didn’t she want her dog back or at least to see him and make sure he wasn’t hurt? The fact that she didn’t—if it was her dog—is kinda bothering me, but I’m just glad he’s with us in a safe place. If it really was Ashley, why didn’t she want to see her sister’s dog to make sure he was not harmed, and why didn’t she want to keep him? It seems like the sort of thing you would do for your sister who was murdered—take care of her pet as a connection.”

“Yeah, I’d want to see Isabella one last time. I’d have to confirm she was not hurt if I was letting her go to another home, or if someone close to me was killed and she was their dog. We’ve not paid attention to the dead girl or why someone wanted her dead. The sister who found us, and how did she do that by the way? She told us the ex-husband in New York did it.
