Chapter 15

“This place is opening next month.” Mercedes parked in front of the Coastal Adventure’s sign.

Beneath “Opening Soon,” was December 2020.

“No wonder Atlantic/Coastal is itching to finish purchasing the Tybee Island properties,” Carlita said. “They must have a small fortune tied up in this place.”

A cluster of shops, each decorated in a beach theme, dotted the grounds. A Ferris wheel and the top of what appeared to be a roller coaster were off in the distance. “I wonder if there are townhomes and condos for sale here.”

“The answer is a definite yes.” Mercedes pointed at a cluster of pastel-colored townhomes. A “Selling Now” sign was front and center. A tall hedge of meticulously manicured shrubs edged the sides and back. “Let’s have a look around.”

They circled the hedge and stepped onto a section of sidewalk, which ran along the busy road.

A sprawling single-story building was beyond the townhomes, and a “Sales Center” sidewalk sign was near the front door.

“It looks like they’re open.” Carlita held the door and followed Mercedes into the building.

The man behind a desk met them at the counter. “Welcome to Coastal Adventures. Can I help you?”

“We noticed you have townhomes for sale and wondered if we could get some information,” Carlita said.

“Of course. Please…have a seat.”

“We’re kind of in a hurry.” Carlita tightened her grip on her purse. “I’ll take whatever information you have with me.”

The man reached behind the counter and handed Carlita a brochure, similar to the one Kim Turbell had given her. “Our prices start in the low two hundreds for a two bed, two bath townhome. The units increase in size and price, the closer you get to the water.”

Carlita flipped the brochure open and scanned its contents. “We also noticed an entertainment complex down the street that’s opening soon.”

“Next month. Do you live around here?”

“No,” Mercedes answered. “We live in Savannah and noticed your signs on Tybee Island, as well. Are townhomes available there too?”

“We.” The sales representative cleared his throat. “Those probably won’t start selling until sometime next year. This project is wrapping up first, followed by St. Simons Island, Georgia. Tybee Island will be last.”

“Is there a contact person for that location?” Carlita thought about Turbell.

“There is. Let me find out who that would be.” The man returned to his desk and leaned in to study his computer screen. “Kim Turbell runs the Tybee Island sales center. She’ll be able to help you with more information.”

It was apparent the man had no idea Turbell had died, which Carlita found interesting. “I’ll be sure to check with her.” She thanked him for the information and waited until Mercedes and she were out of the building before speaking. “He has no idea the woman is dead.”

“Unless he just wasn’t saying anything.” Mercedes pursed her lips. “I’m not sure how helpful this trip to St. Augustine was. We couldn’t convince Elvira to return home. We have no idea who owns the other properties on Tybee.”

“It’s not a complete loss. She did give us some limited contact information.
