“Yes, temporary,” Wyatt repeated.

“All in favor?” Mayor Ryland lifted both of his hands.

“Stop!” Doolittle Bowman tugged on the edges of her short brown hair and pushed her glasses up on her long nose. She held one of the pieces of paper she was shuffling up in front of her face. “The jailer can’t hold any more than one elected position.”

A low rumble of mumbling came from the crowd.

“Ya know, if Wyatt can’t be appointed deputy because he is jailer,” I heard Poppa’s voice above the hushed whispers of the crowd, “you seem kinda fond of that young whipper-snapper. Maybe he should be appointed temporary deputy. Y’all seem to talk over the evidence pretty good.”

Poppa was right, even if he was joking around about me thinking Finn was cute. If Wyatt couldn’t do it, I might as well see if Finn could.

“Finn.” Why not? He was there. He was already helping out. He might as well stay.

Finn asked. “Are you sure you are okay?”

“Mayor.” I walked up to the stage and motioned for Mayor Ryland to bend down. “What about Finn Vincent? He is already here from the Reserves and he knows the case.”

The banging gavel shushed the crowd back down into their seats.

“What about a Reserve Officer?” he asked Doolittle.

She flipped and flipped some more. Finally, she looked up and shrugged.

“That’s it.” Mayor banged the gavel again. “I hereby appoint Finn Vincent interim Deputy Sheriff of Cottonwood.”

“But…” Finn stumbled. “I can’t…”

“We’ll have you out of here in no time.” I patted his arm and smiled.
