Chapter 11

“You see anything yet?” Dottie had called my cell after we’d been waiting a couple of hours.

“No. Not a thing. Not even a squirrel trying to dig up a nut for winter.” It had been very quiet. Even the few car show participants staying in the campground hadn’t come out. “But I expect all that will change with it getting close to suppertime.”

“Henry came in here a few minutes ago and had the security guy on speakerphone. He talked Henry around all them wires, and don’t you know that when me and you was in that closet all squeezed in that’s when it fell, the hardwire popped out, and that’s why it wasn’t working.” Dottie laughed. “Ah-oh. Hank just pulled up.”

“I’ll be right there.” I hated leaving my post in case the killer did come back, but I didn’t want to give Hank any inkling I was messing with the investigation because he would be mad as a wet hen. “Hey!” I yelled to get his attention when he didn’t see me at first.

“There you are.” He had a big smile on his face. “I called a couple of times.”

“You did?” I pulled my phone out of my pocket and acted like I didn’t realize I had my phone on silent because if the killer had come back, and even though I was in the building, I didn’t want to take a chance on the killer hearing my phone if they did come back to get the keys.

I flipped the notification button back on.

“Gosh. I didn’t hear it.” I returned his smile, leaning in to give him a kiss. “Any news on the case?” I asked.

“I decided to bring Hoss in to the station.” Hank looked over my shoulder toward the camper Hoss had rented for the week. “The judge granted me a warrant while I was talking to him. Jerry sent one of his deputies to take a look in Hoss’s hot rod for anything before we came here to look in the camper, and we found Wendell’s hot rod keys in there.”

“In where?” I questioned.

“In Hoss’s car at the car show. I guess he figured he could hide the evidence there and not be found. So we booked him.”

“Huh?” I was confused. “Does Lonie know?”

“Not yet. I told Ava to wait for me in the office with Lonie because I was coming home and going to clear the bungalow. She isn’t in there?” He looked at me funny. He took a step back and really took a good look at my face. “Don’t tell me you’ve done something.”

“Hank.” I tried to swallow the feeling that he was going to be really upset with me when he found out what I’d done. “I found the set of keys beyond the woods, tucked away in the root of a tree like someone put them there and was going to come back for them.”

“You did what?” He drew out the last word in his sentence as if he were trying to wrap his brain around what I’d done.
