CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

Not only were George, Franklin, and Ella waiting for the women at the police station, but so were reporters from the Fuchsia Flash newspaper. The reporters brought along their photographers. A couple of policemen were waiting to escort the women into the station and protect them from the reporters.

“My, that was fun!” Mavis remarked. She hadn’t been able to resist flashing a few poses for the reporters as if she were a real reality star.

“Why were they here?” Granny asked Thor who was waiting for her inside the door.

“They heard about Justine’s death at the factory last night, along with the deaths at the farm and that all the deaths were connected to Amelia.”

Granny frowned. “And that’s big news? Usually our local newspapers don’t publish much murder and mayhem. They like to keep our town pink and perky. They feel gruesome things are the cops’ business.”

The Tall Guy joined them to escort Granny and her friends further back into the building. “Apparently,” he said to her as they walked, “your sister Amelia is quite famous when it comes to business. Amelia Blackford is a name to be reckoned with. You didn’t know that?”

Pastor Henrietta saved Granny from answering, stopping the group and saying, “I’m leaving, Granny. If you need any pastoral support, please call me. I’d be happy to counsel you some more.” Henrietta then turned to the Tall Guy and said, “And if you need my services helping out with this situation, I’ll be at the church preparing for Justine’s funeral.”

“Where’s the pastor going?” Granny demanded to know.

“Home, why?” Thor questioned.

“Why are the rest of us still here and she gets to go home?” Granny asked.

Lulu interrupted the conversation by touching Granny’s arm, “I’ll talk to you later, Granny. I must get my quilt shop opened.”

Granny watched Lulu walk out the door. “She gets to go home too?” Turning around, she saw George and Ella talking to two police officers while Mavis and Delight could be seen through the glass of Thor’s office being questioned. Amelia was nowhere in sight.

“Let’s go talk in my office, Hermiony.” The Tall Guy motioned for Granny to proceed him down the hallway.

“You didn’t answer my question,” Granny insisted.

“Mom,” Thor said, “Mavis and Delight are here because George and Ella reported them missing.”

Granny frowned. “Missing? They weren’t missing. They were with all of us.”

“Well, Mom, it’s not usual for them to stay out all night. In fact, the only other time it’s happened was when we had them here for questioning and we called their families then.” Thor’s exasperated tone made it evident that he was frustrated with his mother.

When they reached the Tall Guy’s office, Thor indicated to his mother that she should sit down. “Why am I here? I was just at a slumber party; nothing interesting there.”

The Tall Guy glanced at Thor and said, “Do you want to tell her or should I?”

Thor ran a hand across his eyes before looking at his mother. “Mom, your pitchfork was found at the scene of the crime.
