THE CEREMONY WAS ALMOST over. Pastor Henrietta was presenting the couple to the crowd when Granny noticed Angel slinking out the back door trying not to be seen.

Granny frowned and decided she’d better follow her granddaughter, although her backyard was a safe haven of trees and flowers. But why would Angel leave the ceremony?

Turning to Silas, she said with fake tears in her eyes, “I need a moment. This is just overwhelming. I need to go to my backyard and sit in my trees and remember Sally. It always calms me down.” Granny was referring to Sally Catilda who used to be her neighbor living where the shysters home now was. Sally had died giving her life for her lawn.

Silas nodded. “I know this is tough for you but think of it this way, you don’t have to do any matchmaking for your children anymore. They’re all married.”

Granny bolted for the back door ignoring what Silas said.

Angel stood by the fence at the back of the yard. She sidled close to the ramp that was there for the shysters to go over the fence into the cemetery. Granny saw her put one foot on the ramp.

“Angel, Angel! Stop right there. What are you doing?”

“I saws Mr. George, Granny. He was watching the wedding through the window in your back door. He went this way.”

“Angel, are you sure you saw George?”

“I did. I did. It was him and he disappeared back here. I saw him through the trees.”

“Take my hand and come back in the house. I will look for him later. Right now your mom and Thor will be concerned and you don’t want to miss the cake for the wedding.”

Angel took her hand. “We need to talk, Granny. I haves some more clues.”

“I thought I told you to let me handle this,” Granny chastised her granddaughter.

“Yes, but I didn’t do anything dangerous. I sat down to play with the Little White Poodle and to hold Fish on my lap while Mr. Pigster and Baskerville were digging at the brick on the side of The Ecstatic Emporium and I know I heard someone yelling like they were having a fight, but I didn’t see anyone.”

Granny looked at her little granddaughter. “Maybe it was someone across the street.”

“Maybe...but I could hardly hear it because of the noise Mr. Pigster was making, grunting as he was pushing his nose into the crack at the bottom of the brick wall. I put my ear up against the wall and I could hear it.”

“Are you sure?”

“Well, I thinks so but then Uncle Abraham came and started yelling, “Lock them up. Lock them up.” He was talking about the shysters and he had something in his hands that looked like he was going to aim it at them so I pushed the shysters and ran up to Uncle Abraham and hugged him by the legs so he couldn’t aim it at Mr. Pigster who he was pointing it at.”

“Is that right?” Thank you for telling me that, Angel.
