Chapter 21

It was about noon when we got back to Sarasota. I was starting to learn the streets and exits. I also realized that I was starting to feel some mild affection for the area. It was so pretty and green and more spread out than Tampa was. Not to mention the proximity to the beach.

I made a mental note to drag Mom and Dad down here eventually…after all the werewolf stuff blew over.

Jed instructed the driver to go down a few streets, right down the street from a restaurant called Yoder’s. Wasn’t that the one that Xandra mentioned? We turned down another street and came to a stop a few miles down the road.

A few Amish ladies on their three-wheeled bikes rode by, their baskets between the two back wheels packed with paper grocery bags.

“Come on,” Jed said, getting out of the car, giving the driver a wad of cash. I thanked the driver, too and crawled out after Jed, leaving him to be on his way.

The house we were standing in front of was a tiny little place and it seemed quiet. It had a red tile roof and cream siding. Children were chasing each other around out back and a woman in a blue dress and white bonnet was hanging her washing on the drying line.

“Mrs. Kauffman?” Jed asked, making his way out around the house.

Did he have no manners? Shouldn’t he have knocked on the door, first?

Mrs. Kauffman, however, didn’t seem all that surprised that someone just waltzed into her backyard and started talking to her.

“You’re Obadiah’s boy, aren’t you?” she said, tossing a sheet over the line. She pulled a few pins from the pocket in her apron as the fabric flapped in the wind.

“Yes, ma’am,” he said with a polite nod. “My friend and I were hoping to speak to your husband. He saw what happened with Mr. Bauer last night, right?”

Mrs. Kauffman glanced at her children, both of which were under the age of five. They were squealing with delight, chasing each other in and out of the sheets, dresses and trousers on the line. “He should be inside,” she said, glancing over her shoulder.

Jed and I made our way to the screen door at the back of the house and I was very grateful, not for the first time, that I lived in a home with air conditioning. Sweat was already beading on my forehead.

All of the windows were open, letting in the heat and moisture. Gorgeous, handmade wooden furniture filled the house. A quilt was tossed over the back of the sofa, all checkered reds and greens and pinks. It smelled of furniture polish and warm bread.

“Mr. Kauffman?” Jed called.

A handsome man in his early thirties peeked his head around the corner from the next room. His eyes were a piercing green and his hair and eyebrows were as dark as coal. “Jed. Can I help you?”

“This is Cassie,” Jed said. “I brought her with me to ask you some questions.”

Mr. Kauffman looked back at Jed.
