Chapter 35

I took turns watching John Robert and Jackie, trying to put the Ren faire puzzle together. He had been at the faire in costume before the joust. She was a Rennie (and a man). Riley’s horse ended up here at the ranch. There had to be a connection, but what?

Maybe Jackie could tell me.

When we had a break, I began a conversation with Hayden, watching for my chance. As soon as Jackie left the theater I excused myself and followed her. When she went into the powder room I crowded in behind her and shut the door. When she turned, I grabbed her hands and peeled the glove off one of them. “Man hands!” I said. “I knew it was you I saw yesterday.”

“Give me my glove,” Jackie hissed.

I held my cotton treasure aloft. “Only if you promise to tell me what’s going on.”

“If I tell...” Jackie’s mask crumpled for just a second, revealing a vulnerable face beneath it.

Sometimes I hated being a PI.

“If I tell you,” she said, her voice more under control. “Will you promise not to tell?”

“I promise,” I lied. Yeah, hated it.

“We can’t talk here. Follow me after rehearsal. My place isn’t far. Now...” Jackie was a first lady again, straight-backed with a little ice to her elegance. “Please return my glove to me.”
