Chapter 16

“We thought we’d give you an update,” Mercy said.

“It’s a good thing the lemonade missed your shoes and tights,” Shirley said. “You might want to let Mel know it’s there, though, or people will be tracking it into the café all afternoon.”

I might want to vault over the lemonade—or their heads—and run down the alley to get away from them. “What update?”

“On the McPhee-Rogalla rendezvous.”

“On Tuesday afternoon.”

“We know where they went.”

“Who they saw.”

“You look like a metronome,” Shirley said. “Does this help?” They’d been standing on opposite sides of Mel’s back landing. She moved over next to Mercy, giving me a single focal point. It did help.

“Where and who?” I asked.

“The courthouse,” Shirley said. “The Register of Deeds.”

“And then the bank,” said Mercy. “Rachel Meeks.”

That was so interesting that I looked the twins in their eyes and thanked them—sincerely. Their surprise at my sincerity said something about the usual tone of our interactions. Their surprise wasn’t quite enough to make me feel bad about that usual tone, because I was still suspicious of their motives. But when they shooed me along, saying they would tell Mel about the lemonade, I thanked them again, avoided the worst of the spill, and headed back to the Cat.
