Chapter Nine

I waited until the men had left with an agitated Dorothy before I said, “Come on, Eleanor. We need to do some investigating while the men are away.”

“Aww, but the Lennon Sisters are just set to go on, see, they’re about to announce it.”

“Fine, but only for a few numbers and then we have to leave, agreed?”

Eleanor and I sat down and the lights went dim, spotlights hitting the stage as the sisters sang, ‘May You Always.’

Eleanor and I swayed our bodies to the mellow tune.

“They certainly don’t make music like this anymore,” Eleanor said.

I nodded my head in agreement. I wished now that Andrew was here so we could enjoy listening to the sisters together. I then glanced at the program and saw that they’d be here tomorrow night, too.

Applause split the air and the Lennon Sisters began the first verse of ‘Easy to Remember.’ When I glanced around, I saw that even the younger passengers seemed to be enjoying listening to the music, the couples moving closer together. It was nice to see the appreciation of music from another time by all.

After the second song ended, I pulled Eleanor out of the atrium and she dragged her feet. “I don’t see why we have to leave.”

“Because we need to follow Ricky and Leo. They’re supposed to be in the billiard room. The Lennon Sisters will be performing tomorrow night, too, according to the schedule on the table.”

“That’s right,” Tasha said from behind us.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to get you into trouble with the captain by mentioning we met you outside when you were working one of the activities.”

She rolled her eyes. “Captain Hamilton needs to relax a little. I’m good at delegating, but I don’t do so by being uncaring or having the staff overwork, especially in the sunlight for extended periods of time.”

“So he did speak to you about it already?”

“Yes, and he was told in a nice way to let me do my job, my way.” She winked.

I really loved Tasha’s spunk and she seemed very nice.

“Which way is the billiard room?”

“You know that’s a man’s domain, right?”

“I like to play pool, too. Plus, I heard you can even smoke cigars in there.”

“Oh, I don’t see you as a cigar smoker,” Tasha said suspiciously. “But I’m not one to judge. My grandmother used to smoke a pipe until she became too sick. She passed away just last year and I can’t smell tobacco without thinking of her.”

“I’m so sorry for your loss,” Eleanor said.

“What a great story,” I added. “I bet she was a real character.”

“You have that one right, but she always kept a pack of Camels close by in case company came over.”

I laughed. “She sounds like my kind of woman. Could you please lead the way, now?”

“Oh, of course. And here I was blabbering on like a magpie.”

“Don’t you dare worry about that. We’re just trying to sneak off while our men are busy trying to get someone out of the casino.”

“I see.
