“Come on,” Flora tugged on Sophie’s arm. “Let’s get outta here.”

Sophie bid Kiki goodbye but as she walked away, Kiki was still focused on Marlene.

“Four husbands,” Kiki muttered. The rain was smearing her make up. “I hate to think poor Louie might be number five.”

The next day dawned sun kissed and radiant. The sky was brilliant blue and cloudless. The aquamarine ocean beyond their front door was so crystal clear Em could see every grain of sand on the bottom.

She took advantage of the perfect morning to work out with a swim. Afterward she showered in Louie’s outdoor shower. One of her favorite luxuries of living in the tropics was showering behind the tall bamboo wall he had built around a showerhead on an exterior lava rock wall. He’d filled the interior garden with ferns, flowers, and hanging orchids.

As she stood on the shore, towel-drying her hair and wondering why Roland Sharpe hadn’t returned her calls, she watched the gentle lap of the waves against slabs of worn rock that lined the beach. Louie walked out of the house and brought her a tall ice tea.

“Louie,” she hoped she got an answer that made sense. “What were you looking for the day you went into Harold’s house?”

“Harold’s house? When?”

“When Sophie had to bring you out and Leilani showed up. You said you were after something of yours.”

“I did?”

“This is serious, Louie. Think.” This was no laughing matter. He’d been at two murder scenes in three weeks.

Then again, so had she. So had most of the Hula Maidens.

“You can remember how to mix every drink in that Booze Bible of yours. Surely you can remember why you snuck into Harold’s place.”

“Sometimes my ship is out of port, I guess.”

Em sighed and thought, way out of port. She downed the rest of the ice tea and polished off the mint sprig. Calling Harold’s client list had proven to be a dead end so far. Kiki, MyBob, and Flora had nothing to report other than the fact that some of Harold’s clients had found a stray marijuana plant or two hidden in their gardens.
