When we drove away in Digby's squad car my heart was pounding so fast that I thought it would be bad for my health. Dora noticed it. "Is everything all right, Miss Molly Gertrude?"

"I didn't go to the bathroom at all," I answered.

Dora gasped and while Digby kept on driving, I could tell his mind was no longer on the road, which was dangerous.

"I wanted to," I said, but when I came to the bathroom, I noticed the door to a bedroom that was open. There, on the bed was an open briefcase. Probably Peter Brogue's."

"And?"

"I snuck in," I answered. "I just couldn't resist the temptation."

"Why would you such a thing," Digby asked without taking his eyes off the road. "A thing like that is highly illegal."

"I know," I agreed, "but think, Digby. If Samuel Given was indeed murdered, which I think he was, then every detail is important." I thought for a moment trying to find the right words. "Why, for example, was Samuel Given's briefcase open in Cabin 24? Why were the contents spread out over the floor? We know that Peter Brogue did threaten Samuel over the phone. We have proof of that.

What if Samuel's death has something to do with the Trust and

Peter's hope to become the main administrator? We are talking about a lot of money."

Dora nodded and Digby grunted an 'it's possible.'

"Anyway," I continued, "when I saw the briefcase I just took my chances. And what did I find?"

"What?"

"Papers that looked identical to the papers I saw on the floor in Cabin 24. Papers that dealt with the ownership of the Trust, all stamped with Samuel Given's personal stamp. I could not read them so fast, as it was all business mumbo-jumbo, but one thing is clear, they are papers that Peter Brogue needs for his rise to power."

Dora frowned. "But if he was partner with Samuel Given it is not strange he has such papers in his briefcase."

I did not agree with Dora. "I think it's the other way around, Dora.

What if Samuel Given had second thoughts about giving Peter Brogue the authority over his trust? Peter Brogue found out, he gets mad, and yells that he's going to make Samuel pay. Samuel is about to destroy the documents that Peter Brogue needs, but Peter breaks into Cabin 24, hoping to steal the needed documents. Samuel Given is taking a shower, but gets out before Peter has found what he's looking for, and he kills the man in a panic.

Digby whistled. "That's really something, Miss Molly Gertrude. Now we just need the proof."

I nodded. Digby was right.

All we had were my hunches, and although they were usually right, nobody would be condemned on the grounds of a premonition from an old lady who had just arrived in Calmhaven on the Greyhound bus.

I had an idea.

"Dora, you talked to Gloria Given right?"

"Yes, I did."

"And you still have her number, right?"

"Of course."

"Do
