CHAPTER 23

“Good afternoon, ladies,” Shaun said, looking up from his computer. His fingers kept dancing across the keyboard. “Two calls, A Walt from the state police driving down and requested you wait for him. Something about reports. Merry Jo called. Said she needed to speak to you about the murder.”

“Thank you, Shaun,” Abby said, walking over to the coffee pot and pouring herself a cup. She took a sip and looked up. “Wow, this is really good coffee. Got a real snap to it. Well done, Shaun. I would give you a raise, but I did just hire you.”

“Why thank you, Sheriff. I aim to please,” he said with a smile. “Oh, I saw Lionel wandering around the park again looking creepy. It looked like he was debating on whether to come in or not. Just thought you would want to know.”

“Thanks. I think he had been peeping into windows again. Tell everyone, and this time no warning. Just arrest him. He is now officially, as you put it, on the creepy list. Oh Shaun, did you know that Bobby Huston was gay?”

“Best kept secret in town,” he said with a laugh. “Except for those of us in the know. He dated Allison May and never got into her panties. Please. If I had not been gay, I would have tried to get her into her panties. I bet she has some nice ones, too.”

“That would interest you?” Abby asked. “I mean, what kind of panties she wears?”

“Only because I have some friends are into that.”

“Here in town?” Abby asked, stepping closer.

“Like I would tell you,” Shaun said, looking amused.

“I am your boss.”

“Only when it comes to law and order in our fair city. My private life and those of my friends is none of your concern.”

“Wow, maybe I don’t know this town. Maybe I can use that to dump this murder back into Walt’s lap.”

“I have my doubts. There is a reason why no one has gotten into Allison’s sexy panties. I know they are sexy since we had gym class together,” Paige said, going to her desk and sitting down. “Lots of lace and silk.”

“Oh please, do tell,” Shaun said leaning forward.

“About the panties?”

“No. Why no one got into them. We’ll talk about the other matter when the boss isn’t around.”

“I can still fire you two,” Abby said, walking back to the coffee and frowning. “We need to start bringing in cookies…cookies with chocolate.”

“Fine,” said Shaun. “I bake some tonight. Now spill!”

“Money. Allison May couldn’t take the chance losing all that money. If she had an accident, and said accident produced a son, the son got the money.”

“So she is still…”

“That’s what she says,” Abby said. “Turns out Allison May is a lot smarter than we were led to believe. And has a lot more willpower and discipline than I thought was possible. I don’t have a motive for her, but she is still on my list.”

They all looked up when a tall, older man stepped into the office.
