THE OFFICERS HAD BEEN nice enough to let them return the Mustang first, and pick up their motorhome, once she explained that her dog was still in there and he needed someone to take care of him.

One of the cars followed them back, and then followed them to the station, not letting them out of their sight once. But, at least they weren’t in handcuffs.

They were shown to a private room at the station and made to understand that there was going to be an officer at the door. Trying to leave was strongly discouraged.

“Are we under arrest?” Jerry asked.

“Let’s not take it to that step,” was the answer he got in return. Cookie wasn’t sure it actually answered the question.

Cream had wanted to come in with them, but cookie had convinced him to stay in the motorhome by bribing him with a handful of dog biscuits. Later she was going to have to spend lots of time with him to make up for them being apart so much. Maybe it was because she knew Boxer was dead, but she didn’t want to miss out on any more time with Cream. Not if she could help it.

With no choice but to wait, they sat down at two of the four chairs around a long metal table. This room must be used for interviews, Cookie decided. There was a video camera in the corner of the ceiling and a fern in one corner and nothing else. It was the kind of room that they always showed in those police dramas on television.

They didn’t have very long to wait before the door opened again. There was no clock in this room, but Cookie had been checking her watch every minute until something happened. Now they saw a uniformed officer coming in, brown shirt pressed and creased, his silver badge shining in the light. He was carrying an open manila folder in his hands, also like on those police dramas on television.

Only this wasn’t a patrol officer, or even a detective. The pins on the tabs of his collar were lieutenant’s bars. The big brass was here to talk to them. Obviously, they were taking this seriously.

“Sorry about the accommodations,” he said to them. “We’ve only got two interview rooms. Believe it or not, you’re in the better of the two.”

He sat down with them on the other side of the table, closing the folder and putting it on the table in front of him. He was a strange looking man, with gray at his temples but no hair on the top of his head and teeth that were crooked. His eyes were too wide. His nose, too. There was an honesty in the lines of his face, though. Cookie instantly liked the man.

“Well, well,” he said to them, leaning back in his chair. “I can’t remember the last time we had a police officer in this interview room. You’re Jerry Stansted, chief of police from a little town called Widow’s Rest. Good to meet you.
