Chapter 10

“Better than a GPS” Stan set the food down in front of Georgie, pulled a napkin from the dispenser on the table, waved it open, and gently placed it on her lap. “Aleta called me and told me you were following up on a lead on this side of town.”

“What?” Georgie scratched her head and tried to look confused. She ended up looking more like she’d been drinking. “I’m here for some chicken strips and doughnuts. Isn’t that obvious?”

Stan sat down across from Georgie and pulled the plastic lid off of his coffee.

“You might be able to fool other people, Georgie, but I can tell when you are lying.”

“Excuse you! I don’t lie. Embellish, maybe? Exaggerate? Sometimes. But I am no liar!” Georgie quickly took a bite of her doughnut, worried she wouldn’t enjoy it due to Stan’s interrupting her train of thought. Immediately she realized that the only thing that could ruin this delicious doughnut was if her tongue had been completely removed. “Holy cow! Have you tasted these?”

Stan smiled and nodded.

“I have got to get some for Aleta and Emily.”

“So, did you learn anything on your adventure?” Stan took a sip of coffee.

“No, it was a dead end.” Georgie took a bite of chicken strip and rolled her eyes before looking at Stan and offering him a bite. He accepted and chewed while Georgie told him about Paul Lee.

“Well, it was a good try.” Stan wiped his mouth with a napkin. “So, other than Samantha’s murder, did you have fun at the event the other day? Did you see any of your old friends?”

“A couple. The bruncheon was kind of fun except that Clara Lu’s makeup is made with bugs. Call me old fashioned, Stan, but I like my makeup to have chemicals and dyes in it—not legs and wings!” Georgie shivered.

“Bugs? Well, maybe one of those women killed Samantha because she didn’t tell the perp about the main ingredient until after they had it slathered all over the perp’s face.”

“Then I think you’d be looking at a case of justifiable homicide.”

Stan chuckled, but Georgie could see there was something else on his mind. She waited and watched as he fidgeted in his seat and looked out the window. Finally, he spoke.

“Any old boyfriends there? I know you had quite a long list of broken hearts in that school.”

“Why would I tell you? Just so you could go do a background search and put a squad on them to issue a couple dozen tickets?” Georgie took another big bite of doughnut. Just then a thought hit her—“Jet was there.”

“You dated a guy with the name Jet? What was his last name? Liner?”

“Very funny.” Georgie decided she didn’t want to tell Stan anything more about Jet. The fact that Samantha had a crush on Jet her entire high school sojourn had almost completely slipped Georgie’s mind. No doubt Samantha’s designer clothes and stylish jewelry put her in a completely different league than Jet even if she was lying dead in the bathroom.
