Chapter 23

Marty was ready and waiting for us. She’d already done a quick run-through, taking out pauses, a couple of coughs, and some ambient sounds of clinking coffee cups and chatter from nearby customers. “Good job, Moon,” she said. “Take a look and see what else needs fixing. How come you get all the good-looking guys to interview lately?”

“Lucky, I guess.” I sat beside her and peered closely at the screen. Looked good to me. I paused the video at the shot of the blue book. “We can leave this out of the broadcast,” I said, “but I’d like a blowup of it for myself. I want to try to figure out what the lettering says.”

“Done,” she said. “Maybe I can help. Okay if I fool around with it too?”

“Are you kidding? You’re the expert at this stuff. Fool around all you want.” I squinted at the screen. “Looks like so much alphabet soup to me. His fingers covered most of it. Can you send this frame to my e-mail?”

“Done,” she said again, and I knew it would be. By then I felt pretty good about my day. I was glad to learn that the poodle sitter hadn’t had much of anything new to share with Scott and that my interview with the dance teacher had gone so well.

“Guess I’ll see if Rhonda has anything else for me, then I’ll head for the barn.”

“Have a good evening.” She gave a little salute. “Too bad you missed covering the announcement about the history teacher getting bail though. You would have milked it a little more than Scotty did.”

“Bail? What? Cody made bail? When did this happen?”

“Late this afternoon. They haven’t made a big deal out of it. A police spokesman read an announcement. Didn’t take any questions or give any details. Just said that the man had been released on bail.” She shrugged. “Scotty was the only one here so he took it. He just read the same announcement word for word. You’ll see it on the evening news I suppose.”

Scooped again. Twice in one day. I bit my tongue, pretended it really wasn’t a big deal and headed for Rhonda’s office.

Rhonda didn’t have anything else with my name on it on her white board, so I ducked out early. Apparently, the twins had managed to bail Cody out and that was a good thing, no matter who reported it. Besides, I had several thoughts in mind for the ever-growing outline that I’d left at home on the kitchen table. I hoped my aunt was right—which she usually is—and that the outline was a good way to put my thoughts in order, because right about then I truly needed some order to my seriously jumbled thoughts. Broken shot glass. Is Lucy dating her professor? Rampant course switching. Vision blue paperback book. Real blue paperback book. Mean, swearing Sam. Beloved mentor Sam. Innocent Cody. Guilty Cody. New murder. Old murder. Is the merengue a Haitian-Creole dance?

Maybe what I needed was a nap.
