“They’re not stupid, Jasmine. If the evidence points to him, they’ll go after him. Give the cops some credit—they’ve got a lot more experience than you do.”

My brow creased. “Halph-baat,” Blossom said, leaning closer to me. What’s her problem?

Good question. “Geez, sorry. I had no idea my brainstorming would upset your sensibilities. Forget I said anything.” I pulled out my phone and started playing Angry Birds, pointedly ignoring Nanette for the rest of the ride. Blossom followed suit, drawing pictures in her drool on the window. United in sisterhood, we were.

When we got home, Blossom and I sat on the living room rug and mapped out our information.

“I’m not so sure how helpful this is,” I admitted, looking at our yellow sticky notes spread haphazardly across the green carpet. “Ken Yothers is a dirtbag, but he’s got a strong alibi, at least for Jillian’s murder. Larson was at the bonfire, and we saw him in Niantic the day Sex Pistol died, so he’s a convincing suspect. Nanette’s attitude problem on the bus was suspicious, too, so we can’t rule her out. Hell, even Mickey could be the killer, given he dated one of the victims.”

“Ruuuhrrr nah gluh,” Blossom said quickly. Don’t be ridiculous. It’s not Mickey.

“You’re right, he’s too wimpy to try something like this. Whoever it is, though, certainly wants you to be blamed, given the modus operandi, so to speak. Who’ve you upset lately, Bloss?”

She croaked out what passed as a laugh. “Leegsh. Suuuugurmm. Gaaahaaa.” I’m a zombie. I think that upsets the sensibilities of everyone in this pristine little town. She met my eyes and smiled. “Bajarguh,” she said softly. “Ungna.” But thanks for being on my side in this.

“Nobody messes with my sister,” I said, and meant it.
