Chapter Fourteen

“Word has it the fights at Joe’s bar got out of hand last night.” Molly picked up and shook the bottle of Tylenol on Sadie’s kitchen counter. “When all was said and done—long after midnight, I’m told—Rooney called Ty, who never showed, and reamed him out. Ty called Brady, also a no-show, and on down a twisty, turny path, until sometime around 2:00 a.m., our great-grandfather called me from the north woods. Among other things, he wants you to listen to your landline and cell phone messages more often. Same memo to Eli.... Er, where was I?”

“You lost me after ‘the fights at Joe’s bar got out of hand.’” At the table, Sadie raised her forehead from her arms. Molly had invaded her kitchen at 6:00 a.m., on her one and only day off after a night of pure hell that had not resulted in her and Eli having hot sex or even a reasonable facsimile thereof. “Why are you telling me this?”

“Because Rooney’s upset that you weren’t there wearing your journalist’s hat. Your only saving grace is that he’s miffed at several of us for doing other life things when he believes we should have been drinking Joe’s gross beer and throwing up in the bathroom between bouts. Do you want coffee?’

Sadie propped her chin in her palms. “Do ravens have feathers? My guess is Joe’s was packed to the rafters, and everyone in attendance snapped a dozen or more photos with his or her phone. My assistant—” she emphasized the word “—will have plenty to choose from when she opens her morning emails.”

“I noticed you didn’t get home until close to midnight.” Molly measured out the ground beans. “Would that be Eli’s doing?”

How much should she reveal? Sadie wondered. “Eli and I had an incident on the Hollow Road. By the time we got to the Cove, we were wet and muddy and not very happy. We spent close to an hour trying to locate Ty, only to be told he was still in Raven’s Hollow. So, back we went. At a snail’s pace, though, because Eli wanted to see if he could locate his truck.”

Molly stopped her measuring spoon halfway to the machine. “Eli lost his truck?”

“Long story. Short answer? Yes. With it went my camera bag and all the pictures I’d taken of Ben Leamer’s corn maze—which I flatly refuse to walk through again after discovering a wolf spider the size of Solomon on my coat sleeve yesterday afternoon.”

“I have shots of the maze,” Molly told her. “Lots of them. In a way, you could say I helped design it.”

Sadie slid her eyes sideways and up. “Say what?”

“More accurately, I helped Brady, who helped Ben design it.” She returned to her task. “Think, Sadie. Brady’s a vet. He takes care of Ben Leamer’s livestock and pets. He spends a lot of time at the farm. Ben asked for help, Brady made suggestions and when we—Brady and I—drove into Bangor together for medical supplies, I did a little tweaking for him.
