“Who is it?” I asked again.

Grandma looked at Virginia. “I’m sorry, Virginia, but it’s Billie.”

“Billie?” We all yelled out, getting looks from the people seated around us.

“Don’t ask me why,” Grandma said. “Because I don’t know. All I know is there was a family dispute.”

Virginia’s pen hovered over the paper, unable to write down his name.

Irene slid the paper from Virginia and gently took the pen. She wrote down his name, then looked up at us. “We’ve got a long list here. Let’s start knocking off some names. Let’s start with Kodiak. We need to get on his property and check out that pony. Hattie and I can help you do that.”

Hattie crossed her arms and huffed. “We’ve got a good thing going, Irene. You’re going to mess it all up.”

“We’ll be fine,” Irene answered. “Once we do that, Nikki can question Casius again. You can check on him and see how his ankle is doing. That gives you a way in. Find out if he ever used the pony in one of his shows and how recently that was. Also, find out what really happened between him and Lou.”

“Got it,” I answered. Normally, it was Grandma who took charge and gave orders. It was interesting to see Irene take over.

“Geraldine, you question Archer Nash. Find out what you can about him and Roxy. See if you can figure out how serious they were.”

Grandma nodded.

“Greta, Virginia, you two need to find out what kind of family dispute the police are talking about, but you need to do it without tipping your hand.”

Virginia stayed silent, but Greta answered for the both of them. “We’re on it.”

“That leaves Amy,” Irene said. “Can you gals talk to her tonight? See if you can figure out her connection to Lou.”

“This all sounds great,” Grandma said, sitting forward and crossing her hands on the table. “But how are you going to get us on Kodiak’s property?”

Hattie looked at Irene like she was silently pleading with her not to tell.

“I’m sorry, Hattie,” Irene said. “You know it’s the right thing.”

“Fine,” Hattie murmured.

Irene nervously cleared her throat. “Hattie and I have become . . . friends . . . with the people who live next door to Kodiak.”

“I don’t want details,” Grandma said, shaking her head.

“It’s not what you think,” Hattie said.

“No,” Grandma answered. “It’s probably worse than I think.”

Irene wrote something on the bottom of the suspect list and tore off the corner. “Here,” she said handing the paper to Grandma. “Meet us at this address tonight after Amy’s performance, but before you go to the diner. We’ll get you on the property, you can check out the pony, and be back in time for a round of root beer floats at the diner when the guys get there.”

Half an hour later, we were dropping off Hattie and Irene in the hotel parking lot.

“It’s only two o’clock,” Virginia said. “We could go do some sightseeing. Or we could go see Thomas, and . . .”

“I’m not ready to see Thomas,” Grandma interrupted.
