An hour or so later after the children were in bed and Gladys had gone up to her room, Holly’s phone rang again. “I don’t know who it is,” she said, looking at the screen.

“Take the call,” Keith suggested. “It could be…”

“Hello,” she said, walking into another room. She returned smiling. “That was the rental agency. They asked if Keith and I would open the Verano home and allow the police to do a search.” She grinned. “Evidently, there’s now a search warrant. I guess they have some sort of evidence.”

“Why us?” Keith asked.

Holly looked at him for a moment, then shrugged. “Who else? Vickie and Dino aren’t friendly with anyone and…” she giggled. “…they sure as heck can’t trust those lunatic Californians.”

Savannah grinned briefly at her, then lowered her brow. “I’ll bet it has to do with Clyde.”

“What has to do with Clyde?” Holly asked.

“The new evidence.”

“Maybe,” Holly agreed. “Someone is bringing me the key to the locked room.”

Savannah bounced excitedly in her chair. “When are they coming?”

“Tomorrow.”

“Oh, good. We aren’t leaving until Tuesday—day after tomorrow.”

“Now, Savannah,” Michael scolded.

“We won’t get in the way,” she insisted. “Holly and I are just curious.”

The two women exchanged giggles. When Savannah noticed Michael staring apprehensively at her, she asked sheepishly, “What?”

“Nothing,” he said, unconvincingly. “I just hope you’ll keep your distance.”

“From Holly?” Savannah grasped Holly’s arm. “My favorite sister-in-law?”

“And partner in crime,” Michael snarked. He explained. “No, from the Verano house and the police investigation. That’s what!”

The women glanced at one another and Savannah said, “Yes, Daddy.”
