CHAPTER 12

Cat and Seth walked through the line of police cars, all with their lights flashing, and headed to the cabin where the historical writers stood outside in a circle with Jessi in the middle. When they approached, Jessi held up her hand.

“Really, Cat, we didn’t hurt him. He was like this when we got here. Then we saw him on the floor and the taxi guy took off to call your uncle. And now you have to come and rescue us again. Seriously, I don’t know how things got so bad, so quickly. All I wanted to do was to let Keith know he was such a jerk. He probably didn’t even know about Danielle since he came up here after his shift on Sunday.”

“Did you ever think that Keith might have been the one to kill your friend?” Cat glanced at the other three women. “I should have thought after the last field trip, one of you might have thought twice about this adventure.”

Cora stepped toward Cat. “You’re right. I should have nipped this in the bud as soon as Jessi brought up the idea, but I really didn’t think we’d even find the cabin. It’s crazy what you can find out about people on Google.”

“Let’s get you all back to the house where you can get back to the reason you signed up for the retreat: writing. I’m sure Kelly’s probably finished four or five books by now.” Cat nodded to Seth, and he took Jessi’s arm and started to lead her to the car.

“Kelly’s a machine. Besides, I’ve gotten more words this week than all last month,” Connie groused on the way past Cat. “And it’s been exciting. I may just have to write a contemporary mystery or suspense after this week. Historical seems so tame now.”

Lisa followed her friend. “Leave it to Connie to see the bright side. I’m just glad I’m not going to town in the back of a police car.”

“Don’t even joke about that.” Cora paused by Cat. “I really am sorry. I didn’t even think that this Keith guy could have been more than just a bad boyfriend. Too much romance writing, I guess.”

“No worries. You’re all safe. I was just concerned when I got the call from Uncle Pete.” She turned and saw her uncle by the side of the house. “Would you let Seth know I’ll be right there? I want to check in with my uncle.”

“Sure.” Cora paused. “You don’t think this was because of Danielle at all, do you? You think Jessi is somehow involved.”

“I think involved is a strong word, but she may be part of the answer here.” Cat glanced toward the car. “Let’s just keep that between us for a while, okay? And try to keep her under control? We only have three more days of the retreat, and I’d like to not lose any of you before you leave on Sunday.”

“I’ll do my best. She has a way of talking people into things. I swear, she’s a trouble whisperer.
