NINETEEN
THE VISIT
When Lenzi and I left Babette, he took on the task of finding Joshâs brother, which was proving more difficult than we thought.
Babette said sheâd explain how exactly the brother was able to cause the chain reaction. That freed The Struag and would meet us at Keithâs. But since Lenzi was working on the brother information, we waited for him at the coffee shop by the police station.
âDid you get Sarah and Trina settled?â I asked.
âYea, theyâre at Trinaâs place and they have it all religiously decked out. Where were you?â
âI went to Attorney Smithâs office.â
âSo thatâs where you were the whole time?â Babette questioned. âYou went for it finally?â
I nodded. âI was hoping to get answers and maybe closure.â
âAnd?â
âI got a bit of both.â
âMay I?â she asked with a slightly extended hand. âUnless of course itâs too personal.â
âNo. I mean you can read it. Itâs not too personal.â I reached into my purse and handed it to her.
Babette opened it and I knew she saw the date when her eyes widened. âOh wow, she knew she was going to die.â
âYep. Read.â
âHey, nice staff,â I heard a younger male voice say.
âThanks, Moses gave it to me.â
âCool.â I looked up to make sure whoever said that was real and saw the talk young man walking to the counter.â I shrugged. âThat was random.â
âEverything means something,â Babette said. âJust like this letter.â
My phone pinged with a text. It was from Lenzi. âOkay,â I said after reading it. âHe said heâs going to the brotherâs house and will meet us at Keithâs with him.â
âSo, he found him?â
âHe found him.â
Babette handed me the letter and picked up her coffee. âLetâs go.â
We pulled up to Keithâs at the same time that Lenzi pulled up in his squad car. My thinking of, âOh that was fastâ was quickly squashed when he stepped out alone.
âWhat happened?â I asked. âI thought you had him.â
âI did too,â said Lenzi. âI did. But he wasnât home. His mother was and said sheâd give him my number.â
âYou told her he wasnât in trouble, right?â I asked. âLegally.â
Lenzi nodded. âI did. He has a different last name than Josh. Not sure why, they have the same father and mother.â
âWhose car?â Babette asked, pointing to the black Toyota parked in the driveway. âI havenât seen that one here.â
I shrugged as I walked toward the door. âMaybe Millie or Saul have company.â
Keith answered almost immediately when I rang the doorbell. At first, he looked serious then he had this smirk on his face.
âDude, wait, my dining room is like the start of a bad joke,â he said.
âHuh?â I questioned and followed him.
Keith proceeded to tell the opening to a joke. âA lawyer, Jewish Woman and aâ¦â he held out his hand. âPriest, stepped into a bar.â
I saw what, or rather who, he pointed at and it wasnât a joke.
Sitting at the dining room table with Millie and Saul was Father Basil.
The stuffy priest didnât seem quite so stuffy when he saw me.
âOh, there she is,â said Millie.
