The police and paramedics swarmed Robin’s house. Red lights blinking everywhere I looked, people standing around, talking about the victim, and staring at me. I was standing in the driveway, by my car, going over my statement with Officer Henning, when Archie drove down the lane and parked beside me. He jumped out of the car and ran over to me.

“Is she…?” He stared at me.

“Dead.” I nodded, tears running from my eyes. He hugged me.

“Okay, Mrs. Greencastle,” Officer Henning said. “I have everything I need. If you think of anything else, please call me. You two can head home. We’ll be in touch if we need anything else.” He handed me his card and walked toward the house.

“How?” Archie asked. “What happened?”

“They think she had a severe allergic reaction to something,” I replied; images of her swollen face popped into my mind. I wiped the tears away from my eyes. I looked back at the house, so full of activity now. “It was awful. She was just lying on the kitchen floor. Her face was so swollen.”

“But why didn’t she use her EpiPen? She has them everywhere. I know she keeps one in her purse.”

“I don’t know. Maybe she couldn’t reach them, if it happened quickly.”

“This is unbelievable.” He paced. “I just talked to her at school yesterday.”

“I know,” I agreed, staring at the house. “And I stopped over at her house yesterday.”

I looked at Archie. “Do you have to go back to school?”

“No, they got a substitute to fill in for the rest of the day.”

“Okay.” I got into my car. “I’ll see you at home.”
