Chapter 7

Golden Girls

My mother didn’t answer when I tried calling her the next day just before the channeling. I expected to get her voicemail. I didn’t expect to get her friend’s voicemail as well.

“Hi, this is Marlene,” my mother said.

“And Brenda,” said her friend.

“We’re not here right now,” they said together, giggling. “But leave a message.”

I left one. But not the one I wanted to leave, which was, “What the Golden-Girls is going on here? Are you and Brenda roommates now? And why are you so happy?”

It wasn’t any of my business, but I thought it was odd that I hadn’t heard a thing about anyone moving in.

“Call me when you get this,” I said, instead.

My choppy internet had been extra choppy last night, and I hadn’t been able to look anything up, so I was happy to have the printed library articles.

I spread them out along the dining table and glanced over them one by one. There were so many inconsistencies, it was crazy. From the misspelling of names (Linder vs. Lender) to the “blame the victims” defense, the Landover Gazette had dropped the ball on its reporting all over the place. And it seemed to be on purpose.

According to police reports, Miss Thomas and Miss Jerome secretly boarded the Donovan’s yacht after the Landover Country Club dance ended, apparently hoping to continue a night of carousing and debauchery.

“Myles’s dad had no idea the girls were even on there. He and Mr. Linder were asleep downstairs,” Clyde Bowman, 18, said. “Freddie and the girls were drinking. Beer bottles were everywhere, onboard and in the water, all over the place. Freddie didn’t do stuff like that. These girls were party girls from California. I think they were pretty ‘loose.’ They must’ve talked him into it. I bet that’s how he got drunk at the dance too.”
