“Chris Long, the night watchman, came shortly after and set the alarm. He went into the Mummy Room and locked the door behind him. At nearly nine in the morning, he dashed out of the room in a panic, and the painting was already gone by the time the police arrived.”

“That’s right,” said Barbara Palmer.

“And . . . where were you yesterday evening?” asked Jerry.

The museum director bristled and stared at him. Did he think she had stolen her own museum’s painting?

Maya and Jerry noticed how her cheeks flushed red with anger. But Barbara Palmer quickly understood that she would look suspicious if she didn’t answer Jerry’s question.

“I was at the hospital visiting my elderly mother. I had a long talk with Dr. Wilson there, a very successful doctor who is also interested in modern art. He can confirm that I was there,” replied Barbara Palmer moodily. “But now I need to get back to my work, if you’ll excuse me.”

“And we need to go home and think a bit, but we’d like to come back later this evening and keep watch outside the room.”

“Of course, of course. Why not?” replied the director absentmindedly, waving her hand to indicate that she wanted to be left alone.
