Chapter 16: A Party of Callers

While Jezalyn was upstairs getting ready after her meltdown with her grandfather, Wyler was in the shop with Larkin trying to get him to divulge his plan. “Did you figure out what you are going to do to get Jezalyn to agree to give an interview yet?”

Nodding his head, Larkin said, “I’m going to suggest that we do the interview together. I’ll promise to do most of the talking so that all she’ll have to do is stand there.”

“Sounds logical, but what if she still doesn’t want to give it?” he questioned. Wyler silently pointed to the onlookers gathered about; they were nosey spectators who arrived at the shop after hearing Mary’s embellished storylines. After a brief silence, Wyler suggested, “Maybe you could sneak her out of the shop for fresh air for awhile and propose the plan. You could use the sneaking around and isolation as another reason for her to do the interview.”

“That could probably work,” replied an unconfident Larkin, for his first thought of being secluded with Jezalyn was not one of persuasion, but one of liberation. He secretly thought to himself that now could be the time to get rid of her. Although he had altered his schedule to decrease the constant chatter in his head, Larkin did not feel in control. He soon realized that his altered schedule was an inconvenience that he was not willing to maintain until she met her maker. Larkin let his mind race with possible scenarios to return his world to normalcy.

Nevertheless, one detail remained. “How do you expect to get out of this shop without everyone seeing the two of you?” questioned Julius, bringing Larkin back into reality.

Before a plan could be devised to get Jezalyn out of the shop, she was already downstairs upon them. She was somewhat shocked to find them in the shop so early in the morning. She had thought she would be able to sneak away unnoticed for awhile to clear her head. After the initial surprise of seeing them, she forced a small smile and said, “Good morning. I was just about to go out for a walk.”

Wyler shook his head and pointed to the crowd of people as he had done moments before, “I am not so sure if a walk is such a good idea this morning. It looks like last night’s news report has the whole town gawking outside.”

Jezalyn rubbed her temple and let her finger glide down the left side of her face with some pressure.

Larkin saw his opening and he took it, “I was about to try to sneak away myself. Would you like to get away with me for awhile if I can get us past all these people?”

She was totally against the idea, but her need to escape this reality was greater than the awkwardness of running off with a stranger, so she agreed with a simple nod of her head.

Wyler looked at them and said, “Wait here a minute; I will be right back.
