Chapter 6.

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Genesis 8:22

On the dot of three Emma pulled up to Elsa-May and Ettie’s haus as arranged. Maureen was already there and they all had to wait fifteen minutes for Silvie to arrive.

“Sorry I’m late,” Silvie said.

“Come in.” Elsa-May pulled on Silvie’s arm and hurried her to the chairs where the other ladies waited eagerly.

Silvie looked very pretty with the subtle makeup. Her face did not look painted; her skin looked smooth and her lips looked a little darker than normal and were very glossy. Her normally pale lashes were dark and very, very long which accentuated her beautiful, clear blue eyes.

“Well, I asked Mr. McAllister if he had a farm for sale. He showed me brochures of farm land and I said that I wanted land close – in a ten minute radius – by buggy.”

“Go on,” Ettie said as she sat on the edge of the old timber chair.

“He said he could have a very large piece of land coming up, but he already had a buyer for it.”

Ettie gasped and covered her mouth. “Emma, he already has a buyer for your land.”

“It could be Wil,” Maureen said.

Emma lowered her head and rested it in her hands.

Elsa-May lifted up her hands to quiet everybody. “We can’t be sure though. This is all hearsay.”

Ettie nodded. “Quite right. What else, Silvie?”

“He stepped out of the office to take a phone call in private. So I dashed to the front of his desk and looked in his top drawer and found this.” Silvie opened her palm to reveal a key. On the key was a tag, which said, ‘Spare Office Key.’

Elsa-May clapped her hands. “Well done, Silvie, well done.”

Emma stared at the key in disbelief. “What can we do with that?”

Elsa-May pointed at her. “You, Emma, will go there tonight, no not tonight. Friday night you will go into his office and look through his files, his messages – anything you can find until you know what’s going on.”

Maureen interrupted, “Tomorrow night is Friday night.”

“So it is, well, you must go tomorrow night.” Elsa-May was insistent.

Emma clutched at her throat. “Isn’t that against the law or something? I don’t want to go to jail.”

Ettie leaned forward. “It’s breaking and entering. No wait, it may not be breaking if you have a key. But, if you have stolen the key, I’d say it’s still breaking and most certainly entering.”

Emma jumped to her feet. “This is absurd; I can’t do it, I can’t.”

“Jah, you can and I’ll come with you,” Maureen said. “There’s something going on Emma, and you have to find out what it is. Don’t you want to know if you can trust Wil, or not?”

Emma thought back to the romantic picnic she had just had with Wil. What if she had kissed him or something awful, only to find out he was not to be trusted? “Jah, but Gott reveals all things in time.
