Sheriff Dash paced around me, staring at me with a clenched jaw and enough rage in his eyes to lead me to believe he was seriously second guessing his decision to save my life.

We sat in the waiting area of Mt. Gregor Auto. In the hour and a half since I was almost r u a n down, the game had given way to an infomercial about a knife that was sharp enough to cut through pennies.

Good thing the sheriff didn’t have that on him right now.

He called in an ABP on the car our mystery man drove off in and was preparing to question the owner of the auto shop. So all that was left to do, it seemed, was chew me out.

“I don’t know how much plainer I can be,” he said, looking straight ahead and shaking his head. “It’s like you want me to throw you in jail. Is that what you want, Rita?”

“What happened to ‘Ms. Redoux?” I asked, slumping in my chair.

Astonishingly enough, his eyes got even harder. “I’m starting to think that you have a personal vendetta against me,” he said. “That’s the only way I can explain your unwavering refusal to let me do my job.”

“Sheriff Dash, it’s not-”

“Stop!” He said, his lips pursed, his finger popping up into the air to silence me. “In the time that you have been here, you’ve been present at a murder, an attack, and now at the scene of the first lead I’ve gotten since all of this happened. You’ve also perpetrated in an obvious lie involving my former deputy, and you seem to know things about this town and the people in it that no newcomer should.” He shook his head. “And it’s only been four days. So you’ll forgive me if I’m lax with the formalities, but I’m busy trying to figure out just what is going on here.”

“See, that’s all I want too!” I said, standing.

“Why!” he asked. “What business do you have here? How did you convince my former deputy to cover for you?”

“That’s the second time you’ve called Dwight your ‘former deputy’,” I said, narrowing my eyes at him.

“Well, when someone is fired, that’s the proper title for them.”

“You fired Dwight!” I yelled, moving toward him.

“Yes,” he answered. “I fired the person you met two days ago; a person you have absolutely no reason to feel so tied to.”

He got me there.

“I…I don’t want the kid to lose his job because of me,” I answered, which was the truth…if not all of it.

“Not that it’s any of your business, but it wasn’t only because of you. Dwight’s been less than effective at his position for quite some time now. His eagerness to hide the truth from me was just the last straw.”

That didn’t make any sense. Dwight had always been a hard worker. Even with Dad gone, there was no way he’d do less than his best without a very good reason.

“That’s neither here nor there though,” Sheriff Dash answered. “The wrenches found at the crime scene and the Angela’s house were traced back to this garage.
