“Sorry. Lonnie hasn’t been here since he found out that Donald had been killed,” the young girl behind the counter said.

Felicity frowned. “So, after we came in here questioning Lonnie and told him Donald had been killed, he just dipped out?”

“Pretty much,” the girl said. “The manager he hired a while back has been handling things. She doesn’t know where Lonnie is either, though. He just sent her a message saying he wasn’t going to be here for a few days and to handle things. That’s the last any of us has heard from Lonnie.”

Felicity turned to Iris. Iris had her arms crossed as they made their way out the door. “Something’s up,” Iris said. “You think he skipped town?”

“I think we should definitely talk to Bonnie about this,” Felicity said. “It’s lunchtime. I’m going to call her and see if she wants to meet us for lunch.”

“Good, I’m starving,” Iris said.

Felicity called Bonnie, and the woman was available. The sisters headed to a local restaurant that served authentic German cuisine. Bonnie met them out front, and the three of them got a table. Once they were seated and had ordered their food, they turned to business. “So, what do you have for me?”

“Lonnie Egrit,” Felicity said. “He’s certainly a suspect, but there’s no solid evidence yet. Word is he and Donald have had a few confrontations about Donald’s pick-pocketing. And, according to his employees, he’s been missing ever since the day Iris and I told him Donald had been murdered.”

“That is certainly suspicious,” Bonnie said. “He could have skipped town. This definitely makes him a person of interest. I think after lunch, I’m going to go on the hunt. See if he’s hiding out in town anywhere.”

“We’re probably going to go back to the cabin for a bit,” Felicity said. “It’s been a pretty busy morning for the two of us.”

“Well, you two are on vacation,” Bonnie said. “I kind of feel bad I hired you. I sort of ruined your little sister trip, didn’t I?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Iris said. “This has been a lot of fun.”

Felicity laughed slightly. They scarfed down their lunch, and after paying the bill, the women parted ways—Officer Bonnie headed into town to ask around about Lonnie, and Felicity and Iris headed back to the cabin for a bit of rest and relaxation.

As they pulled up to the cabin, Iris declared, “I think it’s time we took advantage of that hot tub on the porch.”

Felicity grinned. “Oh, I agree,” she said, and they hurried inside to change into their swimsuits. The hot tub felt just wonderful, and it was certainly the sort of relaxation Felicity felt she needed.

They laughed and splashed one another a bit, enjoying their time together. They heard a horn honk, and glanced down the driveway to see Caleb sticking his head out of a truck window. He smiled up at them. “Enjoying the hot tub, I see!” he called.

Iris smiled. She propped her arms up on the side of the hot tub and looked out toward Caleb.
