Chapter 22

After I asked Betty a few more questions, that she did not have answers to, I thanked her, got in my car and drove over to the Spotted Coyote. It wasn't open, not that I expected it to be, so I stepped up to the front and rapped hard on the doors. I put my face to the window, watched and waited. In a few seconds Gavin came out from the back of the place and strode to the door.

"What's the commotion about, you sound like a herd of buffalo trying to get in?"

I strode in to the bar, flipped on the light switch at the bar and stood. I set down my file on the bar's top and flipped it open, turned to face Gavin and demanded: "What do you know about Edna Werner being a descendant of Jayne Blair?"

If ever something or someone could catch Gavin by surprise, this was the moment. He approached the open file very cautiously and skimmed over the copies, turning to me he said, "How can you be sure that Jayne Blair is Edna's ancestor?"

"So, I take it that you did not know?"

"Correct."

"Betty, the docent, she told me, after I examined the contents of an old suitcase that was found at the Sheriff's office and then taken to the museum for safekeeping."

Evidently, Gavin was truly not in the know. He turned to the file copies and studied them. I watched silently, observing him for clues to his interest in these developments. He closed the file and asked in a very quiet voice, "I wonder why Edna has never said anything?"

"Who knows? Not all people are curious or caring about their ancestors. But, I do find it peculiar that a woman, such as Edna, who is so concerned about a town's cemetery would not care about a mystery in her own family tree, don't you?"

Gavin nodded thoughtfully, "Yep, I do agree with you. My best guess is that Edna may have given up on the mystery, maybe a long time ago when she might have been interested, there weren't enough resources to do much about it."

"Hmm, good point." I was about to ask him what he thought we should do when a phone at the back rang. Gavin rushed to get it. I could barely make out the conversation and what I heard was just Gavin's part. When he returned, his face was lit up.

"What timing! That was Edna, she asked that we, meaning Vera and myself, come on over to her home. A deputy is bringing the suitcase and its contents to her. Also, Betty from the museum told her that you had the opportunity to look at the contents and Edna asked if you could go with us to her house. How about it?"

"Sure, when?"

"Edna said this afternoon, in about three hours. I can stop by and pick you up at your cottage, it's on the way to Edna's?"

"Sounds good. That will give me some time to sort out a few ideas I have.
