Caramel Sundae Suspicions

The next day Heather sat at a table at Donut Delights picking out a Caramel Sundae Donut. Amy was also picking her brain about the case. They had thought that finding Tom Horn would make the job easier, but it seemed to have the opposite effect.

They had received an update from the hospital. Tom Horn had survived the night, but he was still unconscious. He was still in critical condition, but the doctors were hopeful that he might be able to pull through. The investigators were hoping that he would wake up and could provide some information on who had hurt him.

However, because it seemed like that want to be happening soon, they had to focus their investigation elsewhere.

"I wish we had more to go on," said Amy. "Like an eyewitness."

"That might end up happening," said Heather in between bites of her delicious donut. "But until then will need to focus on what we found at the scene."

"Well, Ryan already told us that there were no fingerprints on the lamp. I wish killers would get sloppy and forget to wipe off the murder weapon."

"Me too," Heather agreed. "They did look for other fingerprints in Tom Horn's house, and maybe something there will reveal who had been in his house recently."

"You really think that it was someone that he knew who attacked him?"

Heather nodded. "Since there was no sign of a break-in, it was probably someone that he knew and let inside."

"And how does this relate to Vanessa Horn's murder?" Amy asked as she tapped the table, thinking about it. "It has to relate, doesn't it? Because of Skip?"

"Well," Heather said. "I think it does have to relate, but there are many different scenarios."

"I think we might need some more donuts in order to discuss them all," Amy said with a smile.

Heather was never one to say no to fresh donuts. She also thought that a full stomach helped her think when it came to difficult cases. She was about to fetch them to more Caramel Sundae Donuts when Janae came by their table.

"Nina and I finished the online order for the Sweet 16," she reported. "The van should be here any minute to pick it up."

"Thank you for finishing the baking," Heather said. "I think it was a great idea for a party to have sixteen different types of donuts, but it was a lot of work."

"It sure makes the thought of getting older seem better if you get as many donuts as your years on your birthday," Amy joked. "Eva and Leila would certainly luck out."

"Is there anything else you would like me to work on now?" Janae asked. "It looks like Digby has the customers here taken care of."

"I was about to get us more Caramel Sundae Donuts," Heather said.

"I can take care of that," Janae said. "You stay here and try to figure out who's committing these terrible deeds in town. I'll be right back."

"Such wonderful service, that Donut Delights," Amy teased.

Heather smiled because it really was true.
