“I need to go in. Time for my shift,” I said.

“Yeah, I gotta get back in myself. It’s a busy night.” But Sweetie stayed where she was. “You know, Sam’s just nuts about you.”

“I’ve worked for him for a long time.”

“No, I think it goes a little beyond that.”

“Ah, I don’t think so, Sweetie.” I couldn’t think of any polite way to conclude a conversation that had gotten way too personal.

“You were with him when he got shot, right?”

“Yeah, he was heading for his trailer and I was heading for my car.” I wanted to make it clear we were going in different directions.

“You didn’t notice anything?” Sweetie leaned against the wall and tilted her head back, her eyes closed as if she were sunbathing.

“No. I wish I had. I’d like the police to catch whoever’s doing this.”

“Did you ever think there might be a reason those people were targeted?”

“No,” I lied stoutly. “Heather and Sam and Calvin have nothing in common.”

Sweetie opened one brown eye and squinted up at me. “If we were in a mystery, they’d all know the same secret, or they’d have witnessed the same accident, or something. Or the police would find out they all had the same dry cleaner.” Sweetie flicked the ashes off her cigarette.

I relaxed a little. “I see what you’re getting at,” I said. “But I think real life doesn’t have as many patterns as a serial killer book. I think they were all chosen at random.”

Sweetie shrugged. “You’re probably right.” I saw she’d been reading a Tami Hoag suspense novel, now tucked into an apron pocket. She tapped her book with one blunt fingernail. “Fiction just makes it all more interesting. Truth is so boring.”

“Not in my world,” I said.
