Chapter 15
âYou donât get to have that,â Whimsy scolded Jamie.
Jamie just sent her an odd look, disappearing into his room and shutting the door behind him.
She glanced at Samson and held up the bottle of wine. âHas he got a drinking problem?â
âIt seems to only affect him when heâs on drugs,â he said wearily. âI donât understand the compulsion to add alcohol to drugs, but itâs something he does.â
âThat makes no sense.â She put the wine into his hands and walked out to the living room. As she did, she watched as a tall graceful woman in her early fifties walked in the door, carrying a few bags and a box. âLet me help you,â she said, racing forward.
Heather smiled and said, âThank you. Nedâs bringing in more.â
With everything laid on the dining room table, Whimsy was surprised to see that much food. âThereâs enough to feed an army here.â Yet she was famished, so maybe not.
âI wasnât sure how hungry everybody would be,â Heather said, then bustled about in the kitchen, grabbing plates and cutlery.
Whimsy, happy to have something constructive to do, opened up the containers, leaving them on the dining table, then placing all the removed lids on the kitchen counter area. âIt smells divine,â she said as she returned to join the others.
âItâs Greek from on the corner,â Heather said. âWe use their services a lot. Their food is excellent.â
âWell, it smells like it.â Whimsy sat down. âWill Jamie come out to eat?â
Heather shrugged. âHe might. It depends on how heâs feeling. If heâs still dealing with drugs, then not likely.â
âAnd Samson?â
Heather lifted a veiled glance toward the hallway where Samson still hadnât emerged. She caught Nedâs gaze and motioned toward the door with her head. Ned nodded and walked down there. Whimsy could hear voices, and then finally the two men emerged. They both grabbed plates, served themselves decent portions, and then sat down beside Whimsy.
Ned looked at her. âDid you ever contact any of your friends?â
She shook her head. âNot really. I emailed the couple weâd gone kayaking with but no one else. Although I havenât really had time. But I donât think I should, not after the gunman found us at Markâs place. Finding out my former fiancé was partly behind what happened to me has been enough of a shock. That he did it for money ⦠I know he was always broke but hadnât realized it was that bad, he did love to gamble though â¦â she said slowly. âI was trying to avoid having any more of my happy memories destroyed by contacting friends and finding out they werenât who I remembered either.â
âI donât think itâs good idea to reach out to anyone beyond this room of people, not until the gunmen are accounted for,â Samson said.
âAnd not until the police or medical authorities associated with the Woodrow House have been handled too,â Heather offered.
Whimsy nodded. âPart of my particular struggle is, in this last six months when I was engaged, it seems like I lost most of my friends,â she confessed.
