Four hours later, Imani, Sandy, Granny Pepper and Sandy’s father sat on the back porch of her grandmother’s house. Sandy had just gotten off the phone with Detective Roonie.

“So did you find out what happened?” Imani had asked before Sandy could even sit down.

Sandy nodded and lowered her sore body into the chair. Kat had pummeled her good, even with one hand occupied by holding the gun.

“Kat’s not talking. She’s lawyered up. Apparently, she’s from a rich family in Oklahoma. But from what Detective Roonie could find out, she and Carver were having an affair. He tried to end it and she went bonkers.”

“And the flash drive?” her father asked and Sandy shook her head.

“That’s the funny part. Apparently, Kat saw me with it and assumed that I would see the nude pictures on it. She had taken them and had given them to Carver as a gift. I guess she didn’t know that Carver had protected the files until after she hit me over the head and stole the flash drive back.”

Sandy continued, “But she wasn’t taking any chances that I would eventually figure it out given that she knew I had already visited campus once. And would have eventually remembered that she was a forensic science major and put it together that the flash drive had her club’s initials on it.”

“So she deliberately set the fire near your building?” her grandmother asked.

“She claimed she didn’t, but she had used the moment to get me alone to talk to me, that's what she told the detective.”

“If by talk she meant shoot.” Imani said bitterly.

“She’s claiming that we’re all crazy and she didn’t intend to hurt any of us.”

“She clearly was going to shoot you and leave you for dead in the refrigerator.”

“That’s what I told, Detective Roonie.”

“Wow. I hope she doesn’t walk after all this,” Imani said shaking her head.

“You and me both,” Sandy said shaking her head.

“Did you figure out why Jasper was in town?” Sandy asked her father.

“Just being smarmy. He came to ask his dad for money to fund another one of his endeavors.”

“Well, all that matters is that you’re all safe. Cold beer anyone?” Grandmother asked and they all raised their hands in unison.

Granny Pepper laughed, “Drinks all around then.”
