Chapter 11

I walked the rest of the way through the apartment. Nothing seemed unusual. It was as if she might be back at any moment. Maybe she would be back for all I knew. I probably needed to get out of there. If she was the killer did I really want her to catch me in her apartment? No, definitely not.

As I walked by the bedroom door I glanced down in and saw the closet door open. It was completely empty. She had no clothes in there? Had she left for good? Maybe she thought we were on to her and had to get out of town. That didn’t explain why she’d come back for help though. Nor did it explain who the mystery man was. I stood at the bedroom door for a moment looking around to see if there was anything else that was unusual. The fact that her clothes were missing and she had left the door open just didn’t make sense.

I heard a noise. It sounded as if it came from the front of the apartment. Perhaps it was just the neighbor out in the hallway. After such a short time I had already forgotten the quirks and noises of this place.

“What are you doing here?”

I spun around to see Brannon behind me. He was putting his gun back in the holster. My stomach dropped to my feet when I thought that maybe he had that pointed at me. “The door was open,” I said.

He quirked an eyebrow. “Do you normally come into homes with doors open?”

“No, not normally, but, well, I had suspicions about her.”

“So you just came on in,” he said.

“Right. When the door was open I came on in. That is correct.” I nodded.

There was no way out of it, so I had to tell the truth.

“You have to get out of here.” He motioned.

I followed Brannon out of the apartment and down the staircase. We stepped outside onto the front porch. Once we got to the bottom of the steps we stopped.

“How did you know I was here?” I asked.

“We got a call about breaking and entering,” Brannon said.

“Who called that in?” I asked.

“I’m not sure. I think the neighbor.”

“The neighbors always were nosy around here,” I said.

“Rip, you can’t go into someone’s house,” Brannon said.

“I know that, but the temptation was just too much. I have to tell you about what I found out,” I said.

“Where did you find out?” he asked.

“Just on a hunch I went by the hardware store to see if they had video.”

“And they had video?” Brannon’s eyes widened.

“Yeah, no, they did not,” I said.

He sighed. “So what did you find out then?”

“The owner of the hardware store just happened to remember seeing someone who he thought was suspicious. He described Joanna and the murdered man. He said they came in and were looking for poison.”

“That doesn’t make any sense.”

“I know, right? Why would they go in there looking for poison unless they wanted to poison someone?”

“Maybe they were plotting to use it on someone else?”

“That’s always a possibility,” I said.
