“POINT ROSE TOWN SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT,” I sing down the phone when I answer the first call of the afternoon.

I roll my eyes when Mrs. Perry’s gravelly voice slurs through the earpiece. Even though I’ve only been working here a few weeks, I’m already familiar with Mrs. Perry and her paranoia. I thought I was bad but this woman makes me seem like a normal, sane individual. “Nina? Is that you, dear?”

“It is, Mrs. Perry. Good afternoon. What can I do for you today?”

“Richie’s been again. He’s taken some beans and my favorite candy.”

I stifle the groan and try to sound polite. “Mrs. Perry, I urge you again to take the key from Richie. There’s really nothing we can do if you keep allowing your son access to your home.”

“But he stole from me. I can’t afford to replace the items.”

“I shall make sure the items are returned Mrs. Perry,” I promise, making a note to call into the store and pick up the darn items myself.

I catch Luke smirking at me as he passes the front desk, his characteristic amused grin making me chuckle to myself. He mimics playing a violin and I reach over and slap him, giving him a mock glare. He laughs and disappears into his office.

“Oh, so you’re going to send an officer here?”

I debate sending Luke to her house, just for payback, but even I’m not that cruel. “I’m sorry but all the officers are out dealing with emergencies. But don’t worry, I’ll make sure the goods are returned today.” I end the call before she can argue with me and shake my head.

Gerry quirks a brow at me. “Had enough yet?”

I laugh. “She’s just old and lonely.”

He scoffs. “Are you surprised she’s lonely? The woman makes Annie Wilkes look normal.” ‘And me’ comes to mind but I shake my head at him.

“You read Misery?” I question with a suspicious undertone.

“I read,” he says, but I keep a raised brow and a narrowed eye on him until he breaks. “Fine. I saw the movie. Who has time to read these days?”

“Smart people,” I counter in jest.

“Is it lunch time yet?” Luke shouts from his office.

Brady, Logan’s deputy and department skirt chaser—according to Gerry, checks his watch and nods. “Right on time.” Both Gerry and I look at the large clock on the wall and as Brady stated, Luke is right on time. He is more reliable than an alarm clock where food is concerned.

I smile and pick up my purse. “Usual?” I shout back. He looks up from his desk and grins at me through the window.

“Where have you been all my life?” he asks as he places his hand over his heart.

“Avoiding you!” Gerry says as I make my way out.

Betty looks up and smiles when she sees me enter her teashop. “Hey, Nina. The usual?”

I nod. “Of course, although I think I’ll have just a scone. My stomach seems a little tender today.”

Her face falls and she looks at me with concern. “Oh, I do hope you’re not coming down with something.
