Chapter Eight

“Aren’t we taking a chance of running into Liam or Jack by doing this?” Heidi whispered, looking back over her shoulder to make sure no one had seen us head back toward the hive of well-used campers.

The area we were walking through was across the open field of the park. It was a short walk from the carnival at the edge of the street. There was a service road along the backside of the park with trees on either side to provide shade for the campsites the city usually rented out to the public. In this case, all the campsites had been reserved for the carnival’s trucks, trailers, and a long string of campers used by the employees as their quarters while traveling from town to town throughout the carnival season.

You realize that we’re entering Skippy territory, right? All I’m saying is be on the lookout…you never know when there could be an impending attack.

“If we do, just let me do the talking,” Heidi insisted, knowing me so well. “The last time you tried to talk us out of a situation, you only made it sound worse.”

You do have a bad habit of making a minor situation into something best described as critical.

“Buttons mentioned that Clara was staying inside Kevin’s trailer,” I murmured back, carefully searching the trailers for the one that had a skull and crossbones decal on the door. Mom had somehow managed to get a carnival worker to chitchat about the murder, which technically wasn’t too much of a feat considering that was all anyone was talking about since it happened, and she had somehow obtained the identifying information we needed to access Kevin Paul’s personal belongings. “Maybe she’s still there. It will make it easier to borrow an object of his to cast the remembrance spell.”

Borrow? He’s dead, Raven. I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have any further need of his belongings. Unless, of course, he had an extra coffin laying around in his camper that he would need back.

Leo had followed us this far, but his job was to keep a lookout for Liam or Jack. It wouldn’t benefit anyone for them to see us snatching something from the victim’s camper, resulting in Heidi needing to come up with a plausible cover story.

Stop the bus! Back up the train! I think I just spotted Skippy underneath one of those campers over there.

“Leo, leave the squirrels alone. None of them are out to get you,” I scolded him, not having time for one of his make-believe battles with the local wildlife. “We need to focus on finding Kevin Paul’s murderer.”

That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you, Raven. There’s a very real possibility the culprit could be those squirrels. Who knows what kind of strange squirrel pelt-smuggling conspiracy Kevin Paul was involved with before he came to Paramour Bay? They may have had a bounty on his head.

“…check on you in a bit,” a woman called out, having opened the door of a camper around thirty feet in front of us.
