Chapter 12

I was back in my office pacing when a message from Luce arrived: Hey, we could really use your help!

In my rush of breaking and entering and then finding a very blurry photo of Holly (and then taking a photo of it with my camera) I’d totally forgotten about Luce and Molly at Traveler.

I put the phone down and sat on the sofa, trying to give myself a moment to think.

I could call Sheriff Hardy and tell him I had gone into Franklin Cordella’s room. He’d certainly given me and my family a lot of leeway in the past, but I’m not really sure how he would feel about me breaking and entering and photographing evidence.

Speaking of evidence, this situation was definitely one of those illegal search and chain of evidence problems. Sheriff Hardy had no reason to search Franklin’s room. At best they could perhaps say that Franklin had asked in his dazed state for them to get his clothes and then they had discovered the photograph. Any lawyer worth his salt would rip that to pieces in about a heartbeat.

I was looking at the blurred photo, racking my brains, when my laptop chimed the arrival of an email. The subject was: THEY WERE MURDERED. YOU NEED TO MEET ME.

I rushed over to my laptop and opened the email.

The people found on Truer Island were murdered. The murderer lives in Harlot Bay. Meet me on top of the lighthouse tonight at 10 p.m. I apologize for the secrecy. My life is in danger.

It was unsigned. I checked the email address and found it came from a temporary email service.

A prickle of anxiety crept over my body. This definitely seemed like one of those situations where I should call Sheriff Hardy and tell him. If I did, he would insist on giving me protection. But for all I knew, the source would keep in the shadows until they were sure I hadn’t brought the police with me, and they might bolt.

My phone chimed another message from Luce.

COME TO TRAVELER RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still had time to decide about tonight. I would talk to my cousins first. The intuition that had told me I should break into Franklin Cordella’s hotel room was telling me not to call the police. It’d had a spectacular success this morning, so who was I to doubt it now?

I locked up and drove down to Traveler. The place was packed, with a line out the front door of tourists waiting for their coffee.

“Excuse me, sorry, excuse me. I work here. Excuse me, sorry,” I said as I made my way through them and walked around behind the counter. Luce was working the coffee machine as she usually did and Molly was at the front counter with a grim look on her face.

“Three large cappuccinos, whole milk, to go, please,” the man at the front of the line said.

“Three large fat cappuccinos to go,” Molly called out, scribbling down his order and adding it to the end of the line Luce was working from.
