“ S am, be quiet!”

George’s command shocked me into silence. The silence lasted only a moment, however.

“Neither of them denied it! I called them killers and they didn’t deny it!” I was in full-blown Sam mode and couldn’t stop, even though the supposed murderers were standing right in front of us listening to my rant. “Clancy knows one of them did it. Maybe both of them. I know! Let’s separate them, and let Clancy see them individually. She’ll be able to tell us which one is the murderer.” I stopped to take a breath.

“Sam, please stop.” George’s voice sounded very firm and held only a remnant of his normal kindness. I could tell he was about to lose it, and it scared me a little. I’d never seen him like this.

“This is crazy!” said Jonah. “What in the hell is she talking about?”

“I don’t understand,” Louise said, exhibiting her plastic and plastered smile. It started to fade a little as Clancy continued growling .

“Clancy, stop, please.” I said. And I said it much more kindly than George had said it to me. Then, Clancy did something I hadn’t done—she stopped. But she stayed on her stomach and kept staring at both Jonah and Louise.

Jonah looked around, his face showing an uneasiness I hadn’t seen until now. “Let’s go inside, shall we?” I figured he didn’t want any of his employees to hear this, plus, he probably wanted to remain in control of the situation.

George obliged, and as we walked he said, “I didn’t come out here to accuse you of murder. My associate gets a little overly excited at times, and—”

“But—” was all I got to say.

“… and,” George said with extra emphasis, “I believe she may apologize for that at some point.” He looked at me pointedly, but I think he knew I wasn’t ready for that yet. “In the meantime, do you have somewhere we can talk privately?”

As we walked into the office building, connected to the factory by a breezeway, Louise remained silent, which I thought was peculiar behavior for her. She did keep her eye on Clancy, as if she were scared my sweet dog was going to attack at any moment. I knew different, but was glad she felt that way.

I followed them into the building and did so quietly.

Jonah led us into a small meeting room with walls covered in white boards which were empty. A good quality wooden table was surrounded by upholstered chairs for 12. We four sat at one end, at George’s direction, and Clancy sat on the floor between George and me.

I could be silent no longer. “Which one of you killed your nephew?” I thought by using the term “nephew” it might evoke some emotion in them. I was right. Tears glistened in Louise’s eyes, but she remained silent. The tears evaporated almost immediately, leaving me to think that I’d imagined them. “I’m sorry,” I said in a rush. “I really am.” And I was, but not for the reason they probably thought.
