âDaed, I need to go to the library.â
Sara was insistent. She missed their Hope and Samuel agreed to indulge his daughter.
âGive me an hour today please.â
âWhy so long? Are you up to something?â
Sara shook her head. She was up to something, but she wasnât quite sure what it was. Not yet anyway.
âOkay, Iâll see you later. I have to see Atlee King at the furniture store in any case.â
Sara was glad, that meant Samuel wouldnât see her go the police station as the Kingâs store was at the other side of town.
She skipped into the library and asked the librarian how to use the Internet. When she was gone, she typed in Brett Carsonâs name. He was a fancy money man. She read more and more. When she had sufficient information, she went to the police station. Her arrival caused quite a stir.
âIâd like to see the Detective who dealt with Rachel Jones. My papa had found her, Samuel Lapp.â
She was very polite, and the desk sergeant looked at her.
âWhere is your papa?â
âHe has business to attend to but please may I speak to the Detective?â
The desk sergeant smiled at her and told her to sit. A few minutes later, a woman detective came through the door.
âSara, come with me. What can I help you with?â
She escorted the child to her desk.
âYouâre a woman. Iâd love to be a detective. I read lots of mysteries.â
âIâm Amy Wells. I used to read a lot of mysteries when I was your age too. What can I help you with, Sara?â
âWe found Hope, I mean, Rachel Jones. Could you check that sheâs okay? She didnât remember anything, so I donât know where she lives, but Iâve written a letter. Could you give it to her please?â
Amy smiled at the sweet child before her. She hadnât had much interaction with the Amish community since her arrival in town, but they did seem rather charming.
âI will pass it on. But why do you wonder if sheâs okay?â
Amy was curious. It seemed an odd way expression but she knew the Amish used Pennsylvania Dutch so perhaps it wasnât so odd.
âI saw her with the man she is promised to, but it made me uneasy. Have you any leads on who attacked her in the first place?â
âSara, weâre still investigating. Why donât you go home, and I promise to get this letter to Miss Jones.â
Amy stood up to Sara walk out.
âI wish I could be like you and solve crime. I knew Hope would be in the newspaper, thatâs why I checked it. I stopped checking it because I wanted her to stay.â
âSara, why do you call her Hope when you know her name now?â
âHope means sheâs still ours.â
Saraâs eyes filled with tears. She wanted Hope to become Amish and marry her father so they could be a family.
âSara, my dear, itâs okay. How old were you when your mom died?â
Amy gave her a tissue.
âI was four.â
âI was five when my mom died. Weâre a lot alike Sara.
