“No, of course not. Did someone say that I did?”

“It’s just that Jeffrey Frost came by the junk shop, and somehow, he already knew that I was handling the estate.”

“That’s easy enough to explain. I had to file papers at the register of deed’s office. He probably got the information from one of the clerks. We can talk about that later. Right now, you need to leave Aunt Teeks.”

“Grace, too?” I asked.

“Of course Grace, too.”

“Thank you for the legal advice. I trust you’ll bill the estate.”

“This one’s on the house. Just go.”

I hung up and turned to Grace. “Come on. We’re leaving.”

“I have a hunch we all already knew that,” Inspector Black said.

“Be careful about gloating over your victory,” I said as Grace and I walked out together. “Grace and I did our civic duty by turning that information over to you, and you’ve chosen to reward that by barring us from the shop. In your mind, do you think that will make us want to cooperate with you in the future, Inspector?”

“Holding back information in a criminal investigation is obstruction of justice,” she said.

“Only if we know that it’s evidence,” I said.

“Maybe you should call your lawyer back and discuss that with her,” Inspector Black said as she held out her hand. “The keys, please.”

I had no choice. As I started to hand them to her, I thought about “accidentally” dropping them so she’d at least have to bend over to pick them up, but in the end, I decided to take the high road and just do as she’d asked.

The state police inspector took them without a thank you, locked the doors, and then headed for her car.

Grace and I stood right where we were. “You should have just thrown those keys into the woods,” Grace said.
