I left and went to my car. I called Hannah, and her phone went straight to voicemail. It had been several days, and I couldn't get a hold of her, which was weird. Hannah was about the easiest person to get ahold of on the planet. She almost always answered my calls.

My plan needed to get refined, and my search for the truth was getting closer, but it was a disaster when I tried to go out to the Hollister house last time.

I drove through downtown on my way home.

When I got home, Tanner was in the office working on a novel. He had been writing a book for about a year. He never wanted me to look at it, but I did. I was surprised that it was actually decent. It was a science fiction story about the first robot that flew on a plane by himself—the first self-sufficient robot and all the challenges that faced robot rights.

I popped my head into the office and said, "Hey, how is the novel going?"

"I've written a thousand words today, so not bad." We smiled at each other.

"Something smells good."

It smelled like some kind of meat and potatoes dish, with the meat marinated or seasoned.

Sure enough, once I was in the kitchen, I saw the fillet mignon, mashed potatoes, corn, and salad. I hadn't realized it until I saw the food, but I was starving. Tanner walked in behind me.

"Did you already eat?" I asked.

"Yep, I was hungry and wanted to make you lunch."

"Thank you; it smells delicious."

"How was the concert?"

"Good, it is a pretty nice retirement house. I met Gary Hollister's mom."

"That's not why you went out there, is it?"

I couldn't look Tanner in the eyes. My eyes were glued to the plate of food. I looked up and felt as guilty as a puppy that went to the bathroom in the house when it knew better. "Guilty as charged."

"Tatiana, you are playing with fire. If you keep this up, something is going to happen, and it won't be good."

"Doesn't it bother you that the police aren't doing anything?"

"Not really. I could care less. Some rich guy died."

"Well, if he was murdered, then that means that there is a murderer on the loose. That isn't good. Also, I don't want Hannah to lose her job."

"Hannah won't lose her job. You know how she is; everything is a big drama with her"

"You're right, but I'm kind of worried about her, and I'm going to go check."

I got up from the table and went to the kitchen. Tanner asked, "Should I go with you?"

"No, I think I'll be fine."
