A Shoot On Martha's Vineyard
A Shoot On Martha's Vineyard
“The pistol lay on his desk in a plastic Baggie.
The chief looked at it, and reached for his pipe and tobacco. “I wouldn’t have been surprised if some woman or maybe her husband had taken a shot at you back in your bachelor days, when you were running wild with the ladies. Now that you’re a married man and all settled down and like that, I thought that the only woman who might shoot you would be Zee. I didn’t think it would be Beth Harper.”
“Ha, ha. Very funny. This crackpot thinks I kacked Lawr...ence Ingalls. I would appreciate it if you’d sit down and have a talk with her and tell her that I didn’t do it. I don’t want her trying this again. She might kill me next time!”
“I’ll have a talk with her.” “Good.”
“But I won’t tell her you didn’t do it, because I don’t know whether you did it or not.” “Gosh, thanks again.”
He stuffed tobacco into his pipe. “Don’t get all huffy. I’ll tell her that I’m pretty sure you didn’t do it, and that’ll be the truth because not even you are dumb enough to kill a guy then call the cops to come and find you there.”MoreLess
