Murder Crops Up
“Amy was drowsing on the couch, headphones on, book open. The book, I was interested to note, was The Investor’s Guide to the Stock Market, although she had Bridget’s book on the couch next to her. She sat up straighter when I came in, and asked around a yawn, “Is it late? How was your service?”
“It was fine. I was thinking about going over to Drake’s place to check the messages and see if he’s called. Is that okay?”
“You’re getting a lot of mileage out of his house while he’s gone, aren’t you?”... Amy yawned again. “God, I’m so sleepy. I haven’t slept this much since I can remember.”
“Sleep as much as you want.” I turned with one hand on the doorknob. “Will you be okay? Should I hang around?”
“Heck, no, don’t stay on my account.” She smiled at me and flopped back onto the couch. “I don’t want to get in your way. Just pretend I’m not here.”
As if I could.
I let myself into Paul’s house and looked at the blinking light on his answering machine.MoreLess
