“Maddy, you have to tell me why Zach—”
“Sandy!” Maddy snapped. “What did I just tell you?”
“A lot of vague stuff that you won’t explain. Fine. I’ll let you know if anything happens. That is if I’m able to.” Sandy was being sarcastic, but Maddy had just laid a new and awful truth on her and refused to explain it.
Her husband may have been murdered.
“Sandy, call the sheriff and get him to take fingerprints off the desk. That’s the easiest way to figure out who did it.”
“If their prints are on file. But they probably aren’t.”
“Call the sheriff, Sandy,” Maddy said.
“Maddy, this might not make any sense to you, but I don’t want anyone in my house. I just got home. All I want to do is be here with the baby. We have a lot of things to sort out, him and me. There’s no real reason to get fingerprints, is there?”
“Sandy, I mean it. I’m supposed to be in training this whole week, but I’ll take a break and call you if I have to.”
“All right. I’ll call. Now can we talk about something else?”
“Sure. How are you feeling? Is the baby doing well?”
“Yes. We’re both doing fine.”
“Did that little thing ever fall off?”
“Little thing?” Sandy said. “Oh, right. That’s what the doctor said about the sonogram. Not that I know of. It’s still there.”
“So did he actually say it’s a boy?”
“No. Apparently physicians don’t like to actually commit, but he sounded pretty sure. You know,” she said with a sad smile, “Tristan said we were having a boy. He really believed it.”
“Aw, honey.”
“I know. Don’t worry. I’m fine.” Sandy forced a laugh.
“Have you thought of a name yet?”
“No. Not yet.”
“So you’re back there in Bonne Chance. Are you and the baby going to stay there?”
“I plan to,” she said. “But I might go back over to Baton Rouge when I’m closer to the delivery date. It might be easier, having Tristan’s mother to help me.”
She barely listened as Maddy went on and on about what a great idea it was to go back to Baton Rouge. When she had a chance, she broke in and said goodbye, that she was going to sleep. Maddy warned her again what would happen if she didn’t call the sheriff, then they hung up.
“Okay, bean. How about you? Do you think I should call the sheriff about the computer? Yeah. Me neither. Although I think I’ll go see Boudreau tomorrow. Let him know I’m back. He might have seen someone sneaking around the house.”
She smiled as she rubbed the side of her tummy. “Although, if Boudreau saw somebody he didn’t know going into Tristan’s house when I wasn’t there, he’d probably shoot them.”
