Monk nodded.

I stared at Jennifer. I have never seen a more downbeat human. I wanted to hug her, tell her how much I would love to have her as a kid sister. But at the moment, those words couldn’t be said.

“I want you to go with Monk. Godfather needs you. He’ll protect you, and you’ll cheer him up to where he’ll be his old self again.”

She looked at me. “Then you’re not going to turn me in to the police?”

“No. I know in my gut you won’t do what Selena talked you into doing anymore. If I turned you in, it would destroy you, and I would never forgive myself. You’re the kid sister I never had and would love to have had. I love you, and so does Godfather.”

We’ll, that ends my case. So far, I haven’t done anything to calm Isis Jones down, and Starla is still missing. The landlord is making eviction threats, and I need a vacation.

 

 

About the Author

 

 

If you said Wayne Greenough writes like he wanted to be a private detective, you could be right. When he reads it is usually a private detective story from the pulp era.

In real life he was a schoolteacher. Trying to decide what to teach on a daily basis for thirty-one years takes a certain amount of deduction. Doesn’t it?
