Crime & Passion Stalk City Hall Series

One of the perks of a small town, everybody knew everybody's business. Or for some, it was probably a detriment. It certainly was looking that way for Ms. Bennett.


Impatiently, she waited as Captain Tomie asked Darrel a few more questions, and then told him to keep quiet about what he knew. She desperately wanted to run out the door, pick up Tiana and grill her. Patience. 


Further solidifying his theory, Darrel confirmed Tiana's purchase with a copy of her credit card receipt. Excellent, he'd thought ahead by bringing the receipt.


"I'll have Sargent Maxwell pick up Ms. Bennett from work."


Great, Maxwell was already in the field so he could get to Tiana quicker than if she did it herself.
