Enjoy an EXCERPT:
Kelly led the way to the top of the stairs as her husband
sat at the poker table to appease his guests. When we reached the second floor,
I could hear one of their daughters singing from a bedroom.
“Someday I won’t be anybody—I’ll just be the sky …”
It was very prophetic and, yet, very sad.
“Mama?”
“Yes, Mimi?”
“Who’s here?”
“Mr. Blue. He lived in this house before us. He just wanted
to see it again,” Kelly answered.
Mimi scuffled out into the hallway to greet us. My heart
almost stopped in my chest. She looked at me suspiciously as soon as she saw me
in the hallway.
“Mama, this is the man who gave me the flower today!”
Mimi ran back into her room to grab her daisy. Kelly looked
at me with curious eyes. I could sense J0 make the connection between Mimi’s
flower and the flowers that I had brought home earlier. Out of my peripheral
vision, I saw her turn and glare at me. I realized that explaining the
situation to Mimi’s mother was probably more important than J0’s impending
wrath.
“Jeff, were you the one who gave Mimi that flower? She told
me that some guy stopped to watch her and her friends play soccer, and then he
gave all the girls a flower. My first reaction was to call the police and let
the Justice Computer handle the situation.”
“I’m sorry if I scared you, Kelly,” I began. “I had just
come from the mall after buying daisies for Julie. I was trying to find this
house before I went home, but I could only remember the street name, not the
address. I saw Mimi and her friends playing, and I was just trying to be
friendly. I didn’t mean any harm.”
I hoped that my answer would satisfy both Kelly and J0 at
the same time, so I wouldn’t have to face J0’s asperity once we got back to the
hover car.
“That’s so sweet,” Kelly said. “You can’t even accept a nice
gesture anymore without suspicion these days, it seems. It’s sad, really, when
you think about it.”
Although I was relieved that Kelly seemed satisfied with my
explanation, I was sure that J0 was going to interrogate me later, especially
since the ELO device hadn’t tracked me going anywhere near West Winter Street.
“Did you thank Mr. Blue?” Kelly asked her daughter.
“Yes, Mama.”
“You have a sweet girl,” J0 commented.
I shot J0 a quizzical look. I couldn’t quite decipher if she
was just being tactful to keep up appearances while we were inside the
Kaminskis’ house. I was even more frightened that I was going to be berated
once we left.
