Country Church “Tenor, and Tracy could sing Soprano.”

“I’ll tell you tonight.” I told Mrs. Reynolds. Tracy and I went to the balcony, and went inside the Sound Room.

“Adam, I can’t do it this morning, my wife, Martha’s, got Junior church, and won’t let me come up.” Steve whined.

“That’s no excuse, Steve.”

“I know. Well, see you.” He said.

“Well, it looks like it’s you and I this morning, Tracy.”

“I don’t know. Should I stay up here?” Tracy said, with a grin.

“Well, either you do, or I do a solo!” I said, coughing.

“Where did that come from?”

“I don’t know. I hope it’s the only cough I have.” I commented. We performed pretty well, for not having done it in weeks. After the service finished, we went downstairs. Talking with a bunch of people, we turned around and went for home.

Once there, we sat on the sofa, my arm around her. Tricia came in and sat in a nearby chair. “Tricia, what did you find out about the Building and Loan?” I asked.

“Not much, the branch’s main office has closed, and therefore all the branches are folding. It sounds like a cover up to me.” Tricia responded.

“True. It must of been something I found out while I was on that island.”

“What island?” Tracy asked.

“Oh, nothing, dear. Could you go and see when Karin will have lunch ready?”

“Certainly.” Tracy said, getting up to go in the Kitchen.

“Tricia, she still doesn’t remember the island, and I haven’t told her about it.”

“Good idea.”

“I seem to remember Stacey saying that she was to find her husband, when she didn’t have one.”

“So?”

“So, I think that it has something to do with wealthy people.”

“Then why don’t we get the police in on this?”

“Because it’s just circumstantial evidence.”

“Then what must we do?” Tricia asked.

“I think we’ve gotta go to the island.”

“When you say we, you mean you and who else?”

“Well, I’m hesitant to take Tracy, but. . .”

“Adam, you’ve gotta take her. If you leave her alone for too long, she may suffer mentally.”

“Oh, all right. There is but one problem, I don’t know where the island is. There is only one who does: the pilot. She’s probably far, far away.” The phone then rang. I got it and said, “Hello?”

“Hello, Uncle Adam.”

“Yes? Tiffany?”

“Yes, my cousin Steve is here babysitting.”

“So?”

“So, he was talking about you and Aunt Tracy.”

“Really, what did he say?”

“He yelled at someone on the phone, telling him to close shop everywhere.”
