Mysteries of Lawndale - Night of the Coffee House - Part 9

Part 9
“Did you have to tell the police officer I had suspicions?” Dewey asked as they walked away from the café.

“I didn’t have to,” Daria responded. “But I want to cultivate a working relationship with her. It is off to a good start so far.”

“I suppose. But I won’t say anything until we’re at your place.”

“I wasn’t going to ask until we were there.” They continued walking in silence.


Stacy came out of the school building to where Quinn and the boys were waiting. “Sorry I’m late, Sandi wanted to go through the latest Waif,” she said nervously.

“She hasn’t been giving you a bad time about being in the Mystery Club, has she?” Quinn asked.

“Not really,” Stacy murmured.

“Stacy…” Quinn prompted with concern.

“Yes!” Stacy said. “Not in so many words of course. But in her expressions when I mention it!”

“I’m going to have to talk to her,” Quinn groused.

Stacy was alarmed. “No! That will make it worse!” she said while waving her arms.

“Something needs to be done,” Quinn said. “It’s not right that she’s giving you a hard time.”

Stacy nodded. “Maybe call her out at the next Fashion Club meeting.”

“Maybe,” Quinn considered. She looked at the three bored looking boys. “But we better get going.”

“Please!” Jeffy said.

“Oh, sorry!” Stacy said.
