zoomed in and took pictures of the three items. She and John said “thanks” and left the store.
Once they were outside, John spoke, “That was great thinking to take pictures of those items. I know you recognized them, too. The watch, necklace, and toe ring belonged to the deceased Joanne Jones. Her parents never received these personal items, but Sheriff Benson did. Why is that? Didn’t he and Sergeant Haddock leave Tiger Island the same time that we did? How did he come by them in lieu of Joanne’s parents? I don’t know about you, but I feel that we’re on to something. I feel like we need to contact Joann’s parents and see if they could identify and describe any missing jewelry items that might have belonged to their daughter. I can’t remember Joann’s dad’s name. Let me call Logan, tell him what we just saw, and see if he can get Joanne’s dad’s phone number for me.”
John immediately called Logan on his cell phone and told him about their experience seeing Sheriff Benson on their trip, what they just saw in the pawn shop, and that he needed the phone number of Joann’s dad. They exchanged mutual agreement on what the next steps should be and then they disconnected.
Mary asked, “What did you and Logan discuss?”
John replied, “He said that he would get Joanne’s dad’s phone number and call me as soon as he has it.”
John and Mary saw a bench nearby and sat down. It had been an interesting day. They discussed the possibilities for how the sheriff wound up with Joanne’s jewelry to the point that they were both getting headaches.
Finally, John said, “I probably need to call Bob, my lawyer in Boston, and ask him what he thinks we should do. He’s a personal friend, and ‘on retainer,’ and he will not discuss this with anyone.”
The phone rang. It was Logan. John answered, “Good work. I’ll have Mary write it down.”
Mary found a pen and a receipt in her purse. She wrote on the back of the receipt the number John called out. John thanked Logan and disconnected. He pondered a moment to think about what he should say to Joanne’s Dad, and then he called the number Mary had written on the back of the receipt.
