me about Claudia’s place,” Maude demanded, definitely more feisty now that she could breathe. “Was her cat locked up inside? I’ve been worried about Moochie since she disappeared.”

      “No cat,” Jack said. “And the door wasn’t locked.”

      Maude’s eyes widened. “Not locked?”

      “No. And she didn’t take her belongings.”

      “I didn’t think so. Didn’t hear her move out.”

      “Why did you ask if her rooms were messed up?”

      “I heard someone up there.” Looking upward, Maude dropped her voice, as if worried that someone would overhear. “Sounded like they trashed the place. I warned her that night before she went upstairs. Then I never saw her again.”

      “Why didn’t you call the police?”

      Maude drew herself up. “Not my business to call down the police on a sweet thing like Claudia.”

      Jack interpreted that to mean Maude knew Claudia had something to hide from the authorities. “Anything else you can tell me?”

      “Just I figure whoever is after her is still watching her apartment, looking to see if she comes back so’s they can snatch her.”

      “What makes you say that?”

      Maude shifted her gaze toward her window, which had a good view of the stairs and the courtyard beyond. But the old lady wore glasses an inch thick. “Seen some strange folks around lately.”

      “Strange folks?” Jack prompted. “Can you explain?”

      “Mean talking men. I’m home all day. Got nothing else to do but watch folks come and go, and I don’t like the looks of some of these ’uns.”

      “Have you seen them today?”

      “No. And I didn’t see ’em the night Claudia left, but I’m thinking it was them that drove her off.”

      “Thank you, Ms. Spalding. I appreciate your help.”

      “You look like a right capable young man,” Maude said, meeting Jack’s gaze imploringly. “Nothing like those other fellows. Please find Ms. Claudia and help her. She always helped me.”

      Jack drove back to the ferry with more questions than answers rippling through his thoughts. He needed a conversation with Claudia Goodwin.

      If that was her real name.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
