Chapter 400: Chasing Ghosts

After a fruitless search of Melina's office (with no sign of the threatening correspondence Alphonse Brunbaugh had been seeking, unfortunately, so not even that to use against him), the fact we turned up zilch as to a connection between the coach and any kind of doping scandal, Liz next led me to the rider's quarters. I felt a brief tingle of guilt over the fact I'd been spending all this time on the case and none at all at Petunia's, leaving everything to Daisy, Mom and the staff, but when I texted my bestie to apologize while I followed Liz across the compound to the apartments, her reply made me grin.

All's quiet on the Petunia's front! She included a cute little pug emoji she'd downloaded onto our phones to share. Have fun catching the murderer!
