"Jenny? Are you alright?"
I sensed the burning hostility in her eyes as she turned towards me. The voice was speaking in the lowest of whispers. It was as if she knew and did not want me to hear...But how? How could she know?
"I'm just thinking about it logically." The coldness of her voice shocked me. This simply wasn't Jenny. My best friend...She has always been warm, sensitive and emotional. No way she was actually speaking like this.
"What is wrong with you?" Nancy asked. "You..."
"You are the only person who can play detective? You are the only person who can arrive at logical conclusions?"
"I never said that Jenny..." Nancy said, looking as if she had been slapped.
"The only one with a motive. Who else could it have been?"
"Don't you remember what you told me and Nancy?"
"My Dad never had anything to do with it. It was a mistake. I know that now."
"What???? How????" Both Nancy and I asked at once
"He explained..."
"What did he explain?"
"He explained...He explained...It could only have been Uncle Elias...Just him..."
