“Don’t I know you?” the drunken man wearing three different plastic leis
asked as he cornered me in the high school gymnasium. Though the place
was decorated with crepe paper and streamers for our combined high school
reunions, there was no hiding the normal utilitarian function of the space.
There wasn’t enough bunting in the world to disguise that. Keeping with the
Hawaiian luau theme, a pair of decorative spears held up a colorful banner
over the DJ that said Welcome Back, ASHS Students. Some genius had
decided to host three class reunions at the same time, and I’d reluctantly
agreed to go, even though my boyfriend, State Police Inspector Jake Bishop,
was on the Outer Banks up to his hips in another murder. Grace Gauge, my
best friend since childhood, had convinced me that it would be fun, but so far,
it had taken all that I had not to run out of the building as though it were on
fire.
“Of course you know me,” I said. “Billy Briscoe, we were in most of the
same classes all through high school. It’s me, Suzanne Hart.”
“Sweet little Suzie Q,” he said, slurring a nickname that I would never
answer to. “You look great,” he added as he leaned in. His clothes were so
heavy with the smell of alcohol that I was amazed he could even still stand.
“You’re drunk,” I said, lacking any sympathy for the balding man with a
middle-age spread that I had once considered cute. Wow, what a difference a
few years made.
“That I am,” he said with a grin. “You wanna sneak away with me into the
shadows for a minute or two?”
“Not even the least little bit,” I said as I spotted Grace walking toward us.
“Come on. You know you wanna,” he said as he added an overstated
wink.
Grace joined us, smiling. “There you are, Billy. Did you know that Sandy
Link has been looking all over the gym for you?”
That got his attention. Sandy had been the head cheerleader once upon a
time, and she’d kept up her appearance to the point where it wouldn’t have
surprised me if she’d shown up in her old uniform. It clearly would still fit.
“Sandy?” he asked as he started scanning the room. “Where is she?”
“The last time that I saw her, she was standing over by the men’s
restroom,” Grace said.
