After Cathy left Lucas and Pedro, she rethought visiting Barry and his mother. She considered that Nancy and her grandmother were right. This was her birthday, and she shouldn’t be dwelling on suspects and murders. There would be time enough to do that the next day. She bet that Howard and Leroy were doing less work on the case than she was, especially since they were both attending the dance that night with ladies who’d selected or made their costumes. She laughed at that. Gran and Howard would be interesting Walton grandparents, but she had no idea what seventies couple Pauline and Leroy would arrive as.
Cathy decided to drop by Doug and Becky’s place before heading home. She figured Doug would be there because he was still on vacation from the post office, and she wanted to talk to him
