Chapter 3 – Robbed!Mel
Tuesday Morning, December 9th, 2014
“Sheriff, Dispatch has a sensitive on line two; Shane’s in court this morning.”
“I’ll take it Holly. Where’s Mason?”
“In the squad room, I believe. She didn’t go with Shane.”
“Good, have her come up.”
“Will do.”
I punched the line button on my phone, “Sheriff Crane; how can I help you?”
“Sheriff, this is Alexander Lepley out here in Falls Township.”
Alex Lepley is about 70 years old and as sweet and as charming as they come from the moneyed set. “Yes, Mr. Lepley; is there something wrong?”
“Well first of all, there’s no need for you to call me ‘Mr. Lepley’. Why, I’ve known you since you were in diapers.”
All the more reason for me to call you that... “My apologies.”
“Second, I believe we were robbed.”
I was taken aback
