Garage Sale Mystery: The Beach Murder Page #4

---

NOT LIKELY.

I MARRIED MISS RIGHT.

I JUST DIDN'T KNOW

HER FIRST NAME WAS "ALWAYS".

[SIGHS]

IT MUST BE LOVE.

NO, IT'S NOT.

WHOA, WHY ELSE

WOULD YOU TRY OU FOR THE SCHOOL PLAY?

LOOK, I JUST THOUGH IT WOULD BE FUN.

NO, REGAN

SMILED AT YOU,

AND YOU THOUGH YOU'D IMPRESS HER.

NO WAY.

WAY.

I KNOW A GIRL:

IN DRAMA CLUB,

SHE TELLS ME:

THAT REGAN HAS ALREADY

BEEN CAST AS JULIET.

I GOTTA GO.

I GUESS YOU'LL BE

AUDITIONING WITH HER.

I DON'T THINK I COULD

EVEN TALK TO HER,

LET ALONE:

ACT IN A PLAY.

SO, I GOTTA HAND I TO YOU, DUDE.

THANKS, MAN.

NOT THAT YOU STAND

A CHANCE WITH HER,

BUT STILL,

I ADMIRE THE EFFORT.

SEE YA.

[SIGHS]

HEY, HON', COME TAKE A LOOK.

STEVE MENTIONED HIS COMPANY

MIGHT BE DOUBLING IN SIZE,

SO I, UH,

ROUGHED THIS UP FOR HIM.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

THANKS.

NOW, IS THA AN ENTIRELY NEW BUILDING?

NO, NO, NO,

JUST MODIFYING:

THE ONE THEY HAVE NOW.

WOW.

YOU KNOW, STEVE CAME

IN THE SHOP TODAY,

AND HE MADE A BIG DONATION

TO THE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL

FUNDRAISER.

HOW BIG?

APPARENTLY, THAT SURFBOARD

WAS WORTH A LOT OF MONEY.

$3,000.

FOR AN OLD SURFBOARD?

IT'S COLLECTIBLE.

WAIT, HOW MUCH DID YOU...

SELL IT FOR?

ONE...

HUNDRED DOLLARS.

A HUNDRED BUCKS?

WHAT HAPPENED TO JUICING?

IT WAS TOO MUCH WASTE.

SKINS AND PULP...

NO, NOW WE'RE SOUPING.

IT'S MORE FIBER,

AND WITHOUT THE SUGAR SPIKE

THAT YOU GET FROM JUICE.

EVERYTHING:

JUST ALL MUSHED TOGETHER?

RIGHT.

WITHOUT ANY OF THE GOODNESS

STRAINED OUT.

OH...

[CHUCKLES AWKWARDLY]

[CELL PHONE RINGS]

HEY, ANNE.

OH, NO...

OH, ANNE, I'M SO SORRY.

YES, OF COURSE, I CAN.

[GASPS] OH...

IT'S STEVE.

THEY THINK HE DROWNED.

A CAR REGISTERED TO STEVE

WAS THE ONLY ONE AROUND.

HE WAS DISCOVERED BY SOMEBODY

WALKING THEIR DOG.

DID HE OFTEN:

GO SURFING BY HIMSELF

IN ISOLATED AREAS?

UH... YES.

HE LOVED THAT.

I'M SO VERY SORRY,

I JUST NEED:

YOUR IDENTIFICATION.

[GASPS AND SOBS]

YES...

[SOBBING]

THAT'S MY HUSBAND.

...AND SOMEBODY'S GO TO GET THE LAND ROVER.

IT'LL GET TOWED TO IMPOUND

IF THEY DON'T.

WHEN WILL THEY RELEASE

THE BODY?

IF IT IS RULED:

AN ACCIDENTAL DROWNING,

IT COULD BE AS EARLY

AS THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW.

ANNE'S GOT TO CONTAC THE FUNERAL HOME,

MAKE ARRANGEMENTS.

I'LL TALK TO HER.

OKAY.

BYE.

[SIGHS SADLY]

HOW DOES HE DROWN?

HE WAS A COMPETITIVE SWIMMER,

A LIFEGUARD.

HE SAVED PEOPLE,

HE DOESN'T DROWN.

I-I JUST DON'T GET IT.

ANNE...

I KNOW THIS IS DIFFICULT,

BUT YOU HAVE:

TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS

WITH A MORTUARY.

IS THERE SOMEONE

IN YOUR FAMILY:

WHO COULD HELP YOU

WITH THAT?

MY DAD, I GUESS.

AND THE LAND ROVER

NEEDS TO BE PICKED UP.

I WANT TO SEE WHERE HE DROWNED.

JENN, WILL YOU TAKE ME?

WAIT...

HIS BODY WAS FOUND
