Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 487

"What are you looking to find?" Elliot asked him.

Tarquin laid his cards on the table, "Blossom and the mysterious figure are tangled up somehow. I want to check the surveillance, see if we can trace their connection."

Elliot was taken aback, "Blossom and this mystery person are connected?!"

"Yeah!"

"Why do you suspect Blossom? Got any proof?"

Tarquin explained, "The mystery person has a thing for harming stray cats. We've found dead cats in the trash bags Blossom tossed out, more than once. And the way those cats died... it's exactly how the mystery person does their thing."

Elliot's brows furrowed deeply. He suddenly remembered the night they were threatened by the mysterious figure, using Emmett as leverage. At that time, it was only Emmett and Blossom together. After the threat, Emmett went off the grid, only to find out later it was because Blossom had shown up out of the blue.

Could Blossom really be connected to this mysterious figure? But Blossom seemed so pure, so kind!

Elliot shook his head, firmly stating, "Blossom can't be the bad guy."

Tarquin replied, "Didn't say she was bad, but she's as naive as your mom."

Elliot: "..."

Tarquin added, "I suspect she's being used by the mystery person. Otherwise, those dead cats wouldn't just magically appear in her trash. Unless... The mystery person is living with her, killing stray cats and sneaking them into the trash bags, while Blossom unknowingly takes them out."

This kind of scenario isn't rare in thrillers. Some folks secretly squat in someone else's home, making it theirs when the owner isn't around. When the owner is home, they hide in some corner, waiting for the owner to leave or fall asleep before sneaking out.
