Pope's POV
After the guy closes the door I look around to see one of the most kookiest house I've ever seen he walks me too an office he sighs heavily "just wait in here. Ms.limbrey will be right with you"he says walking away I observe the room I look at a picture on fireplace I walk over to a book shelf I see a book called divine miracles I hear clanking behind me and see a lady who i think is Ms.limbery I see her walk towards me with crutches attached to her arms"mr.heyward"she says looking at me with a chuckle "I'm varla limbrey."she says walking towards me "uh.pope people call me pope"I say as she sits on one of the couches "have a seat"she tells me "thank you so much for everything this really means a lot to me."I say as she places her crutches down "can I offer you something?"she ask pouring herself some tea
"I'm ok thank you"she nods "well you look thirsty"she says she passes me a cup I quickly grab it as I see her hand shaking "I think a toast is in order.to finding the unfindable"she says picking up her cup and toasting "against all odds, you and your friends managed to beat everyone to the royal merchant, including me, and Lord knows I tried I also know you've since lost the gold to ward Cameron"she says looking at me
"how do you know that?"I ask her "ward Cameron and I have a long and tortured and history. I funded his first development project."I cut her off "but he wouldn't--" I start "he wouldn't need to ward and I we're partners in the search for the Royal merchant I'm afraid that big John Routledge was not the only one that ward double-crossed"she tells me
"ok"I say looking down "what else do you know"I ask looking back at her "I know that rafe Cameron killed sheriff peterkin. I have proof of it"she says "so you can clear John B's name?"I ask her "easily, at any time"she says she turns on a tape "...of the gun. He's protecting his son. It was rafe Cameron who killed sheriff peterkin"I listen to the tape
"Gavin"I say "I know exactly what happened on the tarmac."she says with a creepy smile "so you have the evidence,and you know him and our other friend our innocent so why don't you,just go clear his name it's the right thing to do?"I ask her
"other friend?"she asks "yeah her name was Ciara"she nods "my friend, the limberys did not maintain their position in the lowcountry for these last 300 years by giving away something of value for free. Yes,I can exonerate your friends, but first, there is something that I want.its a little thing, really, I think you know what it is I want the key"she says "a key?"I ask confused
"like a truck key? I have house keys. I'm sorry...I don't know-- a key"she scoffs "I'm afraid our relationship won't be very productive if we aren't honest with each other. Denmark's key"she says I still have no idea what she is talking about "as in Denmark tanny?"I ask "yes" "ms.limbrey,I'm sorry,but I have no idea what you're talking about" but for my friends I'll go find it I'll do what I need to do. I'll find one if you need it but I don't know what your talking about,"I tell her as she grabs her crutches and stands up angrily
"come now"she says she walks me to a room with papers on a desk she picks up a picture of something "do you recognize this?"she asks handing me the picture I look at it "ring any bells?"she asks again "no I'm sorry it doesn't"I say shaking my head handing it back to her "hmm you can keep that"she says taking it back with a chuckle
