Secret Sisters - an LDS cozy mystery

Epilogue

Epilogue

Mr. Phillips and the other men who ran the warehouse confessed to setting up the drug ring and to hiring James Jeffries to be the courier for the ring, paying off the employees who had been roped into service. But when James got a little too big for his britches and wanted a larger piece of the pie, that's when he took his drive into the river, his brake line having been cut. No money-wet or otherwise-was found in the car at all. Ricky imparted this news reluctantly-he couldn't get over the idea that Ida Mae had brought down a drug ring, of all things, and she couldn't get over how fun it was to make him feel sheepish. She pressed him for information on Nick and Mary's sentences, but he couldn't divulge anything he didn't know himself.

"For crying out loud, Ida Mae, these things take time!" he told her. "As soon as I know anything, I'll tell you. But it's not an overnight decision."

Brother Mangrum's plea bargain worked, and the Secret Sisters cheerfully fulfilled their six months of community service, finding it to be similar to their work in the Relief Society Presidency. Very little had changed in their daily routine, except they no longer had to coordinate visiting teaching, arrange for substitute teachers, or choose the hymns to be sung with each lesson.

Ren put in his papers and got his mission call to serve in Mexico. Ida Mae pressed her copy of his assignment into her journal, running her fingers across the words. She couldn't wait to see what kind of missionary he'd be, and to start sending him care packages. She made a mental note to check international shipping rates on cases of mayonnaise.
