Episode 7: At precisely three o'clock, I locked my desk drawer, retrieved the mysterious envelope, and slipped it into my purse. While I trusted Pua to handle the afternoon mail rush, I didn't quite trust her not to snoop if given half a chance.

"I'm heading out," I called, tossing today’s gloves into the rubbish. “See you tomorrow morning at the usual time.”

Pua glanced up from helping young Windy Nakasone with a big Amazon package. The once unfriendly girl gave me a cheerful wave as she hurried out of the lobby with her box. We’d come a long way since the little rascal declared she was marrying Keone and I had to disavow her of that notion.

“Will you be following up on that business we discussed this morning?" A couple of customers were unlocking their boxes but her arched eyebrow conveyed her meaning clearly.

“Just some personal errands," I replied blandly. "Thanks for covering."

The knowing look Pua gave me said she didn't believe me for a second, but she nodded. "Give my regards to... whoever you might be meeting. And Keone, of course.”

I slipped out the back door of the post office, my pulse quickening as I crossed from the building toward the familiar shack that had once been my home. Now the humble former postal worker’s quarters served as the headquarters of K & K Investigations—a grandiose name for what was essentially me and Keone poking our noses where they didn't belong, occasionally for pay.
