“In case the boogie man gets us in Barnesville?” We both laughed and I changed the subject. No caller ID, huh?” Mel hesitate a moment before she continued. Here, let me play it for you.” I switched on the message and cringed as I played it for Mel. Clay won’t let anything happen and the guy you met at the BLM is coming, too, isn’t he?” I’m sure anyone could put two and two together and figure out we’d probably turn up something. He knew we went through the stuff at Grandpa’s house. I just couldn’t understand why we posed such a threat. Plus he told us to stay away from Barnesville in the letter you read at the airport. He had some sort of idea we had something or he wouldn’t have had the private eye on me at Neiman Marcus. Maybe Donnie thought there were clues in it. “No, we never talked about it except among ourselves but I’m sure he told Donnie he gave you the tortoiseshell box. Did we ever tell the lawyer we planned to look for the gold?” “No, threatened not to come back to Texas. We were warned again.” I sank into the couch. I just received the most frightening message. “Can you talk?” I blurted out knowing she’d recognize my voice.
