Stevie frowned. "I remember
seeing the Dendherders, the Bellardi caretakers, the morning of the bombing at
campaign headquarters. Wes seemed surprised to see them there." She paused.
"You don't think they could have had anything to do with any of this, do
you?"
Ernie shook his head. "No. Not
now, anyway. I did earlier, though. In fact, that's what led me out to the lake
in the first place. Maybe Denherder felt he was living off charity or something
and the resentment grew. Then when I got out to the lake and found the pickup
parked behind the Denherders' place, I was sure Matthew Denherder was
AntiCrist. And when I found out that the Bellardis' houseboat had left the
docks only a short time earlier, I was sure Matthew Denherder had taken Wes out
on the boat to await his midnight deadline and then finish him off. In fact,
right up until about an hour ago, I was absolutely positive that Denherder was
AntiCrist."
Stevie frowned. "What changed
your mind?" "I tracked down Lucy Denherder's sister's name and phone
number in New Zealand and called them. Not only is Lucy there visiting, so is
Matthew. I spoke to him."
