this morning #1502.
this morning, i was brimming with a sensationally raw sense of renewal. after yesterday’s revelation about the family’s fake name, i knew i was on the brink of a breakthrough. those fakers have secrets beyond their last name. that has to be the case. now all it’ll take is a couple well-placed phone calls & i’ll blow this story wide open. my editor tells me he has faith in me. i suppose i do too. the moment that 9am came, i placed a call to town hall. asked peg to pull the deed to the family’s home. tell me whose name it’s in. are they even the owners? my instinct said “no.” she put me on hold & when she returned, said she’d “never seen anything like this” in all the while she’s been working there. there was nothing on file.
