"It does make you look more grownup," Lenny said as he fluttered the back of Violet's hair about, telling her how striking she looked and how everyone was so impressed with the new doo. "So whats this about Sid Peacock?" He laughed almost rolling in the floor of their office. "Violet Peacock! How funny could that be!"
"Shut it! Please." Violet closed her eyes. "We're in a crisis here, you know."
"Why didn't you take off today?"
"Because!" Violet hugged herself and went back to her desk. "Sid didn't want us too. He is trying his very best to have a very stable environment."
"And that means coming to work?" Lenny shrugged. "Its all rather uncanny, don't you think?"
"Don't you dare go there! Lenny!" Violet wanted to point fingers, but she couldn't. "Her funeral has already been arranged. It was natural causes."
"You mean she croaked before she hit the water?" Lenny mustered up a silly grin.
"Sid, had nothing to do with it." Violet swelled a frown.
"How do you know that for sure?" Lenny looked her straight in the eye.
"Because he was with me." Violet had to believe that. She had to make herself believe it. He was with her and no one else. So couldn't have done it. He couldn't have done his great Aunt in.

Its good Violet is on Sid's side..I think.
But does she know for sure? hmmmm...
I do wonder how this will all play out..for Sid.
I don't know... I'm not so sure if Sid can be trusted or not. He's still such a mystery!
