He’d pared his initial list down to a dozen of the most likely possibilities. He crossed any large chain stores off his list. A large franchise would have its name at the top of the receipt. He’d already visited two independent gas stations and a convenience store. No matches.

I’m at the auto body shop waiting to talk to the mechanic. He sounded depressed. I found my phone. Where do you want to meet?I’ll come there. She wanted to take a quick look at his Jeep, though the chances were slim the vehicle held any clues.

If Jeramiah stepped inside, there was no way he wouldn’t spot me. He was a split second from entering as the door creaked. Then Lucretia’s voice sounded again.

The door stopped moving.What? Jeramiah called.
