Chapter 16

Zoey pulled up to the curb of Susie’s Clip & Dye, and I piled myself into the passenger side. I felt flustered, but I didn’t want to dump all my new discoveries on Zoey all at once. Some things were better eased into.

“Lemme see,” Zoey said, and I pivoted in the seat, turning this way and that, so that she could see the new do. After doing the color and cut, Susie had given me a blowout. I looked ready to star in a music video. “Nice.”

“At least she was able to get some good before and after shots. My hair had been way past due for some TLC.”

“It had been looking pretty ratty, but you hid it well.” Zoey put the car into drive, and I snapped my seat buckle into place around me. “I was able to dig up some info on Jared, the guy who Cam had had a big fight with at Bouche. He drives a blue Toyota four-door with a dent in the front fender. Works at the crayon factory. Isn’t married. And lives in Wilmington Heights.”

“Where’s that?”

“It’s a little subdivision, or part of one. The builders ran out of money before they finished it, so it’s mostly a bunch of winding roads with sectioned off housing lots but with only a few houses built here and there. Plus a bunch of partially built homes. Looks a little like a house graveyard.”

We went by the factory first. It was a sixteen-hour type of place, running two shifts back to back. Zoey drove up and down the rows of parked cars. No blue Toyota with a dent in the front fender.

We then headed in the direction of Wilmington Heights and passed a long chain of fast food joints on the way.

“Hey, wait.” I twisted in my seat as we passed a burger place. A blue car with a big dent in the front fender was sitting at the drive-through window, and the driver of the car was being handed a large bag of food and a drink. “I think that might be Jared’s car.” We had already driven past, and I twisted around in my seat to watch. “He hasn’t pulled out of the parking lot yet. Maybe he stopped to eat in his car.”

Zoey pulled across the oncoming lane into the parking lot of the seasonally closed Fresh Foods air market before getting us back on the road, heading in the direction from which we’d come. She turned at the spot I’d seen Jared’s car, and we cruised the lot. “There,” she said. “It’s him.”

She pulled into an open spot a couple of cars down from Jared, and we got out. I felt like the dynamic duo, crime-fighting wonders, as we approached his car. Not wanting to risk him driving off mid-interview, I opened the door of the passenger seat and got in, and Zoey slid into the back seat.

“Hey!” Jared exclaimed with a mash of fries sticking out of his mouth. It looked as though he’d sprouted tentacles.
