CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Once in his truck, Skip called Rose. He gave her the names and the contact information Kitterling had provided. “They weren’t on your list, were they?”

“Nope, it looks like number three skipped a link in the chain. He said the rumor had come from Kitterling.”

“Well, it had, but not directly. He was probably trying to protect his buddy.” He didn’t mention that Kitt was also apparently covering for somebody.

He sighed. It wasn’t going to be easy to track down the source of the rumor, if everybody kept covering each other’s butts. “Oh, by the way, Kitt also said that he’d heard it from Howie Kaplan first.”

A pause. “What’s little Howie up to now?” Rose said.

“Good question. You going to check him out again?”

“Yeah, and I’ll get on these other two guys. What are you up to today?”

Skip sighed again. “More surveillance.”

Rose chuckled. “You want me to take over later?”

“Actually, I’ve been sticking with Allen, who seems to have a gambling problem, but it would help if you could take the other engineer, Garrett Watson. He’s inside Strategic’s offices most of the day, but I’d like to know what he does at lunchtime, and if he goes anywhere interesting after work.”

“Okay. I’ll meet you in Strategic’s parking lot around eleven-thirty.”

Kate sat at the kitchen table and stared at the empty pizza box. She gave herself a mental pat on the back for having survived another evening.

No wonder Eduardo Pérez had been so anxious to find a mother for his teenaged children. Single parenthood sucked. And the fact that they were more than halfway self-sufficient now physically didn’t really help that much. She’d much rather supervise a two year old’s bath than deal with a temperamental twelve year old.

Edie had scarfed down three slices despite complaining loud and long that she was sick to death of pizza.

Kate had resisted the temptation to suggest she slow down on the calories some. The child was getting a little pudgy. But she didn’t want Edie dieting. That could all too easily slide into an eating disorder at this age.

Her throat thickened with guilt. That pudginess was more than half her fault anyway. She really should learn how to cook some low-cal, nutritious dishes.

She got up and went to the counter where she’d left her purse. She’d find some recipes right now and get the ingredients later in the week to try them out this coming weekend. She dug in her purse for her phone to search the Internet.

Her hand came up with the gizmo Hal had given her instead. She’d forgotten all about it.

Curiosity got the better of her and she turned it on. Her finger hovered over the tiny keyboard on the screen. Sucking in air, she punched in Edie’s cell phone number.

A small map appeared with an inverted teardrop-shaped marker in the middle of it. It pointed to her street, Daffodil Lane.

Kate shook her head. Of course it did. Edie was upstairs in bed.

A menu across the bottom included a small telephone receiver.
