Nineteen

Sitting in the living room waiting for Johnnie, mostly staring out at the lights of the city, Amy finally gave up and headed down the hall to his bedroom. She took her time changing out of the tight jeans, crop top and heels she’d put on earlier, wanting to look good for him, and instead slipped into one of his Ranger T-shirts.

It was well past midnight, but as she slipped beneath the covers of his bed, she wasn’t the least bit sleepy. Sometime tonight, Johnnie would be talking to a drug enforcement agent and that agent might have news about Rachael. As it got later and Johnnie didn’t come home, her nerves grew more and more taut and kept her on edge. She was dying to know what he had found out about Rachael. He might even have learned something that would tell them whether her sister was alive or dead.

But Johnnie was a night person. He worked late hours and had warned her he probably wouldn’t be home until the bars closed.

She glanced at the clock. One in the morning. She was beginning to feel a little drowsy. Maybe if she closed her eyes, she would fall asleep. If she did, she knew Johnnie would wake her when he climbed into bed.

The thought made her pulse kick up. All she had to do was think of that strong male body and she was hot for him. It was kind of amazing, considering she had never felt that way about a man before.

She yawned as she reached over to turn off the light on the bedside table, heard the sound of the front door opening, and paused. The thud of heavy boots coming down the hall had her sitting up in bed, swinging her legs to the edge of the mattress.

“Johnnie?” she called, though she was already so aware of him she recognized the cadence of his footsteps.

“It’s me,” he answered, stepping into the room.

Amy shot out of bed and hurried toward him. “Did you meet with Wheeler? What did he say?”

Johnnie rubbed his forehead. “He didn’t have much. He knew about the plane trip to Belize. He said there was a woman aboard.”

Amy’s stomach knotted. “So Rachael was one of the passengers.”

“Could be. Or, could be any other woman in L.A.”

“But the timing…everything fits. Did…did he say if the woman returned?”

“Said he didn’t know.”

Amy gripped his arm. “She could be down there, Johnnie. My sister could be in Belize. I have to go, see if anyone there has seen her.”

Johnnie gently caught her shoulders. “I’ll go. I’ll get a plane out tomorrow if I can. Wheeler gave me the name of a contact, someone who can help me while I’m there. I’ll go down, ask around, see if I can find anything that will prove she was actually in Belize.”

Amy felt a rush of relief. “We need to get on the internet, book some airline tickets. I’ll pay, of course. The pay at the club isn’t much but my tips have been terrific.
