Chapter 5

“Isa, are you sure this is where we are supposed to meet?” It looked like an old, abandoned warehouse.

“Yes Janet. I’m just running a few minutes late. Why don’t you go inside and wait for me there?” Isa said.

Because this place looks scary as shit. “I don’t mind waiting for you outside.”

“Janet, I don’t want Drake to drive by and see you out there. It will ruin everything.”

She couldn’t picture why Drake would come all the way out here. There was nothing to see. It looked like it hadn’t been used in years.

“Why would he come here?” Why are we here?

“He might be looking at expanding the resort.”

Isa must be so bored being home that she actually thought Drake would leave the ocean-view location for this. It definitely was secluded and was perfect if he was trying to ruin the reputation of New Hope Resort. Maybe call it End of the Line.

“Isa, I’m not sure this is a good idea.” That didn’t mean she’d leave her friend to go there alone. Isa was a wife and mother. Janet needed to suck it up, go inside the stupid building, and take a look. She could snap some pictures and text them to Isa, maybe she could prevent her from coming here as well. “I changed my mind. I’m going in. I’ll let you know if it’s even worth your time coming.” Which I already know it’s not.

“Thanks Janet. I really appreciate this. I’ll hang home until I hear from you.”

Janet chuckled as she ended the call. Isa hadn’t even left the house yet. At this rate, Janet could be in and out even before Isa got close.

Getting out of her truck, she went to the door and knocked. No one answered. Probably because it was vacant. Janet hoped it was locked, which would provide her with the perfect excuse not to go inside. Unfortunately, as she turned the knob, the door opened. Janet took a deep breath and went inside.

Immediately she realized it was freezing inside. Was this a freezer of some kind? There were large sheets of plastic that blocked her from seeing any farther. I think I’ve seen enough. Not that she’d really seen anything.

She turned and was about to head right back out the door when she heard Vinny’s voice. What the heck is he doing here? When she finally caught a glimpse of him, she was shocked to see him wearing a wool overcoat. It definitely was appropriate for the room’s climate.

“What are you doing here?” Janet asked.

“Waiting for you.” Holding up a white scarf and coat to her, Vinny said, “I think you’re going to need these.”

Janet didn’t take them. Instead she asked, “Vinny, what’s going on? I’m supposed to meet Isa here to look at the property.”

“No. You’re here to meet me for our date.”

She was so confused. “That’s tonight after work. This is my lunch break, which doesn’t allow time for a date.” I’m not even supposed to have left in the first place.
