Chapter 11

It had been days since that night at the hospital and she couldn’t help but grow concerned since there was still no sign of Matt. All right, not just concerned, a little freaked out. She worried he’d do something rash. Like hurt himself. Or worse.

After the first twenty-four hours, she contacted Max, who then told her about his five-day suspension. However, his older brother hadn’t seen him either. He told her at that point he wasn’t concerned and that Matt was probably holed up in “that goddamn tent of his.”

When Carly didn’t see hide nor hair of him on day two, her worry went into warp speed. No use of the kitchen, no use of the bathroom. He could be either in his tent dead…or he simply disappeared.

The first option scared the shit out of her.

So, she called his parents. She called Marc, Amanda, and even stopped by Teddy’s salon. No one had seen him.

She even went back to the police department to talk to Max a second time, who simply stated “he’ll turn up eventually,” causing Carly to shoot him a nasty glare and stomp out in frustration.

Now three days after her last visit with Max, Matt still hadn’t returned. She stood over the kitchen sink, staring out of the window at the sand-colored monstrosity in the middle of the yard.

She didn’t want to invade his privacy. She wasn’t family. Not even his girlfriend. She really had no right to go into his tent. However, she had to put her mind at ease that he wasn’t in there. Or maybe he left a clue to where he went.

Something. Anything.

Although, she feared what she might find. She could call one of his brothers to come over to check the tent. She could call Manning Grove PD and have them do a welfare check. But again, Max just might squash that, thinking she worried over nothing.

Or she could just take the matter into her own hands, and screw what anyone else thought.

Before she could change her mind, she dug through the kitchen junk drawer and snagged a flashlight, switching it on to make sure it worked. Even though it was daylight, she wasn’t sure if he had any lighting inside. She doubted there was any electricity at all in there since not even an extension cord ran to the tent.

After blowing out a nervous breath, she strode with determination out of the house to the front entrance of the canvas tent. Staring at it for a few moments, she tried to work up the needed courage to just go in and deal with whatever she might find. Her heart pounded hard enough she could feel it in her throat.

She was a doctor; she could do this.

Doctor or not, she’d never found one of her lovers dead.

And she never wanted to.

She sniffed the air, making sure she smelled nothing funky first. Only the odd odor of canvas hit her, but her stomach still did a little flip as she stared at the metal zipper tab.
