Jess sighed with relief when she saw lights in the distance. They had been driving for over two hours, but most of it had been spent circling around after reaching roadblocks due to bridges washed out by the storm. It didn’t help that all the streetlights were still out.

She was starting to wonder if she should give up and stop for the night. Through the rain she saw a sign for a restaurant and bar, advertising king-size steaks and stream-fresh salmon. The parking lot was packed with big cars, big motorcycles, and big trucks with huge tires. Country music vibrated in a throbbing bass over the loudspeakers.

She was also worrying about Hawk and her Jeep, truth be told. The engine was quirky at the best of times, and Jess had learned how to baby it for maximum performance. But Hawk didn’t know about that. He also didn’t know about her old problem with the fuel cap.

“Can you get in touch with Hawk—I mean Lieutenant Mackenzie?”

“Only if it’s an emergency, ma’am.”

Jess studied the darkening sky. Trees bowed and pitched in the wind and leaves skittered across the wet road. “It could turn into an emergency. There’s a problem about the Jeep that I forgot to mention to him.”

The driver frowned. “What kind of problem?”

“The fuel pump. If the plug gets dirty, he’ll have to clean it.”

“If not, what will happen?”

Jess rolled her shoulders tensely. “The motor could stall. He won’t have much warning either.”

The driver drummed two fingers on the dashboard, staring out into the rain. After a long time, he reached down for the cell phone on the seat beside him.
