Our history together was why, when Danny and I arrived at our destination a short while later, just as the Oregon sun was setting, I was able to look him straight in the eye and casually say, “Later we’re going to pretend this never happened. But right now, I need you to pick a lock for me. Okay? Let’s go.”

He didn’t move. “You must have me confused with someone else. Someone you don’t constantly badger about law and order.”

He had a point. I was concerned about Danny relapsing into unlawful behavior. Still . . . “We have twenty-four minutes. Go!”

“Sorry.” Wryly, Danny patted his jeans pockets. “I must have left my bump key and torsion wrench in my other pants.”

“Har, har. Pretend not to be a criminal another time.”

He looked hurt. “I’ve reformed. That’s what you wanted.”

“Right now, I want you bad, sneaky, and capable of getting into Carissa’s Churn PDX trailer so I can have a look around.”

“Oh, is that all?” Danny’s cocky grin reappeared. “You should have said so. I thought this was an ethics test.” He nodded. “Give me four minutes, then meet me at Carissa’s trailer.” He returned Declan’s iPad to me, opened the van’s door, then paused before getting out. “Try to be cool.”

“I’m always cool!”

My bodyguard cast me a skeptical look, then got out of the van. I swear, he swaggered all the way there, from my street-side parking spot to Cartorama, four whole blocks away.

The minute Danny disappeared from sight, I grabbed my bag, got out of the world’s ugliest tour van, and followed him. I was impatient to get going, sure. We were on a tight schedule. But mostly I was worried that if I sat there, I’d draw a crowd of confused kids who’d mistake my van for an ice-cream truck.

The last thing I needed was a pack of hungry kids and a rioting throng of angry parents getting between me and what I was there for—any evidence I could find (or, more to the point, not find) to clear Carissa of suspicion. Because if I heard one more person cast doubt on my friend from college, it would be too soon.
