LA was a sprawling mess that Court navigated with no help from the GPS or maps, which made Joshua nervous. Bud had liked maps. He kept maps in his truck, in Danica’s minivan, in his office at the quarry, and by his chair in his own family room. Joshua knew that Caleb and Michael liked maps as much as he did. Driving around a strange place with only verbal directions caused him to sweat, even though he kept the air conditioning blasting in the rental car.

“Turn right at the next light,” Court would say even after they had discussed going a different way. “Traffic is getting bad, it’ll be easier. I’ll tell you what to do.”

Joshua didn’t like it, but Court was the boss. She spent the day talking to every security guard who would be scheduled to work at the Global Forces hospital the next day. She took her targets out for coffee, she charmed them and gave them money and pot. Joshua had never seen anyone operate like her in his life. Brooke gave her information and she turned it into action.

“You’re like a politician,” Joshua said at the end of the day, before he handed over the keys to the valet at the hotel. He tried to remember the camo-wearing Court of the desert, with few facial expressions and the tough attitude. “You know just what to say to which people.”

She had been a fantastic boss, letting people organize their own work and do what they were best at. Joshua was sure that everyone she was meeting with was anxious to make her happy by accepting her bribes. Sure, those people wanted the pot and the money, but more than that, they wanted to see Court smile. Her smile made him feel good.

“Tomorrow night is our last night in town, or our last night of freedom. So, we’re going to go by Dad’s and drive to the base hospital again. I booked massages for us when we get done with that,” Court announced. “And then we’re having lobster dinners, or whatever you want, but I want lobster.”

Joshua wasn’t sure if he’d ever had lobster in his life. He reflected over various seafood dinners and found he couldn’t remember lobster at all. He’d have some tonight! With lobster sauce or whatever it came with. Even with the box in his pocket he wasn’t sure that he’d make it through the next thirty-six hours alive. Although Court was trying to look tough, Joshua could see that she wasn’t sure how the “caper” would end.

“Just stop at the gate,” Court told Joshua when they came to the entrance of the gated community. With
