Chapter 32

Cal stepped out of the building, his head bowed as he looked at his cell phone. It was only when a car’s rude blaring caused him to glance up. Traffic was in its usual frenzy with irate drivers leaning on their horns in an effort to scatter others out of their way. Fascinated at the skirmish, he watched as drivers revved their engines with their foot to the floor before abruptly slamming on their brakes after gaining mere feet. It was like watching a game of chicken. He loved it.

He wiped the sweat off his brow. Thanks to the heat, he’d be spending another day indoors enjoying his air conditioning. After living on the streets since he was about eight, he’d come to hate the oppressive summer heat. He glanced once more down the street before turning in the opposite direction to head to his car. Something triggered in his mind in that split second. He spun back around only to duck his head when he realized what he was seeing. Luck had never been part of his life; he’d had to work hard and dirty to get everything he had. So he was a little puzzled but over the top excited with what presented itself. He leaned against the building in an attempt to use the natural design of the pillars to hide behind.

It’s her!

Three people were standing at the far end of the block and appeared to be in the midst of a heated discussion. One of them reminded him too much of his old life. What he didn’t understand was what she was doing with a man like that. She’d never given him the time of day.

The two men glared at her with angry expressions. It made him smile because she was obviously in hot water, something he relished seeing. The best part was he now knew where she was and would soon know where she lived—not that he was going to share any of that, at least not any time soon. First he had to figure out what she was up to.

Maybe it was a touch of paranoia he thought she’d glanced his way. Concerned if she spotted him it would give her the upper hand, he quickly ducked around the end of the building. A heartbeat later, he looked again only to discover that all three of them were gone.
