CHAPTER 10

I walked in the door, ready for a furry body to come rushing to greet me. As I set down my purse and car keys for the onslaught, nothing happened, and disappointment flowed over me. Where was Coco? Where were my kids?

Hearing a bark from the backyard, I hurried to the patio doors and stepped outside onto the deck. Savannah sat on the porch swing with Josh’s friend Chloe, both watching Josh and Coco play with the Frisbee.

“Hey mom,” Savannah called. Chloe sent me a wave, and I joined them on the swing, asking Chloe how her summer had been so far.

“I guess nothing like you guys,” she said, thinking about the story Savannah had told her. It was amazing I was still alive after a mob boss had put a hit on me. How did I do it? It almost sounded like Savannah had exaggerated most of it, because… how could one person get into so much trouble?

I frowned. Not her, too. “Uh yeah… there were a few intense moments, but I hope she told you about all the good stuff.”

Chloe nodded, thinking about Savannah’s huge crush on Miguel. But she knew Savannah would kill her if she mentioned that little confession that Savannah was in love with him, so she just smiled and nodded.

What? She loved Miguel? I mean… sure she had a crush… but love? What the freak? I swallowed a few times to calm down. She was only thirteen, so it was probably just a passing thing. Nothing to worry about, right?

Chloe blinked, wondering why my eyes had widened in panic. “Uh… yeah she did. It sounded like you had a great time.” Since Savannah was staring daggers at her, and I looked like I might faint, she changed the subject. “I love your dog. Josh told me all about him. It’s crazy to think his owner was murdered.”

“I know, right?” Grateful for the change of subject, I continued. “It’s pretty sad, but I’m glad Coco’s with us now.”

“How’s the investigation going?” Savannah asked. She was eager to steer the conversation as far away from Miguel and New York as possible, and questioned why she’d ever confided in Chloe at all. It was dangerous around me, because I seemed to have a sixth sense about things, and she didn’t want me to know how deep her feelings went.

“Uh… well, I made some progress today.”

Coco bounded over to greet me before getting a drink of water from a bucket Josh had filled. Josh sat on the lawn in the shade beside us, and Coco sat beside him, so I told them about my meeting with Lance Hobbs and his dog, Scout. “He said Coco was an amazing search-and-rescue dog, and he asked if I had any desire to work with him. He even offered to train me.”

“Really? That’s cool,” Josh said, thinking that it made sense to continue with the search-and-rescue team if Coco was that good. “Would you like that, buddy?” Josh ruffled Coco’s head, and he barked yup.
