Chapter Thirteen

Maggie gulped, afraid to ask the question, but knowing she had to hear the answer. “You saw him last week?”

Scooter nodded. “Yeah, they ran a whole Star Wars marathon on TV last week. I spent the whole day watching them.”

Are you kidding? Maggie rolled her eyes and pointed at Jeremy. “No, I mean this guy in particular. Do you know who he actually is?”

Scooter looked at her as if she were the confused one. “Yeah, totally. I’m not an idiot.”

Maggie waited. “Well, who is he?”

Scooter flashed a grin at Jeremy. “Only the best Jedi Knight in history, Obi Wan-Kenobi.”

Maggie buried her head in her hands. Jeremy put a hand on her shoulder. “Let me try.”

He took his Jedi cape off and draped it over his arm. “Okay, now I am just a guy. Can you tell us if you have ever seen me in person, here at the motel?”

Scooter squinted at Jeremy. “Nope. Sorry dude. Am I supposed to know you? Were you, like, one of my teachers in high school? ’Cause I smoked a lot of weed back then, and some of high school is a little blurry.”

Back then? Like last week? Maggie took a deep breath, reigning in her patience. She was a lawyer and a mother of two teenage boys; she knew how to gain information. “Scooter, do you remember the police coming in and questioning you about some people you might have seen at the motel?”

He nodded. “Oh ya, totally. Big bald guy, serious cop. He was asking about some chick and her boyfriend that had checked in last week.”

Jeremy held out his phone with the picture of Charlotte on it. “Do you recognize this woman? Is this the ‘chick’ he was asking about?”

Again, Scooter squinted at the small picture. Maybe he needed glasses. She could ask Lori if he could borrow hers. “Yeah, that’s her. I remember her.” He wiggled his eyebrows at Jeremy. “She was wearing this tight dress. I think it was like purplish, and it was totally low cut. She had this big blond hair and big…” He emphasized the last “big” and held his hands out as if he were juggling melons.

“We get the picture,” Maggie snapped. “Was she alone or with someone else?”

“She was with a dude and he kept looking at her big…” More melon-juggling motions.

“All right, forget about her big…melons.” Geez, is this all men think about? Maggie sighed and tried again. “What can you tell us about the guy?”

Scooter laughed. “Hey dudette, settle down. Don’t be jealous.” He eyed Maggie’s snug black tank top. “Yours are nice too. I like the whole Lara Croft thing doing it with a Jedi idea.”

Jeremy put a hand on Maggie’s arm, holding her back from pulling one of her Lara Croft guns from their holster and using it on this guy. The guns didn’t really shoot ammunition, but she could whap him upside the head with them. And she might have to whack Jeremy too, since he was grinning like a fool, as if he were enjoying this whole discussion.
