Chapter 10

Tall and thin with big red hair. As it turned out, big red hair was an understatement. Yolanda Green sported a bright red beehive that would have made her grandmother proud. Not only was Yolanda dressed as some sort of tribute to the sixties, but she seemed to have embraced the free-love lifestyle I personally witnessed as she engaged in a lip-lock with one Elvis after another.

“Yolanda?” Zak had finally been able to catch her between men and stepped up to introduce himself.

“Well. hello there, handsome.” Yolanda licked her bright red lips. “Are you alone?”

“He’s with me,” I said as I hurried forward to stand next to my husband before this very aggressive woman got her claws into him.

Yolanda raised a brow. “I see.” She turned her attention back to Zak. I couldn’t help noticing the way she leaned forward to expose her ample bosom. “What can I do for you?”

Zak smiled in a manner I found much too flirty, but I was sure it was just a tool to help loosen Yolanda up so she would tell us whatever she knew. From the way she was throwing herself at Zak, and the way I’d seen her throwing herself at every other man within a ten-mile radius, I was pretty sure she was in on the intimate details relating to the personal lives of quite a few of the Elvises.

“I understand you’re a regular at this sort of competition,” Zak began, “and know many of the Elvis contestants personally?”

Yolanda ran a long red nail up Zak’s arm, paused, then ran it down again. I wanted to slap her but refrained from doing so.

“I do have a bit of an Elvis fetish,” Yolanda replied. “I don’t suppose you’d want to borrow a costume and go for a test drive?”

Hello. I’m standing right here!

“Actually,” Zak answered, after sending me a warning glance, “I was hoping you knew something about Calvin Jobs—Elvis #3—and his disappearance from the contest.”

Yolanda raised a brow. “You a friend of his?”

Zak lifted a shoulder. “A friend of a friend. Do you know anything?”

Licking her lips, Yolanda replied, “I might. Buy me a drink?”

Zak glanced at me. I nodded. Yolanda grabbed him by the arm and dragged him toward the tent that had been set up to sell alcohol and other cold beverages. I figured Zak would be at least fifteen minutes, so I decided to look around to see if I could find Elvis #2. The Elvises all seemed to be loitering in the area, mingling with judges and spectators. Elvis #2, Jason Michaels, supposedly was the most convincing of them all when in full costume. Based on what I’d heard, it appeared the contest would most likely have come down to Calvin Jobs and Jason Michaels. With Calvin out of the way, Jason was at a huge advantage.

“Excuse me,” I said to a woman who wore an ID tag indicating she worked with the competition. “Can you tell me which contestant is Elvis #2? I believe his name is Jason Michaels.
