Chapter Eight

Shara was scared. Not fear for her life scared, but coming to a strange place, not knowing anybody, not knowing Justin all that well scared. She'd never done anything before like the stuff she'd done today. Using her mom's credit card, she'd accomplished finding a car service online. She'd been chauffeured to BWI. No one had asked any questions about why they were picking her up at the mall. She'd also made her airline reservations online and again no one had asked any questions. After all, she had a driver's license for ID.

Justin was older than she thought. He must be in his twenties, rather than his late teens. With his computer set up in the living room of his three-bedroom ranch house, he was a bit geekier than she expected, too. But he'd shown up at the airport in his truck to meet her. He'd even stopped and gotten her something to eat and told her she could crash with a couple of the girls who worked for him.

She didn't know what work they did for him, but she was sure she was going to find out. One of them—Courtney—had stopped in to meet her. She'd worn tons of Native American jewelry. Shara loved jewelry, and when she'd commented on it, Courtney said she'd made some of it herself. If Shara was interested in making jewelry, she could drive her to one of the bead shops where she shopped and Shara could get her bearings in the city.

Courtney and Justin had exchanged a look. Justin had smiled and said that was great with him. He had some business to attend to. They could all meet here afterward. So here they were. Courtney had gone to the bathroom to freshen up. From the looks Courtney gave Justin, Shara suspected they were involved. If not, she guessed Courtney wanted to be.

Justin motioned Shara to the sofa. "We need to have a talk about what you're going to do while you're here."

She wasn't sure what he meant, but there was nothing threatening about him. His longish, dark brown hair fell around his face as if he didn't care about style. His rectangular-shaped wire-rimmed glasses sat high on his nose. He was lanky and tall, but in no way foreboding. She'd liked his e-mails and so far, she liked him. Oh, not in that girl-boy way she'd liked Brad, but enough to know he could be her friend. That's what he'd been so far.

"So Courtney took you to her favorite bead shop?"

"Yeah, it was called Zuni. I've never seen so many beads and semi-precious stones. They even had Sleeping Beauty turquoise. The sales clerk showed it to me. She let me slide the beads through my hands. I can never pay for anything like that, but maybe sometime I could afford some of the lapis and the jasper. Courtney says she uses it all the time. I just love her stuff."

"Courtney's good at everything she does."

Justin's smile almost confirmed the fact that he and Courtney had a thing going on.
