Christmas revelers lined Rice Street waiting for the parade and the kickoff of the annual Festival of Lights. The sun hung low in the sky, and Bane drove on through town out to Kalapaki Bay where they were to meet with Ron. He parked down the street.

Leia hadn’t said much after they’d talked. He still felt raw and unsettled. There had been tears in her eyes, and he had to admit his heart had leaped when she said she loved him. And he knew she did, in her own way maybe. But he no longer was sure her kind of love was the lasting kind that would see them through ups and downs. At least it didn’t appear to be.

He pulled the key from the ignition and glanced at her from the corner of his eye. Her long brown hair was in a braid that hung over one shoulder. He’d hoped to see it spill over a white nightgown on their wedding night. That might not happen now.

He opened his door. “Ron said he’d meet us at his house just down the street. We’ll walk instead of park in his drive, just in case it tips off the kidnapper.”

“There he is.” Leia pointed out Ron standing along the side of the road.

When Ron saw he had their attention, he started off at a brisk pace down the street. They waited a couple of minutes, then followed. When he entered a small single-story house, they went up the walk and rang the bell.

He opened it immediately and ushered them into a small living room. The sofa and chairs were leather, and seashells and other beach decor lightened the dark furniture. A small Christmas tree was on a table by the window. The seashell decorations were all white.

“Have a seat.” He motioned to the sofa. “I have a lead on your guys. They both arrived here last week from Honolulu. They did not fill out the line of the form with their location here, but Fletcher has a cousin who lives here.” Ron held up his hand when Bane started to speak. “The cousin lives in Waimea. Even if Fletcher’s not there, we might get a lead on his whereabouts.”

Bane frowned. “But wouldn’t his probation officer have to know where he is?”

“You’d think so, but I called his probation officer. He had no idea Fletcher or Chambers left O’ahu.”

“So they’re both in violation of probation,” Leia said.

“Yep. Which is good for us. I ordered a warrant for their arrest for violation of parole.” Ron’s voice was grim. “I’ve got an officer on his way to the house now.”

Leia leaped to her feet. “What? I want to be there to protect Eva. You should have called us and told us to head that way instead of here.”

“Calm down,” Ron said. “All the guy is going to do is ask if the cousin’s heard from Fletcher. It will be all about probation. The other reason I didn’t send you that way is I read the report of a brawl in a bar here in town last night.
