Cade went home and dug through his kitchen, finding the phone number Andie’s mother had left for him.

By his estimation, Andie should have arrived at Itasca’s tiny county airport already. For whatever reason, she must have listened to his voicemail and decided to ignore him.

He deserved an explanation, especially having this mysterious George take her to the airport, and if Roxanne could be believed, kissing her. Andie must have known how worried he was about his mother and how much stress he was under. Just because she was mad at him for intruding into her family, didn’t mean she should blow him off with no news and the kissing display.

He entered the phone number for her parents’ house and her mother picked it up.

“Hi, Pam, this is Cade. I was wondering how Mr. Wales is doing.”

“Oh, how thoughtful of you to call. James is doing better, driving me nuts with his speaking machine,” Pam said in a breezy tone. “By the way, we haven’t heard back on whether Andie was going to come home this week or postpone it again.”

“Wait. What did you just say? Andie’s not with you?” Icicles penetrated his skin and chilled his heart.

“I thought she was with you,” Pam said. “What’s happened? She hasn’t called, and all my calls go to voicemail.”

“Same here. This is not good, not good,” he muttered. “When was the last time you heard from her?”

“A few days ago. She was talking about postponing the trip home, since she thought she had a lead for a job.”

“Then she had to be lying to me. She said she spoke to you and that James had a setback and she had to travel home immediately.”

“Oh, my, no. We haven’t heard from her.” Pam’s voice took on a panicked tone. “Do you think she met with foul play?”

“I hope not. Let’s calm down,” Cade said, even though his stomach roiled and sweat popped from his forehead. “I’ll ask around here, her friends, former boss, neighbors. Maybe she went out of town for a job interview.”

“And forgot to tell you? That’s unlike her. What if she’s lost her memory and wandered off? Maybe she thinks I called her, or dreamed it up. Cade, I’m heading over.”

“Not yet, please. I’m sorry to alarm you. Hold on until I find more information.”

“Don’t forget to file a missing person’s report. The police won’t act for twenty-four hours. When was the last time you saw her?”

“Yesterday afternoon. I think twenty-four hours is up. I’ll do that, but in the meantime, call me if you hear from her.” Cade could barely breathe when he hung up.

Had Andie really run away with another man? Did she even know who he was? What had Roxanne said, that the man was tall, dark, and Latino? Not much to go on.

He called Ronaldo. “I need Sylvia and Leroy’s phone numbers. Andie’s missing.”

“Missing? Since when?” Ronaldo asked.

“Yesterday evening.”

“You have no idea where she is?”

Something about the way Ronaldo inflected the word where gave Cade the creeps.
