CHAPTER 47

Special hated the thought of wasting another evening following Bliss Fenton around and ending up with nothing to show for it.

Since Martin Zinzer spilled his guts, Special was dying to catch Bliss with another unsuspecting sap. But so far each surveillance failed to catch her in the act. All the woman did was shop at expensive stores and eat at fancy restaurants.

Special’s time would’ve been put to better use following Darius. There were a couple of times when she wanted to, but had wisely talked herself out of it. As much as she enjoyed spending time with him, she still could not quell her suspicion that he might not be on the up and up. She couldn’t forget the way he’d freaked out when she picked up his cell phone the other night. Men only did that when they had something to hide.

So what is Darius hiding?

It was after nine o’clock and she was about to head home when a thought hit her. She was almost a full-fledged private investigator. And when an investigator wanted to know something, they investigated. Without giving herself time to have a change of heart, Special made a U-turn and drove in the direction of Torrance, where Darius claimed he was working late on an important project.

Just like a man, after he got her all into him, he started changing the program. She hadn’t received flowers in two weeks and he’d stopped calling her every day just to hear her voice. What bothered her most was when he claimed to be working late the last two times she’d offered to come over.

Special hopped on the 405 Freeway and headed south. Darius claimed he was working on a project at the Toyota facility on Western. The dude sure worked a lot of late nights. She exited the freeway at Western, headed east, then made a right at the light. As she searched for an entrance into the facility, she wondered if she’d even be able to get inside to search for Darius’ car in the parking lot. The thrill of seeing if she could was what made investigative work so much fun.

She turned onto Toyota Way and rolled her car to a stop at a small guard booth. She smiled up at a tiny Latina who approached her car. The woman had to be pushing fifty and couldn’t have weighed more than a hundred pounds. They hired just about anybody to do security these days.

“May I help you?” the woman asked, peering into her car.

“I’m here to pick up my sister. She’s having car trouble. She works in that building over there.” Special pointed at a building behind a fountain. This was a sprawling complex and Special had no idea which building Darius might be working in.

The woman hesitated.

Special held up her cell phone. “Do you need me to call her?”

The woman paused a second longer, then waved her through. “That’s okay. Go ahead.”

See, that’s why crazy people can come over here and blow us up.
