Chapter Twenty-Eight

The next morning, well before dawn, Abby tiptoed into my bedroom and placed a note on the nightstand. I was half awake and asked, “You leaving?”

She nodded. “Yes, I've got a plane to catch and don't want to be late.”

I sat up. “A plane? Where are you going?”

She shook her head and whispered, “I'll tell you all about it when I get back. Promise.”

She leaned in, kissed me on the cheek, and then left the room. A few minutes later, I heard the front door open, followed by the sound of her driving off in the minivan.

I closed my eyes and went back to sleep.

Three hours later, the sun streaming into my room told me it was time to get up. Even though I didn't have anything to do and couldn't go anywhere, I wasn't going to spend the next two days just lying in bed.

Remembering the note Abby had left on the nightstand, I picked it up and read it.

It said, “Walker, I'm chasing down a lead on the guy who hit you. It may not go anywhere but it could. I'll tell you about it when I get back.”

The note continued. “When you go out on the beach today, be careful. You're going to meet two people. One is going to try to hurt you. The other will help you find Bob.

“Don't forget what the doctor said. No drinking, no driving, no internet, and no sex.

“Get plenty of rest. You'll need it when I get back.

“Abby.”

I reread the note to make sure I had read it right the first time.

She’d said she was chasing down a lead on the guy who crashed into me. She didn't tell me where she was going, but before she left she had mentioned having to catch a plane.

I wasn't sure why she wouldn't tell me more. If she had, I could have gone with her. I could have helped her chase the guy down. But maybe she had a good reason for not wanting me to go along. Maybe the reason had something to do with what else she had written in the note. Something about me meeting two people on the beach.

I reread that part again.

“When you go out on the beach today, be careful. You're going to meet two people. One of them is going to try to hurt you. The other will help you find Bob.”

If anyone else had told me something like that, I wouldn't have believed them. No one can see the future.

But Abby has a gift. I'd seen her do some unbelievable things, and for me not to take her prediction seriously would have been a mistake.

I decided if there was someone on the beach who could help me find Bob, I needed to be out there looking for them.

The problem was both the beach and day were long, and my chance of being in the right place at the right time was slim.

First, I needed to eat breakfast then change into beach clothes and lather on the sunscreen.
