Chapter Twelve

“YES, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. That’s exactly what I needed. I really appreciate your help. Uh-huh, you too. Bye.” Pat pushed the end button on the cordless and scribbled something in his notebook. Aelissm took the free opportunity to admire him, delighted by the easy manner he’d had in speaking with the person on the other end of the phone line. She was more than a little aroused by the lines of his body as he leaned against the snack bar and by the fluid dance of forearm muscle as he wrote whatever it was he found prudent on that little, spiral-bound notepad. His head was cocked slightly to the side and a frown of concentration occasionally pinched his brows together.

Mama wants to play, Aeli thought, then blushed.

He liked to wear clothes that fit, but left something to the imagination, she’d noticed. His jeans and the plain white t-shirt tucked into them were loose enough to be comfortable, but tight enough to tantalize her with a glimpse of the toned body underneath. So, subconsciously at least, Pat knew he was attractive, though she doubted even his baser brain knew just how sexy he was. If he wasn’t so distractingly handsome, she might have been irritated and impatient that he was keeping her waiting. But watching him was so much more fun than worrying about what he might or might not have found out from his numerous phone calls this morning.

It was a while before Pat looked up at Aelissm. His hazel eyes glittered as he waved the book. “Got it.”

Aelissm jumped up from her seat on the couch and snatched the notepad from Pat’s hand. She scanned down the page, ignoring his detective notations and froze when she saw it. The address of the phone Adam had called from three days ago. Vicious glee swamped her for a moment. They knew where Adam was. This whole twisted game was about to come to an end. Then, when her mind slowed enough to focus, her heart sank. There was no way this would lead them right to him. It wasn’t over yet.

“The Parasite Motel?” she asked. “That’s where he was?”

“I wrote Paradise, not Parasite.”

“I know.” She looked up at him and found him smiling. “What’s so great about this, Pat?”

“Where’s the motel located?”

“Montana Street. It’s the main drag through the north side of town. The motel’s almost right across from the northern access to the interstate.”

“Convenient.”

“A little too convenient, thank you,” Aeli replied unhappily. “Unless you’re going to tell me that number is from a phone in a room at the Parasite.”

“No, it’s not. But it does belong to the pay phone in the motel’s restaurant. In the lounge, actually. It’s possible he just stopped in to eat and use the phone, but he might be staying at the motel or somewhere nearby.” Pat frowned thoughtfully. “We don’t know how long he’s been in Devyn, or in Montana, for that matter, but we know he’s here now. If he’s been here for a while, he’s probably found some way to get money.
