CHAPTER SEVEN

Angela drove the twisting roads away from Marquette while Tulia looked out the window, eager and anxious in equal measure. She’d half convinced herself that she would never see the RV again, and part of her still couldn’t believe this was real.

When the other woman pulled off onto a bumpy dirt road that either didn’t have a road sign or had one that was so overgrown Tulia hadn’t spotted it, she sat up straighter. It seemed crazy to her that someone had taken her RV out here and just left it. Where would they have gone? Had they just walked into the woods on foot?

She voiced the thought aloud, and Angela responded, saying, “Ishpeming is only a mile or two further down the main road. Whoever dumped your RV here probably just walked to town. That RV would draw a lot more eyes than someone walking along the shoulder would.”

“So, they stole it from the diner just to dump it twenty miles away?” Tulia asked, frustrated.

“Don’t forget that whoever stole it probably killed Tom.” Angela shot her a look. “It was an escape vehicle. I doubt they were ever going to take it to a chop shop, or whatever it is you’re envisioning people usually do with stolen vehicles.”

She frowned but had to admit that Angela was right. The RV had probably just been a convenient way for the killer to escape the scene of the crime. Now that she had the chance to think about it more, it did make sense that they would want to dump it as soon as possible. She’d nearly driven herself crazy imagining that the thief would be galivanting around the country in her RV, but in retrospect, that would have been a good way for them to get caught.

Angela rounded a corner, and suddenly, there it was. The RV had been pulled off slightly to the side of the road, but it wasn’t for enough over to be in the ditch. Her car was still attached to the back, looking dusty but not any worse for wear other than that. There were two police vehicles, one parked in front of the RV and the other parked behind it, both with their lights flashing. Angela pulled off the road behind the first police vehicle, and as the two of them got out, an officer came over to greet them.

“Is one of you the owner of these vehicles?” he asked, gesturing at the RV and the car.

“I am,” Tulia said, stepping forward. “I’m Tulia Blake.”

“I’m Officer Willis. Can I see some ID, ma’am?”

She faltered since she didn’t even have her purse, then brightened. “I don’t have it on me, but if my purse is in there, then my driver’s license will be inside.”

She described her purse for him and waited with bated breath while he went to speak with a police officer who was in the RV. A moment later, he came out holding her purse in one hand and a rush of pure relief went through her.
