Chapter 25

The blue Chevy choked out a miserable puff of exhaust as Gracie cut the wheel hard and turned into the parking lot of Baker County Memorial Hospital.

“You sure you want to do this?” Katie asked her from the passenger's seat. She was glad the Sheriff had sent her home from work early but she wasn't thrilled with the thought of having to spend half the afternoon listening to Gracie fight with her mother.

“If we're lucky, she'll have given up by now.”

Katie blinked at Gracie. “We're talking about your mother and Addison. She's never going to willingly take her claws out of that boy. Besides, her van's here. See it parked near the front entrance?” Katie pointed at the aged minivan.

Gracie sighed as she turned down the nearest parking aisle. “Mom needs to get a life. I think she's one of the main reasons Addy won't keep a girlfriend. He's spent so much time trying to get rid of one woman, I don't think he wants to commit to another one.”

“We're looking for the new Chevy, right?” Katie changed the topic completely.

“Yeah. David somehow forgot the truck when they were breaking Addy out of the hospital.” Gracie's disbelief was clear in her voice as she drove slowly through the roads of cars, scanning the parking lot for the gold truck.

“David forgot the truck?” Katie ran her hands through her honey-colored hair and adjusted her ponytail. Sweat was dripping down the back of her neck thanks to the blue truck's non-working air conditioner. “Our David forgot a truck?”

“David hasn't been acting much like himself lately.” Gracie spun the wheel hard and turned into the next row. “I think he's a little bit preoccupied with Trish's boobs.”

Katie laughed. “She's surprisingly hot.”

“You noticed that too?” Gracie pushed her sunglasses back onto her head like a headband. “Never in a thousand years would I ever have pegged her as David's type.”

“I don't think David even has a type,” Katie commented idly. “Not like Addy does. I swear every girl Addison has brought around in the last two years has been wearing so much make up that she could double as a rodeo clown.”

“Too much make up and not enough clothes,” Gracie replied. “God knows that's the way my brother likes them.”

“He's always been like that.” Katie stared out the passenger's side window. “Found it.”

“Found what?” Gracie started to turn into the next aisle.

“The truck. Go left. Its about three rows over on the end of the aisle.” Katie pointed across the parked cars.

“Oh good.” Gracie cut her wheel to the left. “Do you see my mother?”

“Not currently.”

“Even better.”

Gracie gunned the engine on the old truck and passed the keys to the Chevy across the cab to Katie. “Just get in it and drive.”

“You want me to take the new truck?” Katie took the keys with a surprised look on her face. “I know y'all said I could borrow the truck if I helped you pick it up but I thought y'all meant the blue truck.
