Chapter 12

“I n Rainy’s files,” Alex asked Kayla, “did you come across the name of Rainy’s personal doctor?” They had just dropped Tory, Darcy and her son off at the airport for their respective trips home after an emotional gathering at the house where Marshall Carrington now lived alone. Christine was still there, waiting for a ride back to Athena Academy.

“Yes,” Kayla said. “Dr. Halburg. Deborah, I think. I’ve got the address and number written down if you want it.”

“Good. Thanks. Yes, I think I’ll go and have a talk with her before I leave Tucson.”

It was after four, but she might catch the doctor.

Kayla nodded. “I can take Christine home.” She glanced over at Alex as they waited for the signal to change so they could exit the airport terminal area. “Do you think there’s anything to what Shannon asked? That bit about medical experiments?”

Alex suppressed a shudder; that memory had crossed her mind more than once since the confrontation, and given her misgivings about her own appendectomy, had struck home in a very personal way.

“I don’t know. It’s a frightening thought. But that was a very specific question, and I have to wonder where she got the idea from in the first place. And the idea that we suspect the crash might not have been an accident.”

“Especially since we’re the only ones who knew,” Kayla said.

“I know. And you and I have been careful not to talk on a cell connection that could be picked up.”

Kayla nodded as she tapped a finger restlessly on the steering wheel. “I even called Tory at home the night she got back, rather than trying to call her cell while she was in Britain.”

“And you know none of us has said anything to anyone outside Athena.”

“But still she comes up with those particular questions. It’s another suspicious thing to add to a stack that’s already too big.”

“It’s getting messier and messier all the time,” Alex agreed. “But we’ve got to get to the bottom of it.”

“Are you going to be able to stay away from work much longer?” Kayla asked.

“I’ve still got a bit more personal leave time coming,” she said. “My boss has been a bit of a pain about it, but since I’ve never taken any personal leave until now, he’s stayed fairly calm. He’s not happy about me taking it all at once, but there’s not a whole lot he can do.”

“Stick you on graveyard and make you file?” Kayla suggested wryly.

“He hasn’t tried that yet,” Alex said. “Is that the voice of experience speaking?”

“Yep.”

“Who’d you tick off?”

“Which time?” Kayla asked.

Alex’s mouth curved slightly. “That often, huh? How did you do that? Besides being female, Navajo and smart, I mean.”

“That isn’t enough?”

They both smiled then, relaxed and easy, and it was almost like old times between them. And it felt good, Alex admitted. Darned good.

The signal finally changed to green and Kayla moved the SUV smoothly into traffic. Once she was settled in a lane, she spoke again.
