Early the next morning I left her sleeping in my bed, a note next to Norbert on the bedside table telling her I would call her later, tell her I was going to an early breakfast with my parents and would spend the day going into a late dinner with them.

I clenched tightly around the steering wheel, driving down the freeway for hours, only looking up when the bright blue and white sign stating Tennessee was welcoming me into their borders.

Chapter 20

I pulled off at a gas station and a diner to refuel the car and get some coffee, I was somewhere in the area where the CIA and FBI Intel stated the Church of the Rising Son was setting up their main compound. I stood outside, leaning against the Lincoln as I pumped the gas, enjoying the warmer temperatures and snow free roads that came with being further south.

I frowned, watching semi-trucks roll past on the highway, feeling a drop in my stomach thinking about when Claire would figure out where I had gone. It was only a matter of time before she did, I couldn't fool a genius, I could only get a jump start on her, hope I could get in, get out and back to D.C. before she came for me.

Folding up the map with my notes and plotting, I walked into the diner. A typical roadside diner with neon signs, vintage coca cola and beer signs lining the walls. There was long bar top style seating facing the kitchen and a handful of booths with bright red vinyl seats along the windows. My only other companions in the diner were a few truckers at the bar, reading newspapers as they ate elephant sized hamburgers, an old couple having their early supper along the window that faced the gas station and one lone man in the back eating a piece of pie reading the local paper.

I took a seat at the counter, sliding on the cushy red vinyl seat, setting my map and phone that was teasing me with one bar of signal, disappearing the moment I picked the phone up to try to use anything. I set the phone down as a waitress, who looked like she was Flo's body double from the TV show Alice, came up to me. Red hair piled up on her head in a perfectly combed and sprayed rat's nest, heavy makeup, and a bright mustard yellow with white collar waitress uniform. When I looked at her name tag I had to look down at the menu to hold in the laugh. Flo.

"Hey darlin' what can I get you?"

Flo's southern accent told me she may have been in a pageant or two in her youth, a southern twang of a southern lady. I smiled, having recovered, "A cup of coffee for now."

Flo turned to fill the cup while I looked over the menu, all the usual fare for a greasy spoon roadside diner. When Flo returned with my hot cup of coffee, setting down a small plate of sugar and creamers, she nodded at my map.
