The sun is rising just as I cross Lake Pontchartrain and enter New Orleans. I'd wanted to rush more, but in trading e-mails with Katrina, who stayed up all night monitoring communications, we decided that I'd do best to meet with Margaret just after dawn. I was able to grab three hours sleep at a truck stop in Mississippi, helping me a lot.

The hardest part about deciding where to meet Margaret was choosing a place she could blend in. With her surgical addictions, Margaret's had just about everything done, from Botox to tummy tucks. Her hair is bleached blonde to try and look younger and to blend in with the image of the DeLaCoeurs, her vanity contacts completing the look.

All of this work means I couldn't send her to my normal safe houses where she would stick out.

Which is why I decided to meet her where we are, at a hotel just outside the airport in the area of the city known as Camp Leroy Johnson because it used to be an Army airfield back during World War II. Close to two universities and the airport as well as the interstate, it gets lots of unique traffic on a regular basis, and I can keep anyone tailing her guessing as to where the fuck she might be going.

I still don't know which of my two long-term safe houses I might stick her in, though. If she's off the sauce, I can take her to a little one bedroom house that I have north of the lake in Picayune, far enough from New Orleans that she might be able to blend in somewhat.

If she's still half-drunk most of the time like she was at the DeLaCoeur home, then I can take her to another place I know to the south, a trailer park in Houma. It's nowhere near as nice, but that's the appeal. Margaret can drink her sorrows away, and most of her neighbors won't notice.

“So which do you think?” I ask Katrina, who's using the VOIP system to allow us to talk. Thankfully Carson's truck comes with a charging dock for my phone, I'd forgotten to put one in my bag. “North or south?”

“Don't forget option C,” Katrina says, remarkably awake for six in the morning. “Take her and dump her in a random spot.”

“What do you mean?” I ask. “I mean, I get the idea, but I don't have the finances for that.”

Katrina laughs, and I realize I once again underestimated the adept computer whiz. “If push comes to shove, I can get you funds to set Margaret up for a while. You know the sorts of places you can get her into very quickly, let's face it.”

“Of course,” I reply, sipping the Jolt Cola I bought at the same truck stop I'd slept at, the same place I'd also gassed up the truck. “Give me a couple hours and I can get her into a place.”

In my head, I already know the type of location Katrina's
