She shook her head, happiness making her steps lighter. “Here, let me see who it is.” She didn’t know who’d be calling her since she didn’t have any appointments at her salon, having called and cancelled them once Tiana had gone missing. She had a manager who ran the salon when she wasn’t there, and the other stylists took care of their own booths, so it really was an easy business to run.

Seeing her salon manager’s number on the screen, she frowned. Instead of listening to the voicemail, she hit redial.

“Jesus, Ayesha, why didn’t you answer the phone. Oh never mind, it’s not like it would’ve saved anything. The salon is gone.” Carly Jo’s words made Ayesha freeze in place.

“Carly Jo, what do you mean? What’s gone?” A shop didn’t just disappear. For crying out loud, this wasn’t the Twilight Zone.

King snapped his fingers and held out his hand. “Put her on speakerphone.”

Her hand shook as she tried to do as he’d said, her fingers fumbled as she tried.

“Here, let me.” King took the phone, stabbing the appropriate button, giving her the phone back once he made sure it was picked up. “Hi, Carly, can you explain what’s happened?” he asked.

“I went to the salon to open like I do every day. When I arrived there was a vehicle pulling out from behind the shops, which is odd since Twisted Ink and High Maintenance employees are the only ones who usually park back there. I was just easing into a space when there was a huge boom. I mean, it was so loud it shook my car. Ayesha, if I’d been there just minutes earlier—” She stopped talking, her sob filling the air.

Ayesha looked at Tiana and King. “I’ll be there in a couple hours. Are the cops and firemen still there?”

Carly Jo sniffed. The sound of a man speaking in the background could be heard. “Yes, they’re all here. They think there was some kind of chemical explosion or something we did to cause it. Ayesha, I swear I didn’t leave anything on that would do that. None of the stylists did either. I checked before leaving last night.”

She met King’s knowing look, biting her lip. “Of course you didn’t. Listen, I’m just glad nobody was hurt. Please give whoever is in charge my number and let them know I’ll be there as soon as I can. I’m a couple hours away.” She didn’t say where she was since King had shook his head when she’d mentioned time earlier.

“I called the other stylists to let them know. You’ll have to handle the insurance and stuff. I’m really sorry, Ayesha. I know this is a really bad time for you.” Carly Jo coughed as if something caught in her throat. “Listen I need to go. All this smoke is making me sick. Call me when you get close.”

Her eyes burned from the tears she held back. No way was it an accident, or the fault of one of her stylists. She knew without a shadow of a doubt, somehow, Rico had blown her salon up.
