Nine

I woke up to see my bedroom in bright sunlight. I glanced over at the clock and saw it was only six-fifteen. I didn’t have to be at the Blue Palms until nine, so I had set the alarm for seven-thirty. I rolled over to go back to sleep but then I started thinking about Max. I tried to shut him out of my mind but then I started thinking about Reno. I was starting to regret not being able to have make-up sex with Reno. The more I thought about it, the more it got me going.

After a half hour of rolling back and forth in bed, I got up and staggered into the bathroom for a long hot shower. While standing there, I had a brief, but passionate, affair with the shower massager. Finally, I got out and toweled my hair dry. I put on a pot of coffee and got ready for the day.

For some reason, I didn’t want to dress too casually for the FBI. I found a knee length navy blue skirt and a V-neck cream knit top. I thought heels would go best with the outfit, but decided on a pair of flat sandals instead.

I grabbed my cooler and put half a dozen cold water bottles in it. I then fed Marlowe and I was out the door.

The drive up to the Blue Palms was beautiful. There is something about driving on Scottsdale Road that makes you appreciate what a great place Arizona is to live. I called up Sophie at work.

“Hey Sophie. I met with Elizabeth last night and she’s going to work with us.”

“That’s good. Did you have make-up sex with Reno?”

“Well, not really. I needed to meet with Elizabeth.”

“Didn’t we talk about this? Elizabeth could have waited. You could have met with her today or even tomorrow.”

“Reno got make-up sex. Does that count?”

“Really? Did you do a parking lot thing on him again? You’re such a bad girl. But still, passing up on make-up sex was a bad move.”

I sighed. Sophie was right. The thought of missing out on make-up sex was starting to dominate my thoughts again. I could tell that the shower massage thing wasn’t going to last more than a day or so.

“I’m meeting with the FBI at the Blue Palms in a few minutes. I need to see if I can pump some information out of them.”

“Good luck with that. They never seem like the friendly sorts.”

“We’ll also need to have Lenny write up an agreement for Elizabeth splitting the treasure and real estate fifty-fifty with her brother. She’s worried that Les is somehow going to screw her out of the jewelry, assuming we can find it.”

“No problem, I have something standard already on file. I’ll get it printed up.”

“Let’s make sure it’s solid. The more I know about our client the more questions I have. Let’s make sure there isn’t any wiggle room for him to get out of it.”

As we were talking, I got a text from the 202 area-code number that I now knew belonged to Special Agent McCoy.
