Chapter 17

Obrasey and the FBI agents arrived at the Crescent Point Bar just after nine. Karen was nowhere to be seen. Obrasey led the way through the bar; the FBI agents drew interested glances. She nodded and smiled to a few people she passed, but she didn’t say anything.

They came to the bar and asked one of the other bartenders, Carmen, about Karen.

“She wasn’t working tonight. She has a date with some dude, I think.”

“Where?” asked Obrasey.

“George’s Steakhouse, I think.”

Another voice said, “Why are you looking for her?”

Obrasey turned to the woman, a small blonde. “We need to talk to her.”

The blonde said, "I’ve been texting with her all night, and I can tell you exactly where she is if you promise that you aren’t arresting her for something.”

“We aren’t arresting her. We’re looking for a guy we think she was on a date with. Jake Lavelle.”

“Yeah, that’s the guy. He never showed. Never even bothered to give her the decency of canceling. Just bailed.”

Emerson cursed behind her.

Obrasey looked over her shoulder then back to Carmen. “Where is she now?”

“At her house. I can give you the address. You’re not arresting her?”

“We just need to ask her a few questions.”

Carmen bit her bottom lip then nodded. She gave them the address before saying she would text Karen to let her know they were coming. Obrasey saw no potential issues unless Karen was involved but said nothing before leaving the bar.
