When we’d safely returned to the Buick, I insisted on driving back to the Inn. I got behind the wheel and started the engine

“Well at least now we know Jason is involved.” I pulled out into the street heading back to Ivorydale. “Maybe Jason ordered the hit, who knows? Or perhaps Jason ordered the hit on someone’s behalf.”

Carter only nodded. His tight expression told me he was still in severe pain.

“Should I drive you to the hospital?”

“No, I’ll be fine. Do you have some aspirin back in our room?”

“I keep some in my purse.”

Carter found the bottle and shook three out into his hand. He popped them in his mouth and swallowed them dry.

My hands were shaking on the steering wheel as I turned onto the highway. It would be faster than taking the back roads. “You might have a concussion, you know. Maybe a quick visit to the emergency room …”

“I’ve had worse head wounds, Sarah. This is nothing.”

“Fine. But if you start to feel nauseous, I’m taking you to the ER whether you like it or not.”

By the time we got back to the Inn, Carter wasn’t squinting so I had to assume he was feeling better. As we walked through the lobby heading for the stairs, Mary Garcia called out to us.

“Mr. and Mrs. Carter. How was your evening?”

Her voice startled me. I turned toward her with a smile that hopefully gave her the impression that we were too tired to stop and chat. “Wonderful, thank you.”

“A beautiful night, isn’t it? So pleased things have cooled off. The weather tomorrow is supposed to be in the seventies.”

“Sounds lovely.” I kept on walking with Carter but she didn’t seem to get the hint.

“I hope you will join us in the dining room tomorrow morning for a complimentary breakfast from eight to nine. It’s a meet and greet that we host twice a week.”

“Great. We’ll be there,” I said with a wave. “Good night and thank you.”

“Oh dear,” Mary said, giving Carter a look of concern. “What did you do to your face?”

“Must have had too much to drink,” Carter said. “I tripped on the sidewalk.”

“Do you need medical attention?” she asked.

“No, but thank you.”
