Chapter 6

Ben Hansen became an even angrier man when he tried to make travel arrangements to get to Ryder in Conard City, Wyoming. He didn’t like to be stymied when he wanted something, but he grew purely furious when he found out how difficult it was going to be to get there.

Count on Ryder to disappear to a place at the ends of the earth and decide to hang out. Oh, the place had an airport, but given the way airlines had established major hubs and then contracted with puddle-jumper airlines, he would have to go around his butt to get to his elbow.

This was the twenty-first century, he thought, trying not to bash a hand on his computer as he looked at the number of flights and the schedules. It shouldn’t be this hard to get anywhere.

But it was. No matter where he looked, he found that he’d have to take a minimum of three flights, with hours of layovers.

Who the hell would have thought that you had to fly to Minneapolis or Chicago to get to a place in between there and here?

Oh, there were other options, but they just got uglier. If he wanted to skip the flying halfway across the country so he didn’t have to fly back half the distance, his other option, although more direct, meant he’d be stopping and often changing planes in every rube airport in the west.

He ground his teeth and tried to make up his mind. At this point it might make more sense to drive, but he didn’t want to leave that kind of record behind him. Ryder had to die for what he’d done to Brandy, but damn, Ben wasn’t going to leave a DayGlo trail behind.

His head snapped up suddenly as he realized something. Flying or driving his own car was out. Either way he could be traced.

So, he’d rent a car, tell the rental people he was driving to Vegas, and he wouldn’t mention that he was going to take as circuitous a route as any airline.

He began to feel better. Rent the car, get plenty of cash so he wouldn’t leave a trail of credit card slips behind him, detour to this damn Conard City, take care of business and show up maybe a day or so late in Vegas. Who would know? Especially if he dropped off the car there and said he didn’t need it until he was ready to go back to Fresno.

The more he thought about it, the more he liked it. Where that car went, as long as he got one without GPS and he didn’t carry his cell phone, wouldn’t be traceable. Not at all.

And all the world would know was that while Ryder was killed, Ben had been in Vegas.

He’d have to make a hotel reservation. Okay, he’d have to go to Vegas first, check into a hotel for cover, then take a trip to Wyoming. That would work.

The more he thought about it, the more his anger eased.
