She was getting into her car when she saw Hank coming out of the motel office with a piece of paper in his hand. She drove past him without slowing down, just waved and left him, hand raised in the air, the paper fluttering in the breeze.

She stopped at the 7-Eleven for a Coke and her usual package of Ding Dongs. She’d treat herself to dinner tonight, but not at the Wendy’s drive-through…. She never wanted to see Tommy Bainbridge or anyone in his family ever again.

Chapter 16

“She told me to tell you she’d checked out.”

Tommy paced the hallway of the Galaxies business office. “But did she?”

“’Course she didn’t. I don’t know what you did to that girl, but she’s mad as hops at you.”

What had he done? Just made love to her and left her without a word. But between Sanchez and the phone call telling him they needed him ASAP, he’d gone a little nuts. He didn’t blame her for being upset. But if she’d just answer his calls, he’d explain. If she even cared. She might just be mad because she hadn’t scooped the story. Maybe he was just an egotistical, hopeful bastard.

“And she’s asking all sorts of questions about little league of all things.”

“Little league?”

“Yeah. Who plays. Who voted for the field. Where the other kids play.”

Hope blossomed. “That’s great. Tell her everything you know. And tell her to call me.”

“I think you’re both nuts. But I’ll tell her. Again.”

Tommy hung up. J.T. was investigating. He was sure of it. He needed to go home.
