Chapter Eleven

“What’s your plan for this week?” asked Luke.

“What do you mean?”

“Well, last week Maria’s car was supposedly broken down, so you gave her a ride to work and back. I’m assuming her car is miraculously fixed today and she’s driving herself while we’re here.”

Zack nodded. “Yeah. I’m just going to have to wave her off in the morning and wait for her to get home. I liked driving her. It gave me an excuse to be outside her house twice a day. Now, I’ll just have to be more careful.”

“I understand a whole lot better now that you’ve explained it to me. I even understand why you didn’t want to tell me. The fewer people who know the better, right? The less risk there is of someone inadvertently giving you away.”

“Yup.” They were sitting at the general aviation building at the airport in Nashville, waiting for Autumn who had some last-minute emergency and was running late.

Luke shook his head. “I can see why you’d want to turn the tables and hunt him down. Put an end to it on your terms before he finds you.”

“Thanks. I’m hoping my dad will see it that way, too. In the beginning we had faith that they’d find him and put him behind bars, but since they haven’t been able to …” He shrugged. “It’s time for me to be able to get on with my life without constantly looking over my shoulder.”

“If there’s anything I can do to help … you know I’m in.”

“Thanks, bro. I don’t know what I can do myself yet, but if something comes up, it’s good to know I’ve got you in my corner.”

Luke smiled. “Always.”

Zack’s phone rang and he pulled it out of his pocket. “I need to take this. It’s my dad. I’m going to take a walk around the parking lot. Come find me if Autumn shows up?”

“Sure thing.”

Zack swiped to answer as he headed for the door. “Hey, Papá. What’s up?”

“The FBI have a lead on him.”

“They do? Where?”

“He was seen in Sacramento last week. It makes me nervous, Zack. That’s too close. I think it’s time for you to move on.”

“No. I’m not moving on. I’m staying put this time.”

The line was quiet for a long time. “The girl?”

“Yes. I did my best, but just a couple of weeks ago, I caved. We’re together.”

“You really want to put her in danger?”

“You know I don’t. But I want to be with her. I was going to call you. I’m not going to run anymore, and I’m not going to hide. I couldn’t hide my heart like you told me to.”

He could hear the smile in his dad’s voice. “I’m surprised you lasted as long as you did. When I told you that, I thought you’d find that either you couldn’t do it or you’d lose interest.”

“I did it for as long as I could, but I never lost interest. I’m being careful; we’re hiding our relationship, but that can’t last. I can’t just wait for him to find me.
