“You look different this morning, Blake.” Remy cocked her head and studied him. I followed suit. She was right. His hair was more styled, he'd wound a scarf around his neck and his T-shirt was tucked in.

“Thanks. I'm trying something different. You like?” He gave a little twirl and my eyebrows shot up into my hairline. Had he turned gay overnight? Remy laughed, then quickly sobered when he shot her a cold as steel frown.

“You look great,” she assured him. “You even shaved.”

He ran his hands over his smooth cheeks. “Wanna feel?” he asked her, but she shook her head.

“Nope. I'm good thanks.”

Clearing my throat, I drew everyone's attention. “Are we all ready? Gran? Are you sure you won't come? I don't like leaving you here by yourself.”

We'd survived the night in Remy's cabin, alive and intact. Andi and Kaylee were accounted for, so I allowed myself to relax, just a notch. The killer hadn't progressed to the second stage of their evil plan, which meant I was one step closer to finding Mom and Dad. Today’s plan was to search the caves.

“I'll be fine, love.” Gran was already dressed in her bikini, a large red brimmed hat shielding her face. “And I've got Archie and Bandit to keep me safe. I intend to spend the morning by the waterhole—less chance of anyone trying anything nefarious out in the open like that.”

“Wear your charm,” I warned her, my fingers going to my charm tied around my wrist.

“Already am.” She wriggled her foot, drawing my attention to the woven cord encircling her ankle. “Don't worry about me, you focus on finding Judith and Keith.”

“Morning folks!” Nigel appeared, the heavy scent of tobacco clinging to him. “How many do we have today?”

“Just us,” I said. “Gran won't be joining us.”

“Okey dokey. So, you can ride with me or bring your own vehicle, the choice is yours. However, if you ride with me, be warned I can only stay a couple of hours. This is meant to be my day off and I've got errands to run today.”

“You're working on your day off?” Jenna asked.

Nigel shrugged. “To make up for the mix-up yesterday. It's all good, don't worry about it.”

“We'll take my vehicle,” Remy interrupted. “That way we can stay as long as we want without disrupting your plans.”

“Load up and follow me.” Nigel was chirpy this morning, and my eyes met Jenna's as we headed toward Remy's Land Rover. Nigel struck me as the quieter type, broody, maybe tired and fed up with dealing with tourists and counting down the days until retirement. Of course, that was just my impression, I had no idea if I was right or not.

The track to the caves was rough, windy, but so worth it. We eventually cleared the rock-hewn dried-out creek beds to find ourselves in a clearing that Mother Nature had created. Instead of dirt, the clearing was one massive slab of rock. Nigel’s four wheel drive was parked on the opposite side and Remy pulled up next to him, killing the engine.
