Chapter Fourteen

Kitty tipped her head forward so a sheet of hair fell across her face. Through the strands, she took stock of her uncle unnoticed. Kevin pulled out onto the main street in front of school. He drove with the hand closest to her; the other arm rested on the door at the base of the window. The fingers of his hand stretched down and spun the little knob of the window crank ceaselessly. Two-thirds of a turn forward, two-thirds back. Kitty swung her eyes forward. Four cars ahead she saw Joe’s Escort heading up Main Street toward Danby’s Grill. If the situation headed south and she jumped out the door, Kevin wouldn’t be able to make a grab for her, and maybe Joe would check his rearview mirror and see her tumble out onto the pavement.

Or not. Between Jenna and Sam, Joe probably had his hands full getting up the hill without crashing.

Kitty eyed the gray blur speeding past the window. Jumping out at even twenty miles an hour would give her a heck of a road rash and possibly a broken arm or two. Maybe it’d be best if she sat tight long enough to see where this train wreck was going.

Main Street curved left and Joe followed the road toward the restaurant. Kitty wrinkled her nose as Kevin took a shallow right into a dead end. If a town as small as Oakmont could be said to have a wrong side of the tracks, this was it. It was also correspondingly small—a chunk of street about fifty feet long. Kitty rarely came here, not because it was so horrible, but because it offered absolutely nothing to her.

Kevin broke the silence first. “Kathleen, relax. Your twitchiness is making me itch.”

Kitty laughed, short and hard. “I’m making you nervous?”

“I didn’t plan on meeting you today.” Kevin shrugged. “I can only handle so many long-lost relatives at one time.” He cut the car toward the curb and pulled up in front of a little diner.

Kitty stared up at the dusty picture window that fronted the restaurant. Next door the pawn shop advertised a fall sale of twenty percent off guns. The writing had faded over the winter. Someone should let the owner know it was April.

“Is this okay?”

Kitty jumped a little at the sound of his voice.

“They have pretty good coffee and really good grilled cheese. I think the fact they never clean the grill gives it a little added….”

“Charcoal?” Kitty asked drily.

“I was going to say grease,” Kevin replied. “Why don’t you come on in, and we’ll have a chat?”

“You sound a lot better.”

Kevin raised his eyebrows.

She mimicked a cough. “On the phone? I thought you had TB.”

“Ahh. Spring cold, you know.” Kevin thumped a fist on his chest. “I’ve got the constitution of a horse.”

Or some other large animal. Kitty bit her lip. “I don’t think this is a very good idea.”

Her uncle tilted his head in thought then smirked. “Did you ever think about that before you climbed into my car? Your parents would be very unhappy with you if they knew.
