Chapter Twenty-Three
âTheyâre looking for you. Kim, are you listening?â
Milesâ scooter engine had come up short as he tried to pass a double trailer big rig on the boulevard. He had a large sedan behind him, honking its horn. And the truck next to him had sped up. Miles couldnât squeeze the accelerator any harder. Finally he waved an apology and let the truck overtake him, but was then almost run into the opposite lane as the sedan passed on his right. The driver signaled her displeasure with a single upturned finger.
âKim, can you hear me?â Santabutra asked. âAre you there?â
âYeah. Morning traffic.â
âWhere are you?â
âTrying to survive on Seraphâs fine roads. Whoâs looking for me?â
âThe trauma center has footage of you taking their patient away. So safe to say, both militias want you to find out who she is. Thatâs the official line. But Sheriff Vaca seems to have put two and two together, and sheâs putting the screws to me to share what I know.â
âYou know nothing. Tell her that.â
âThanks a lot. Tell me why Iâm putting my pension on the line for you.â
âBecause of my winning smile.â
âYouâre harboring a key witness to an investigation. Theyâve got you assaulting a security guard. And they know I provided access to the trauma center to you. If your friend was there last night and you have her with you, that puts you in company with the most wanted person in Seraph. So cut the arrogant tone.â
He made a turn and found an open lane. âNeither of us wants to see Lucien Khar hurt. This is my best way forward. I canât share more than that, because right now I donât even know if what Iâm doing will help. But I know the sheriff isnât going to get this done. And after what I learned, thereâs more to this than we understand.â
âNot new news. I canât help you anymore.â
âIs that why youâre calling?â
She hesitated before answering. âI called to tell you one last time to be careful.â
