Scott had driven her car into a small lake, and Phoebe had watched it sink. At that moment the finality of her decisions had hit her like a freight train. But she couldn’t turn back now. She had no cell phone, no car, and an unknown perpetrator on her heels. If she didn’t go with Scott now, there was no telling what would happen to her.

Once this whole thing had unraveled, maybe she would be able to publish the story about her adventure and thus save her job. If she came back with something juicy like a chase around the country, Eriksson and Novak would maybe even forgive her for having disappeared without a word. For now, she would take things as they came and hope for the best.

“Ready?”

Phoebe met Scott’s inquiring gaze and hopped onto the motorcycle behind him. He handed her the helmet and she put it on. On the way to the lake, he’d stopped at a biker bar and stolen a second helmet off another motorcycle, and he now slipped the stolen helmet over his head.

“Hold on tight,” he commanded. “Move with me when I go into curves, all right?”

“Okay.”

She slung her arms around his waist. He put his hand over one arm and squeezed. Then he turned the ignition key and pressed the starter button before lifting the kickstand and driving off into the night.

She’d never been on a motorcycle, but she had to admit she liked the feeling of freedom it inspired in her. Though Scott drove fast, he took every curve with skill and confidence and soon she found herself clinging to him not with the death grip she’d employed at the start of the trip, but with a more relaxed hold. He seemed to notice it too, because on occasion he would remove one hand from the handlebar and briefly squeeze her hand as if wanting to thank her for adhering to his instructions.

During the long drive she also became more aware of Scott’s body. Her legs were pressed against his outer thighs, and she could feel his muscles flex underneath his pants. She wasn’t sure how long they’d ridden, but on the horizon the sun was about to come up, and only now did she realize how tired she was. She’d never been much of a night owl.

When Scott slowed after entering Memphis city limits, she tensed automatically. He turned his head halfway and opened his visor.

“I’m trying to find us a place to stay,” he announced.

“Another house for sale?”

“No, I think I have a better idea.” He motioned to a van driving in front of them.

She read the writing on the back. The van was an airport shuttle. “You want to go to an airport?”

He didn’t answer and closed his visor again, while he cruised behind the van. When it turned into a driveway and stopped there, Scott continued driving. He stopped at the next intersection, took a left turn and stopped the motorcycle, but kept the engine running, his feet on the ground.
