Cade stood in the parking lot as he dialed Erick. As soon as Erick answered the phone, Cade said, “The waitress here saw our guy yesterday morning.”

“What waitress? What guy? And where are you?” Erick asked patiently.

Cade grinned. “Some things never change.”

“Nope, they sure don’t. You want to slow down and give me the information bit by bit so somebody like me can process it?” he joked.

“I’m at a coffee shop with Faith.” He looked around to see Faith standing outside her car on the phone too. He grinned at her, and she smiled. “I pulled out the photo at Faith’s request for her to take another look, and the waitress recognized him. Apparently he threw a fit about the food and then shot her his finger her when she stood in the window watching him as he disappeared in the Lexus convertible.”

“So Faith had that much right. And that was yesterday?”

“Yes, yesterday morning.”

“So, he’s probably still in town.”

“That’s the thought I had. That would be at least ten days apart from when Faith saw him.”

“Interesting,” Erick said quietly. “We’re still coworking all the accidents. But to have this many accidents … There are eight, by the way. That we know of among us, short of hearing anything from Geir. All but Laszlo’s father ended up in death.”

“Eight family members who may have been attacked to get back the seven of us? Not Geir right? He had no one close he said.”

“Yes.”

“But Talon said he had nobody close too.”

“His best friend from school was walking along in a parking lot and was downed by a hit-and-run driver.”

“Another vehicular accident,” Cade said softly. “Son of a bitch.”

“Yeah, that’s what we’ve come to figure. All the accidents were vehicular.”

“Shit.” Cade stared at the parking lot. “Chances are he won’t use the Lexus to hit people with.”

“No, not likely. We’re tracking down names and looking for other rental vehicles. I did speak to Laszlo. He was on the phone to Norway this morning making arrangements for his father. They have a record of our hired gunman arriving and staying for two nights, then leaving again.”

“That makes sense. And we do have a name now.”

“Sure, but the name goes nowhere.”

“Oh, the waitress did say she remembered two numbers on the license plate.”

“Okay. I got that. I’ll add that to what Faith remembered, see if we can run that down.” His voice took on a distant edge, as if concentrating while he typed on his laptop.

“How’s Badger?” Cade asked abruptly.

“Out of surgery. Still not awake yet.” Erick’s tone dropped. “And Faith’s friend was in a car accident too, right?”

“Elizabeth Brown, yes, and no improvement on her either.”

“No connection to our case?”

“Not that I can see.”

“Good, we’ve got enough complications as it is.”

“All these accidents mean we’ll have a hell of a time tracking down anything on them.”

“I know. And, in all cases, there’s no suspect. And that’s even more concerning since someone has systematically run down everybody in our lives who matters.”

“I don’t know about you,” Cade said abruptly, “but I can’t imagine anybody doing that.
