Chapter Twenty-One

Nate wished he’d been kidding when he talked about how much work it would be to get back into Dark Falls unnoticed. He’d almost told Grace it would “take some serious maneuvering to keep them safe,” but that would have made it sound like he could do that. He couldn’t.

Slater X and his men had already proved they were more than willing to kill, and he and Grace had to be the most obvious targets. To get to Kevin, they would have to do so not only unseen, but not alerting anyone that they had contacted Kevin. This meant Kevin couldn’t do anything unusual, couldn’t exhibit any changes in behavior. That was a lot riding on Jimmy’s boyfriend—a man Nate had met only once and didn’t have any real experience with.

Nate and Grace first went and bought another burner phone. Then another, and another. They had to go back through Denver to get to Dark Falls, so it was going to be an all day event just to get there. Nate also insisted on buying the phones in several different places. Stores usually sold batches because most people didn’t give a crap if their phone could trace back to the location and time it was sold. But if Slater and his people had the tech—and Nate wasn’t willing to bet Grace’s life that they didn’t—then finding one phone would mean they could ping the batch. When another phone from the same batch sold in Fort Collins triangulated in Dark Falls, they’d be found. He didn’t like that idea.

So he made them buy each spare burner phone in a different location. They bought other clothing; each of them buying a spare jacket. He went into a tech store and picked up three car tracers. It was only there that he flashed his DFPD badge, having decided that he trusted the man behind the counter was not in league with Slater X and crew. It was a risk, but he had to take it. A man coming in and asking after three car tracers with trackers—not cell phone apps—was suspicious in and of itself. He would rather the clerk know not to talk about it than not know and say something about his weird purchase. In the end, Nate had no idea if it worked or not, he probably never would.

They didn’t get close to Dark Falls until well past midnight, and even then, he stopped two small towns out. Chances were very high someone had searched for him here already. Whether they’d asked the front desk in the motels if he and Grace had been by, or they’d been warning people to call in if they were spotted, the results were the same: no motels. They just weren’t safe.

Grace had been unprepared for his proclamation. She hadn’t realized why he’d spent their dwindling money on a tent and survival blankets. He was hoping to get in touch with Zaragosa or Masuka for another infusion of cash, but he knew it had to be hurting those guys.
