Jana watched as Vi flipped through the pages of the towing company’s schedule book.

“There’s an appointment from the night the cars disappeared for B. Posey,” Vi said. “Something about that name sounds familiar. But I don’t know anyone named Posey in town.”

“There was the Posey who married one of the original aliens,” Jana suggested.

“I don’t really see her being wrapped up in this,” Vi said, shaking her head. “Besides, Posey is her first name.”

“True,” Jana said.

“What’s the B for?” Vi wondered aloud. “Barbara, Bobby… Beauregard?”

“Beats me,” Jana admitted.

“I just need to meditate for a little while,” Vi said. “I’m going to play some DancyPants 3, and try to think.”

Jana winced. Whenever Vi used the dancing video game of her own invention to concentrate, it was hard for anyone in earshot to concentrate on anything else.

“Don’t worry,” Vi said. “I have a mission for you and Fletcher. Can you return a sound board to Bobby Meyer for me?”

“Isn’t that one of the skateboard kids?” Jana asked suspiciously.

“Yeah, probably,” Vi said. “He’s got some garage band going, and he asked me to take a look at their soundboard. It just needed a little tuning up.”

Vi pointed at a control panel-looking item in the corner of her room.

“Sure,” Jana said. “Where does he live?”

“Over on the two hundred block of Elm,” Vi said. “Green house, small front porch with a swing. By this time of day you’ll be able to hear them practicing from the next street over. You won’t be able to miss it.”

“Okay,” Jana said, grabbing the board. It was heavy but not awkward. “Good luck with the…”

But Vi was already wearing her headphones and attaching the sensors to her legs.

Jana shook her head and carried the sound board out of the room to find Fletcher.

Ten minutes later, they were driving down the two hundred block of Elm with the windows down.

It was a gorgeous day and just being close to Fletcher was intoxicating.

Jana tried not to overthink it, and just let herself enjoy the moment.

“There’s a green house,” Fletcher said.

There was no music, but Jana figured maybe the band wasn’t practicing today after all. Vi didn’t know everything.

They parked and knocked on the door.

A lady with a pretty purple head scarf answered. “Can I help you?” she asked.

“Hi there, Violet Locke sent us over with a sound board for Bobby,” Jana said. “Does he live here?”

“Oh yes,” the woman replied, eyeing Fletcher in that way that almost every woman did. Jana didn’t blame her. “I’m his mom. I’m so sorry, dear, but he’s not home right now.”

“Vi thought he would be having practice now,” Jana explained. “We can bring it in and set it up wherever he normally practices, if you want.”

“Oh, hadn’t you heard?” the lady asked. “The boys won that contest for the new practice space.”

“They did?” Jana asked. That was an oddly specific contest.

“Oh yes,” the lady replied. “The mayor came by with the keys and the prettiest little plaque. The boys were so excited.”

“Where is the space?” Jana asked.
