CHAPTER EIGHT

The alarm clock blared out its irritating beep, and I fought the urge to toss it against the wall and pull the blanket up over my head. Without opening my eyes, I reached over and slapped at it but cracked one eye open when my hand came into contact with a piece of paper instead of my bedside clock.

I pulled the purple Post-It note from the clock then shut off the alarm.

Mickey hopped off the bed and moseyed into the other room while I rubbed the sleep from my eyes until my vision cleared then read the note.

Sorry you had to wake up alone. I got a call and had to go in to check some things out. Be careful with whatever you're up to today. I'll call you later. —Tyler

I flopped back down onto my pillow and laid the note beside me. As much as I knew I needed to get up and get to work, I didn't want to. I was beginning to wonder if I would ever get anywhere with this investigation. I forced myself to roll out of bed and trudged to the bathroom. Once finished, I pulled a purple T-shirt and a pair of faded jeans out of the closet and slid them on, followed by a pair of matching purple Converse tennis shoes.

I fed and watered Mickey then scratched him behind the ears. While Mickey got his grub on, I popped a piece of gum into my mouth and fired off a quick text to Tyler to let him know I'd found his note then one to Silas to let him know I was on my way to pick him up.

I set the alarm, locked the door behind me, and jogged down the porch steps.

The morning sun was already bright, and the air was warm. It was shaping up to be a hot day, but I was used to it.

"I see your man friend didn't stick around long. Hmm."

I looked across the street and saw Mr. Kasmire glaring at me with a sort of mean smirk on his face. Buster, ever loyal and consistent, turned his back to me and proceeded to squat and do his business.

I wasn't normally one to poke the bear, so to speak, when it came to Mr. Kasmire, but I was feeling a bit agitated with his attitude this morning, and his smirk was ticking me off more than usual.

"No, I only needed him for a few hours." I shrugged and tossed him a cheeky grin then hopped into my car while he gaped at me.

I pulled out of the driveway and hightailed it toward Silas's place.

As much as I wanted to talk to Dickie alone, I knew that Silas would track me down if I didn't swing by his place and pick him up. He was almost as protective as Tyler, and one of the last things I wanted was for Silas to tattle to Tyler that I ran off to talk to a former (maybe) mobster about finding guns and drugs, and I had no doubt that he would.
