CHAPTER FIFTEEN

After four days in Nevada Reed decided to give up. He could not do this on his own. Carrie was nowhere to be found.

The problem was – and it was an embarrassing one – he knew next to nothing about her. He didn’t even know her last name.

How the hell was he going to find a woman in the State of Nevada when all he had to go on was a physical description and a first name?

As humiliating as it was he would have to reach out for help. There was no way he could do this alone. Gritting his teeth he reached for the cell phone and dialed his brother’s number.

“Max,” he said when his big brother picked up, “I need your help. I want to put this to bed, this problem I have with Carrie.”

“Where are you now?” Max asked. “Do you want to come to California so we can talk?”

To his credit, Max did not go into a long spiel or pester him with ‘I told you so’s’. He knew Reed was in the United States so he would have had a pretty good idea about the reason for his trip. Max had probably been waiting patiently for his call.

That evening Max flew to San Jose then drove to Max’s house in Palo Alto. When he got there he hung out for a while with Silken, Max’s wife, and then the two men disappeared into the den where they could talk.

“You’ve made up your mind? You want to find this girl?” Max’s face was serious. “You’re ready to face the consequences?”

Reed grimaced. “I wouldn’t say I’m ready but this can’t wait any longer. I have to know how deep I’m in,” he shook his head, “and I need to get this resolved.”

Now it was Max’s turn to shake his head. “The things we do when we’re in college. Crazy, right?”

Reed grunted. “You said it.”

“Anyway, now that you’ve decided to make a move I’ll put my guy on it right away. He’s a top notch P.I.. You’ll just have to feed him all the information you have and we’ll take it from there.”

“Thanks, bro.” Reed sighed then as another thought crossed his mind he lifted his head and stared at Max through narrowed eyes. “Mom and Dad, they don’t know about this, right?”

“Not unless you told them,” Max said. “They got nothing from me.”

Reed nodded. “Good. Since this wasn’t one of my proudest moments let’s keep it that way.”

“No,” Golden sobbed. “No.” She put her fingers to her lips, fighting to keep the sobs from turning into wails. Her worst nightmare had come true. Claire had suffered a massive stroke and it was all her fault.

Golden lowered her head as she sat by the hospital bed holding Claire’s limp hand. She’d gotten the call from the nursing home early that morning. Apparently, Claire had given them her contact information, probably telling them that Golden was her emergency contact person.

Without hesitation she’d dropped everything and gone straight to the hospital.
