CHAPTER TWELVE

“It’s my beach too, nerd,” Zoey said tartly as she stood up and brushed the sand off her shorts and bikini top.

Austin also stood and reached down to help Kelly up from the ground. “You okay?”

“Sure, just a little rattled.” She took his hand and let him pull her to her feet.

“I’m fine, too. Thanks for asking,” Zoey responded as she tried to tidy her tangled hair.

Scott dusted himself off and shook the sand off his backpack. “Oh no!”

“What?” Kelly asked.

“Let me see your cell phones,” Scott said as he took first Kelly’s, then Austin’s and looked at their screens. “Next time we have to put these in baggies or those tough cases . . . the sand etched the plastic. I can hardly see what it says.”

“We can go to the mall tomorrow,” Austin said. “But right now, I’m going home to clean up.”

Zoey was still trying to shake the sand out of her hair and clothes. “Well, you guys are no fun at all. I’m going home and taking a long, hot bubble bath.” With a toss of her long blond hair, she tried to make a graceful exit, but the deep, drifted sand made it difficult to move without looking like a plow horse.

The other three followed her. She stopped so abruptly that they all nearly ran into her.

“Where the heck is my car?” she asked.

“Where the heck is the parking lot?” Austin stood behind her and looked around for his truck.

All the concrete that had made up the sidewalks and boardwalk along the beach was gone. It was all sand, from the beach to the street with only an asphalt path leading to the Fishing Pier. An elderly man wearing a long-sleeved flannel shirt and overalls who was carrying a tackle box and three long fishing poles was just leaving the pier and heading toward the street. Zoey saw him first and stalked over to stand directly in front of him. With her hands on her hips, she practically yelled at him. “Where’s my car?”

“Your car’s missing, lady?” the man asked.

“No . . . I just made it up. Yes, it’s missing. It was right there.” Zoey pointed to the empty sand.

“How long ago was that?”

“Ten minutes . . . max.” Zoey looked at Austin and waved her hands in the air. “They towed my car. Can you believe that?”

“No one towed your car, lady. I’ve been fishing out here all day long, and there were no cars getting towed. What did your car look like?”

“It’s a 2010 Mini, white with pink stripes and a white convertible roof. I want to file a police report.”

“2010? Mini?”

“Are you deaf? Yes, a 2010 Mini Cooper. My parents got it for me for my sixteenth birthday.”

“Have you kids been drinking?”

“No way,” Austin said.

“Holy crap . . . what year is it?” Scott asked.

“You kids need to go home and go to bed.” The old man shook his head and frowned his disapproval. “You’ve all got school tomorrow. You better get out of here before the cops come by and take you in.
