CHAPTER 9

Veronica met me in front of Big Bucks Camper and RV.

“I can think of better places to shop,” she said, when she saw me.

“Thanks for meeting me here. I need your help with something, and I can’t involve my circle of friends. Not yet.”

I filled her in on the details.

“What’s your plan?” she asked, when I finished.

“Sasha said Nikki works in the boating department. We go in, find her, and confront her.”

“With threats?”

“Whatever it takes.”

“Honey, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but you’re going about it all wrong. We don’t want to threaten the girl, we want to scare her.”

Veronica suggested an even better plan, and we headed inside.

Finding Nikki was easy. Her shrill, deafening voice rang through the store like brakes being slammed on a train. Her highlighted, blond hair was trimmed into an A-line bob. Dressed in what resembled a pleated white tennis skirt and a coral, button-up blouse tied in the front so it showed off her naval ring, she appeared to be half Damon’s age and demonstrated about an eighth of his IQ. She stood next to a ski boat, attempting to show off its best assets to an older gentleman next to her who continuously rolled his eyes while looking around for anyone else with a pulse. When a male employee strolled by, the man said, “Can I get some real help? I don’t have all day.”

A deflated Nikki skulked away, until she spied us nearby and regained new vigor. “Hi!” she said, making a beeline in our direction. “Can I help you?”

“I don’t know,” Veronica said. “I’m planning a getaway for some of my girlfriends and we thought renting a boat for the weekend would be nice. Do you rent boats here?”

“We do!”

The idea of an easy commission almost made her foam at the mouth.

“What would you recommend?” Veronica asked.

Nikki showed us five different models in under five minutes, giving us the bare minimum in terms of details. When her rushed presentation was over, she cleared her throat and confidently asked which one Veronica wanted today.

“Oh, I don’t know,” Veronica said. “I’ll have to think it over.”

“I can’t guarantee the one you want will be here when you come back. If I were you, I’d leave a deposit.”

“True, you’re probably right.” Veronica dug inside her purse with so much tenacity and vigor, even I was convinced, and I knew exactly what she was doing. “Damn!”

“What is it?” Nikki asked.

“My wallet. I think I must have left it at home. I can’t believe it.”

“I can leave a deposit,” I chimed in, right on cue.

“Oh, would you?” Veronica said. “I’ll pay you back.”

I reached in my bag, wishing the next part could be captured on camera. With the slightest of movements, I unsnapped my wallet, allowing it to fall open. A business card tipped out, fluttering to the floor.

“Oops. You lost something,” Nikki said. “I’ll get it.”

As she dove for the card, Veronica glanced at me and smiled. She was right. Her way was better.

Nikki snatched the card from the ground, scanning it as she adjusted back into a standing position.
