Tereza and Courtney sat on the small deck outside the storage building after they finished their shift. Courtney had tried to escape unnoticed, but Tereza had nailed her with a wait-a-minute glare.

“Now, why don’t you tell me what’s going on.” Tereza swayed slowly back and forth on the rocker.

“Nothing’s going on.”

“Don’t ever play poker. You’ll lose.” Tereza shot her a wry grin.

“I… I just need to not be found for a while.”

“You in trouble with the law?”

“Not exactly. I don’t think so.” She sighed. “Well, maybe. To be honest, I didn’t stay around long enough to find out.”

Tereza frowned. “Tally doesn’t need any trouble.”

“Oh, I know. She’s been so kind. Bobby and I should probably just leave.”

“Now, I didn’t say that.” Tereza leaned forward. “You didn’t kill someone, or rob somebody, or some felony like that, right?”

Courtney gave her new friend a weak smile. “No, nothing like that.” Though, kidnapping was probably a felony…

“You going to tell me what’s going on?”

Courtney shoved her hair behind her ear. “I… all I feel comfortable saying is that there is someone who… who I don’t want to find me.”

“Or find Bobby?” Tereza raised an eyebrow.

“Or find Bobby.” Her pulse raced. Especially find Bobby.

Tereza reached over and squeezed her hand. “Okay, then. If you don’t want to be found, we’ll make sure you aren’t found. I’m sure you have a good reason.”

Courtney didn’t know if she felt better or worse for telling Tereza that tiny bit of truth.
