Chapter Thirty-Six

The ideal place to leave the SUV and the truck would have been the shopping center. Most places like it have a pretty constant flow of traffic, nobody thinking too much about a couple of cars left sitting overnight. Very rarely did such places resort to towing, and only a fool or someone extremely desperate would ever think to try and steal a car from one.

The irony of what we were doing was not lost on me, though I freely conceded we were in the latter category.

The downside for us in doing so was that we needed to switch license plates and we needed to shift our gear into the new ride.

Both would be near impossible tasks to do at the shopping center, each just asking for some random passerby to spot us and start asking questions. Also out was doing what we needed to and bringing the cars back, as once we got the stolen vehicle away, there was no scenario in which we were returning it.

Again, the chances of the owner spotting us were remote, but anything above zero was too much to even consider risking.

As Skye departed I had considered calling out, trying in some way to stop her, before deciding that it was foolish. As it stood, it appeared that I was just dropping her off by her car, a friend bringing her back to her ride and going on my way.

If I resisted, or even called out, it would only draw attention.

Letting her depart, I paused just a moment before goosing the truck forward and calling Rae, her picking up on the first ring, just as I saw her pass by the end of the row I was on.

“Yeah.”

“Fall back,” I said. “She’s got it.”

There was a moment of silence, the closest Rae would get to voicing any displeasure to me.

Not that she had to. I felt the same exact way.

Once her point was made, she asked, “Where?”

“Your call.”

I clicked off the line without further comment. There was no need to second guess what she came up with, no point in telling her to avoid the mall, to be somewhere we could make the necessary transfers without being bothered.

Nudging the gas once more, I fell in a few cars back from Rae as she exited in the same direction we had come from. In just a span of ten minutes the afternoon traffic had gotten even heavier, the clock pushing just past 5:00, the worst or best time for us to be out in traffic, depending on how one looked at it.

The worst, in that it was extra heavy, would make movement slow, keeping a visual on each other difficult.

The best for that very same reason, making it tough for anybody to stay on us once we ditched the cars and they didn’t have an exact location on us any longer.

It took almost fifteen minutes for us to make our way back to the freeway, falling in with the flow of traffic using the same northern route we’d been on shortly before.
