Callahan was nowhere in sight when Roxanne led Ruthie and Sandy out of her office.

"He said to tell you he had to go." Sylvia spoke before Roxanne could ask. "Something about a sighting of 'persons of interest', I believe he called them. A good-looking blonde picked him up--probably a colleague of his. But he left his car keys for you."

Roxanne nodded and returned to her office, leaving Ruthie and Sandy to Sylvia's ministrations. It irked her that he jumped into action whenever Tiffany showed up although she knew catching those guys trumped guarding her.

Her call to Callahan went straight to voicemail and she had no better luck with Pete. Then she phoned Kate hoping for some information.

"I don't know," Kate told her. "Tiffany heard from Ron and grabbed Pete to help her find Callahan. Do you think they're about to nab those guys who were watching us last night?"

"It could be anything." Roxanne thumped a pen against her desk in frustration. "No one's answering their cell."

"If I hear from them, I'll be sure to let you know," Kate said. "Right now, I have to run and pick up Jonathon. His bus is due any minute."

"Go." Roxanne clicked off. She stared at her diploma from Tulane hanging on the wall, not really seeing it or anything else in the room. Why the hell didn't one of them think of keeping her in the loop? As she ran her fingers through her hair in disgust, several pink phone message slips caught her eye. At least she could do something.

Contacting her clients consumed the next couple of hours. She answered questions and set up appointments for the next week, confident this mess with Roxy would be settled by then. With her desk finally cleared, her thoughts ran in circles again.

What was happening? Did they catch the Irishmen? Did they locate Roxy? Why hadn't they contacted her? The possibilities overwhelmed her as her gaze drifted to the yellow legal pad with three names written in black ink, underlined several times.

She buzzed Sylvia. "Where's the best place to catch Sean's father?"

"He's seldom in town unless he has some mayoral function. Probably their estate out on 62 is best." The other woman gave her the address.

Roxanne used Google maps to find the location before she grabbed her coat and the SUV keys.

"You gone for the day?" Sylvia asked as she headed for the door.

"Yes, but I'll try to get in tomorrow," Roxanne called over her shoulder. "There's something I need to do right now."

"Are you going to confront Mayor Cummings?"

She paused before answering. Callahan would probably insist she wait for him to accompany her, but she saw little danger in approaching the mayor in broad daylight. "I'm not sure where I'll be," she hedged as she closed the door.
