Her cell rang, and she grabbed it. Jack. Her heart jumped and moisture bloomed on her palms. What was she? Sixteen? She blew out a breath to steady her reaction. Terra hoped he didn’t have more bad news.
“What’s up?” she answered.
“You want to go with me to Bar Wars?”
She couldn’t help the smile that erupted. “Have you lost your mind?”
“It’s a stakeout. I got a lead. We’re going to watch the bar and see who stops in.”
“Tonight? You want me to meet you tonight?”
“No. I want you to open your door. I’m outside. If you want to go, you can ride with me. Come on, Terra, it will help get your mind off what happened. And we need a break in this.”
“Where’d you get the lead?”
“Boba Fett.”
“Excuse me?” Terra almost barked a laugh.
“Bartender named Boba Fett said he spotted a guy who looked a lot like the pilot who disappeared from the hospital.”
FORTY-EIGHT
Jack steered around the corner a little too fast.
Terra reached for the handgrip above the passenger window. “If you were worried about missing this guy, maybe you should have just called me to meet you there.”
“The truth is that I didn’t decide to invite you along until after what happened tonight. I thought you could use the distraction.”
“You didn’t think I’d want to be part of it?”
“I figured you were with your friends, and I didn’t want to interrupt.”
“But you ended up interrupting anyway.”
“Did I? Looked like they were gone to me. Oh, you mean the dinner. I thought you would want to know about the memorial. Terra, I hated tracking you down. I just didn’t know how to tell you. I—”
Terra touched his arm, sending a warm current through him. “You handled it the right way, Jack. And thank you for inviting me along tonight as well. But can I ask you, from now on, to please not make decisions for me? If a lead turns up that is important to my investigation as well, then please inform me. Let me make the decision whether I will be part of the stakeout, okay?”
“I’m duly lectured.”
Downtown Big Rapids was still hopping thanks to the local casinos, pizza joints, and ice cream parlors. But farther into the shadows, the section that included the bars, otherwise called dives, began. Bar Wars was at a halfway point—not quite in the limelight, not quite in the darkness.
