I glanced her way.“I’m with her.”
“Good,” Travis said, agreeably.“The sooner the better.”
Reagan nodded, then reached for my hand.
“Looks like that’s my cue,” I said with a grin before allowing Reagan to lead me out of the building.
“Where to?”
“I was thinkin’ the diner.”
I nodded.“You drive, I’ll start callin’ around.”
Her smile was so damn sweet I was tempted to kiss her.Since we seemed to be in a time crunch and I was not looking forward to stopping once I started, I refrained.Barely.
Less than five minutes later,I was still on the phone, following Reagan inside the diner.
“That’s right,” I told Ed.“Round ’em up and head on over.”
“Will do,” Ed confirmed.“Give me ten minutes.”
“Sure thing.”I cut the connection and dropped into my chair after pulling Reagan’s out for her.I started dialing almost instantly.
“What can I get you kids?”Donna asked, stopping at our table.
“Some information,” Reagan replied while I waited for Jimmy Don to answer his phone.
Donna’s eyebrows shot up and a smile curled her mouth.“Well, you’ve come to the right place.”
“Have you seen any strange people around here lately?”Reagan asked.
Donna’s eyes instantly slid over to me.
I laughed, grinning up at her.The woman was something else.
“Besides him,” Donna said, jerking her thumb in my direction, “can’t say that I have.Not lately.”
“Well, we need to get the word out,” Reagan explained.“Amy’s got some trouble and we suspect the man is gonna reappear at any moment.”
Donna frowned.“What kinda trouble?”
Reagan shrugged.“Don’t know all the details,” she lied easily.“But we know he’s probably gonna come lookin’ for her.”
“This guy have anything to do with your bar bein’ blown up?”
Reagan shrugged.“Not sure yet.But it’s possible.”
“I knew that kid was in trouble,” Donna mumbled.“And I’m with you, honey.Whatever you need.”
“Good.Do you mind if we hold a town meeting in here?”
“Right now?”Donna looked a little leery.
“If at all possible,” Reagan replied.
“All right.But don’t expect great service.It’s just me here tonight.”
“No worries.”Reagan smiled.“In the meantime, keep an eye out for anyone suspicious.And make sure you tell everyone you see to do the same.”
