Sylvie Kurtz - Mask Of A Hunter

She swiveled out of his reach and grabbed the handles of Hannah’s stroller. “What would that gain me?”

“Acceptance.” He tweaked Hannah’s nose. She laughed and made him grin. “And maybe the answers you want.”

Rory shoved at the hopeless mess her bun had become. “So where do these biker people hang out?”

He curled his fingers against the urge to comb through the wild red temptation of Rory’s hair. “You can’t go to a biker bar on your own.”

“Seems like a good place to meet people.” She smiled that saccharine smile he was coming to associate with him losing a round. “I’ll see you at the bar with the half motorcycle sticking out of the building at seven.”

Before he could answer, she strollered Hannah around the building and onto the sidewalk.

She’d maneuvered him into a neat corner. But what the heck? The Hangout was tame enough on Thursday nights. She’d get a taste of the fulfilling life of a biker chick. The chances she’d blow his cover were slim. Maybe an evening out would convince her she wasn’t the right person for the job of finding Felicia. Better she learn with him there to watch over her hide than stir up a bonfire of trouble on her own.

And if the gods were smiling on him, she’d pack up and leave in the morning. He shook his head. “Yeah, right.”

Before he headed back in, he took a detour to the warehouse. Felicia’s Vulcan was still up on its blocks. He tossed off the protective tarp. The red paint gleamed under the fluorescent lights. Clean. Too clean. He checked the tires and found soft earth caught in the treads. Fresh. Why had she taken the bike out and washed it before putting it back on its blocks as if it had been there all winter?

Or maybe someone had done it for her.

He let the tarp fall back into place and headed to the industrial shelving for a case of motor oil to take back to the shop. All around him metal shelves groaned with new and used car and motorcycle parts ready for sale.

How hard was it for someone who owned and operated a garage stocked with used parts to make a car disappear?
