Bangor?I just got it two days ago. Jerald would not be pleased if he knew I’d left Bangor without getting it filled.Lynda’s words echoed amid the thoughts spinning in Sarah’s head. “That’s where she goes to the doctor.”
Kale glanced at Sarah. “What?”
“Lynda Pope. She told me she goes to see a specialist in Bangor. When we were searching for your sister, she mentioned that she’d gotten a new prescription just two days before from her doctor in Bangor.”
Kale stared straight ahead. Kept driving.
“Admit it,” she demanded. “That’s too many coincidences to be circumstantial.”
“August has to know that’s where her doctor is,” Kale argued. “They tracked down her prescription.”
“Forget it!” He was like talking to a brick wall!
“Is it August?”
She turned to face him. “What?”
He braked for a stop and set those dark eyes on her. “Are you certain there isn’t still something between the two of you? Is that why he has to be wrong? You need that conflict to prove something?”
She reached for the door handle. “I don’t have to listen to this.”
He punched the accelerator, earning a couple of horn blares for the move. “I’m not letting you out of my sight.”
Her cell phone vibrated. She started to ignore it but decided that she’d rather ignore Kale. “Newton.”
“So now you’ve pissed off the FBI.”
Her editor. “I don’t have time for this, Don.” Had he seen the news clip already?
“Your former favorite fed called me.”
Well, that answered that question.
“He threatened to have his director on my back if I didn’t get you under control.”
“Oh, yeah?” If he was about to insist she come back to New York, he could save his breath.
“Oh, yeah,” Don echoed. “I told him he could forget about it. I don’t take orders from him or his director.”
Sarah smiled. “I’ll try to stay out of his way.”
“That would make life simpler.”
Yeah, yeah, she knew.
“I’d tell you to keep me updated on the changing situation, but I guess I’ll have to count on the news for that.”
She promised to do better and ended the call.
“Is there still something between you and August?”
That Kale had the audacity to repeat the question made her want to slug him.
“The only thing between Lex August and me is animosity.”
“What exactly did he do?” Kale shrugged. “Besides being a complete asshole, I mean.”
“He screwed up a case. Got an innocent man killed and then used my conclusions on the case as his own to cover his ass.”
