“I need to know which cars were checked out on February 22.”
“You gotta fill out a form online. Takes a couple weeks to get the report.”
“Is there any chance we can rush the order? I needed it like, you know, yesterday.”
“I hear ya. Demanding boss?”
“Something like that.”
“I can fill it out here.” He swung the computer screen around. “Might speed things up.”
“Anything you can do is appreciated. Actually, is there a way to check on a particular senator?”
“Yup. Which one?”
“George Internado,” she murmured.
“Busy man. He uses the service every week. Let’s get this done for you. What’s your name?”
“Pierce Stone.”
“Address.”
“Can we skip that?”
“Nope.”
She provided her former work address, where her sister had set up shop.
“What dates do you want us to check?”
“February 21, 22 and 25.”
“I need an email address to send the report.”
She provided her work email.
“Reason you need this info?”
“Does the report include GPS locations?”
“I can check that field. I need a reason for your request.”
“My boss.”
“Name.”
The clerk looked up and grinned. “Hey, Senator. We was just—”
Carly’s heart jumped into her throat. Rather than waiting in line like everyone else, Internado waddled over to the counter. “How’s the day treating you, Byron?”
“Just fine, just fine. How’s things goin’ for you?”
Carly nudged the screen back toward the clerk.
“Hello there, young lady.” The senator’s friendly smile turned her stomach.
“Hello.”
