Chapter 22

  The phone rang and Lucas answered, “Hello?”

  “It’s Harold.”

  “Harold? Where the heck have you been?”

  “I was sort of camping, but right now I’m at Bonnie’s, I mean, at our place, in town, but she’s not here.”

  “Look, about before...”

  “Don’t worry about it,” Harold said. “I understand. I been doing some thinking, and I think I have my head screwed on straight for the first time in about six months, and I have some things I want to do...”

  “Hold on a second,” Lucas said. “Bonnie isn’t there because she’s out looking for you. And she’s serious about it. She showed up at my place tonight and went to the club meeting with us, hoping you’d turn up.”

  “Really?”

  “Uh huh. But that’s not all. Remember the rings I told you about? Monty got back night before last with the rings and he got robbed at the airport. The chick that did it said she was with the Disciples of Demeter. We have to get those rings back. I’m waiting on a call from Jigsaw, he’s calling some friends of his who have DMV access so we can go to the address.”

  “Hold on,” Harold said. “Where’s Bonnie now?”

  “I don’t know.”

  “Well, when you get that address, call me and I’ll meet you there.”

  “Are you serious? You mean you’re coming?” Lucas said.

  “Oh yeah. I’m in. Call me.”

  “Will do,” Lucas said.
