she kew what that men , and she was still intrested no matter what she said .
but he'd found reaons to chase her away . as usual .
he'd never felt so lonely .when he came outside , he saw a guy in a black lether jacket and baseball cap nbending down , looking at the half bald thirteen inch wheels of the rental car with a flashlight . when the dude saw him . he gave elliott a hard stare . then he turned and left . leuisurely , as if he knew relliot wouldn't question him or followi
it was getting to be a mantra .
at a strip mall along the forested road he saw a mexican restaurant with red and yellow and green peper lights strung around the front , fuck it , i'm hungry , he thought .
inside . he amost thought better of it . except for the cooks and the waiter , who scowled at him , the place was empty . when te waiter threw down elliott 's beer in fron of him , elliottt said , " if you want to close up , just sa so and i'll leave ."
the waiter didn't answer ; e just walked away and stood behind the vcounter , ignoring elliot . fingering thge wad of cash in his pocket , elliot drank his beer , his notebook nestled reassuiringly in his pocket , and he thought of getting it out to review some fingures , but he didn't . pretty soon greasy chiles rellenos arrived on a plate with room temperature rice and refried beans . elliotr ate until he thought he'd explode .
when he came outside , he saw a guy in a black lether jacket and baseball cap nbending down , looking at the half bald thirteen inch wheels of the rental car with a flashlight . when the dude saw him . he gave elliott a hard stare . then he turned and left . leuisurely , as if he knew relliot wouldn't question him or followi him . the way he moved as h walked off into the night scarred elloitt .
it couldn't be ! he stepped back into the shelter of the ressdtaurant and held on to the door , breathing hard .
so someone had been watching while he and carleen wrangled .
" we're closed , " the waiter said .
" just - one second . i have to use the head ." he wasn't ready to go out there yet . locking himself into the btroom , eliott pulled out his cell phone and called silke .
