Today’s excerpt is from Bigfoot
Bait, the second of three Bob Becker books. The group hunting for one of the kidnappers is
making progress by finding where he stopped for gas on his trip, but much work
left to be done. Enjoy and have a great
day.
m.j.
While Salazar
followed Michelle to the home she shared with Bob, Dan and Janet had discovered
the next stop Biden had made. Back in
their car, as Janet drove, Dan did some fast calculations, then called Jim.
Jim answered,
“You got more for us? We could use
it. As it is we’re all heading back to
square one.”
“Just leaving
his next stop on the way to you.
Assuming he doesn’t stop in Spokane, or before it, and assuming the next two stops before Spokane are about where I’ve
got them plotted, he should have gone through Spokane mid-morning, with his
next stop being about fifty miles past it.
But, I’d say you’re better off going back to your starting point as
you’re doing now.”
“Yeah, but we’ll
be too early. Think I’ll suggest
everyone get some rest before we start over again. How are you doing on getting any rest?”
“Awful. Actually, not that bad. Janet and I have both managed to get some
sleep while the other one is driving, but damned sure not enough.”
“Too bad you
can’t stop for awhile. But guess if you
do, it’d blow your timing.”
“Yeah, it
would. Probably see you sometime in the
morning. So long.”
Jim was still
smiling as he set up a conference with his other three searchers. When he did, he told Bob and Hector to find a
motel to get a few hours sleep, after he told them why. To Holly, he said, “Let’s find us one too,
honey.”
“Aw shucks,
husband, I was just getting used to going without sleep.”
