Today’s excerpt is from latest
release…Monster’s Palace. Jo
outwits two thugs. Enjoy and have a wonderful day.
m.j.
As soon as Tino
and Basil realized Jo had left, they were not too concerned. They planned to find her car, using the GPS
device. Their plan would have worked
except, as she drove away, Jo started wondering how they had managed to find
her so soon after her arrival at Clyde’s home.
Jo was far from a modern device twit, so in time figured out they must
have some sort of device on her car.
She stopped,
looked under her car, spotted the device, pulled it free, and drove off. Reaching her store, there was a newspaper
delivery van parked nearby. The driver
was placing the Sunday paper in a vending machine. Jo took the device and walked up to the
van. She reached under it and attached
the GPS “gadget” (as she thought of it) under the van.
It took Tino
and Basil two hours to track down the often-turning delivery van. It had stopped in front of them. Still not knowing the van was the target,
when they saw the blinking light on their indicator stop, they pulled in behind
it—thinking Jo must have pulled to a stop in front of the van.
Tino had Basil
get out of the passenger seat to go take a look. He returned to their car. “I don’t see her car anywhere.”
Tino had a
bewildered look as he pondered what he’d been told. Just as he was about to open his mouth to
speak, the van pulled out. When the
indicator again showed movement, Basil asked, “Do you think…?”
“I think Miss
Kelly is much smarter than we gave her credit for.”
They followed the delivery van until it stopped again. Rather than worry about retrieving their
homing device, Tino drove off. As he
did, he glanced over at Basil. “I fear
we have an unfortunate phone call to make.”
“No, you have an unfortunate phone call to
make.”
