Today’s excerpt is from Bigfoot
Bait, Book #2 of the Becker Trilogy.
Dan and Janet, following one of the kidnapper’s course by finding his
gas stops, calculate when he would go through Spokane. Dan calls Jim to pass the information
on. Enjoy and have a fantastic day.

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—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’re 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 a while. 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.”
