"All right, you go dry your hair and I go change my clothes." I opened my suitcase and on top there was a sweater and turtle neck that still had tags on them. I looked over at Kendall, and she smiled. I gave her my you-shouldn’t-have-done-this, you-didn’t-need-to-do-this, but I’m-kinda-glad-you-did-this-anyway look, tore off the tags, grabbed a pair of my jeans and socks, and went into the bathroom. I put on the clothes. She’s very sneaky. All of it fit. Walking outside, I asked, "How did you know what size to get?"
Turning off the hair dryer, she said, "Easily, I checked your tag while doing your makeup!" We matched, which I would guess was the point of it. Seeing as there was no more danger of people finding out who I was, I was able to go without makeup. I was still kinda bruised, but it looked okay. She just put on enough makeup and stuff that girls do, and we were off. I stopped by the rental car place to give them the car I had, which was better than the one I had rented, telling them that someone stole mine and picked out a new one. They were kind of hesitant, but I got them to call Michelle in Nanopolis, and she said that I was a good risk. They made me promise to return it, though.
Arriving at the police station, I parked across the street, got out of my car, and went around to the other side. Kendall had gotten out, and we went, together, into the station. Walking inside, an officer called us over. "You look a whole lot better, sir. I see that you’ve found your young lady."
"Yes sir. What is the problem? You said that it was urgent."
"And indeed it is, my boy. Those two guys have been bailed out of jail. An anonymous amount of money was mailed here, postmarked this morning. It seems that someone wanted them out today. I just thought that you’d like to know that."
"Thanks."
"You’re welcome. If you’d like, I could send a guard with you."
"That won’t be necessary, but thank you anyway."
"Suit yourself. If you need anything, just call."
"Will do," I said, turning to Kendall. I escorted her back to the car, and we drove back to the hotel. Once inside, and our jackets and shoes taken off (to prevent tracking the snow in the room), Kendall sat on her bed with one foot on it. I stood thinking.
"Penny for your thoughts," Kendall said.
"Well, I was just thinking. What could those guys be up to? You didn’t tell them where you were staying?"
"No."
"So they can’t get us here. I think that I’ll pay another visit to the Red River tonight."
"Why?"
"I want to catch these two guys."
"I’m coming too."
"No, Kendall, I don’t want you hurt."
"Believe it or not, I can take care of myself."
"And what about the other night?"
"The other night, I was trying not to ruin our cover!"
"Right."
"How about you in Orlando?" She said, with a grin.
"Okay, okay. You win. You can come along, except you’re not leaving my sight."
