answered without missing a beat, “As a businessman in both countries, I’m sure that a little trip down there to scope out the area for new trucking clients isn’t out of line, right?”
    “Keep us posted on any new…clients that you get while you’re there,” Lopez said. “We’ll keep the Tucson police in the dark as much as possible because they feel obligated to share what they know with the FBI and US Border Patrol, and they feel obligated to share what they know with the Mexican police. I think it’s best if we get our hands on the driver first.”
    “Well, if you want to give the Tucson police a bone, tell them to check the supply closet opposite Hannah’s room,” Rush said. “I haven’t heard it come out in the news yet, so I’m guessing no one has spotted the Chupacabra I left under a pile of dirty laundry in the corner.”
    “Oh fuck!” Lopez exclaimed and then with an apologetic glance towards Hannah, “I mean, darn! We better get the Tucson guys right on that. I imagine finding one of those bastards - I mean, ass—jerks,” he finally stumbled into, “without any warning would give a nurse a heart attack.”
    Hannah hid her smile against Turbo’s fur. It felt good to have something to smile about.
    “I hadn’t thought about that,” Rush said apologetically. “I just wanted him out of the way while I got Hannah out of there.”
    “Speaking of, I didn’t believe Mr. Wright’s story for a moment,” Lopez said, with another apologetic glance at Hannah. “Not to call him a liar, but what the hell really happened last night?”
    Rush quickly ran through the night’s activities, and Lopez shook his head in disgust. “The whole Tucson police department oughta be lined up and shot for not thinking to protect Hannah from Chupa retaliation.”
    “That was my thought, too,” Rush said drily. “Someone’s head ought to roll for that decision.”
    Lopez and Davis stood up, shaking hands with Rush and Lain, but Hannah slipped back into her funk, unable to move. Goddamn Miguel, you almost got me killed! And Isabel…you may have actually killed her. May you rot in hell, you bastard .
    Rush left with the two policemen, escorting them outside, leaving Hannah and Lain alone in the living room. It was awkward, to say the least, and so Hannah did what she’d been brought up to do - have good manners. She forced herself to sit up, rather than slump against Turbo’s welcoming presence, and make eye contact with Lain. “Thank you for all of your help with this. I know you’re not my biggest fan, and having you help with this search for the little girls just because of me is way above and beyond what I’d ever expect you to do.”
    Lain looked at her, the puzzled look on his face again, but as he opened up his mouth to reply, Rush jumped in smoothly. “It’s the least we can do, Blue.” Hannah jumped, surprised he’d come back - she hadn’t heard him close the front door. “Lain, shouldn’t we let her rest?” They exchanged glances and then Lain gave a jerky nod of the head.
    “Absolutely.” He left, shutting the front door behind him quietly. I heard that door closing, Hannah thought to herself crossly.
    “Rush,” she said aloud, a don’t-fuck-with-me tone in her voice, “what was that all about?” She glared at him, trying to figure out what the hell was going on.
    “You know Lain,” Rush said dismissively. “I didn’t want to give him a chance to yell at you.” Hannah stared at him. What the hell? Lain was confused, not angry. He was not just about to yell at me . She opened up her mouth to ask him what the fuck he was talking about when there was a rap on the front door and then it opened.
    “The guys must be here,” Rush said, heading back out into the foyer. “I’m going to walk with them around the grounds and show them what areas I want them guarding. I’ll be right back.” She heard the men chat and then the front door closed and the sound disappeared with
