by Jeffery Deaver

How much horsepower?It was the six, not the eight, but big enough—330 or something.

She in good shape?Well, pretty good. She was going to a spa to work on that, lose a few pounds. Not that she had to, of course.

Tools in the car?Just tire changing.

You said she was a moderately good driver; had she ever had accidents?Yes, fender benders and they were her fault. Not paying attention.

Was the tank full?I don’t know.

Did she have warm clothing?Whatever you’d normally take on a visit to a spa.

Matches or cigarette lighter?No. She didn’t smoke.

Liquor?Definitely not.

Did she get scared easily?Like snakes?

Anything. Do snakes scare her?I don’t know. I guess no phobias.
