“Put your foot on the brake,” he said.
Once he showed me a couple of things and pointed out that the screen also helped, I was on my way to Stella’s house.
“Damn this thing is fast,” I said, enjoying the speed.
I loved my Prius, but the Tesla was way more fun to drive. We got to her house in record time. Her car wasn’t in her driveway, but I insisted on going inside.

Isaac turned to Liam. “You’re the man with all the hookups. See what you can find.”
Liam sent another round of texts and slid the phone in his pocket. “Until we have a lead, we need to go about our lives. Carefully. We all have work to do, and I have men I pay to do the rest. So, let’s go home.”
