“Any news on the brakes?” I asked, idly tracing the desk edge with my fingers. Læm was still on my mind, but I couldn’t relax until the brake problem was handled.
Cody’s face went serious. “I checked it out. Someone messed with your brakes. The guy who did it has vanished. I’ve sent people to his hometown. We should hear something soon.”
“Good. When you find him, don’t tip him off. I want whoever is behind this.” I paused, swallowing hard. “And… put the Læm case on hold for now.”
Charles exploded, “Are you crazy?! You’ve been after her for three years, and now you’re giving up? You’re really going to walk away just because she doesn’t want to be found?”
I closed my eyes and forced the bitterness down. If she wanted to hide, there was nothing I could do. If fate let us meet again, we would.
Cody nodded respectfully. “Yes, sir. Understood.”
After he left, the office felt empty even with the city lights outside. They didn’t fill the hole inside me.
I grabbed my keys and went out. For some reason, I drove toward Missy Bar. Maybe I needed fresh air. But I didn’t expect to see anyone I knew.
Amanda’s POV:
After dinner, I was doing my training notes when Aunt Susan pinged me through the mind link.
“Amanda, what are you up to?”
“Planning stuff.”
She was quiet for a moment, then burst out laughing. “Since when do you need to do this?”
“Aunt Susan… “I sighed and rubbed my forehead.
Alice snickered inside me. “With that tone, Aunt Susan is definitely plotting something. Bet she’s trying to drag you out for crazy fun again.”
Sure enough, Aunt Susan changed tack. “Sweetheart, I’m at Missy Bar. Can you come out for a drink with me?”
I glanced at the clock and shut my planner. “Okay, I’ll be there.”
I fixed my makeup quickly in the mirror-heavy foundation, crooked brows. No one would recognize me. I grabbed my bag and left.
Alice muttered, “That makeup is horrible but safe. Bars are full of types. Don’t let anyone figure out who
you are.”

I took a cab to the bar. The music was blasting so loud that my ears felt like they might pop. I spotted Aunt Susan wasted in a corner. “Aunt Susan!”
She heard me, threw an arm around me, and shoved a drink into my hand. “Amanda! Come on, have a few with me!”
“Aunt Susan, you’re already drunk. You can’t drink more. Let me take you home.”
I reached for her glass, but she shoved me away. “No way. I’m not going home. I want to keep drinking!”
Alice said, “Don’t try to stop her. Aunt Susan is in a mood. Let her unwind, but watch her.”
So, I sat and clinked glasses. “Okay, Aunt Susan, cheers!”
She smiled at me. “That’s my girl! Cheers!”
After a few drinks, she pulled me onto the dance floor.
