Chapter 21: Just Us Girls

"The river walk. By the old freight dock. Noon." The engine sound changed, like she'd turned onto a highway. "Alone, Rosie. If I see that corporal, I'm gone."
She hung up.
Sawyer was looking at me.
"No," he said.
"She said everything about B."
"She said that to get you alone on a river."
"In the middle of downtown. At noon. With a hundred tourists eating shrimp."
He rubbed his face with both hands.
"Then I'm on a bench," he said. "Where I can see you. That's not a question, Ro."
"She said no husband."
"She'll live."
At eleven that night, the youngest kid on Sawyer's crew sat at the kitchen counter upstairs and put an app on my phone.
"It records," he said. "And it saves to the cloud every ten seconds while it's going. You could drop it in a blender and you'd lose ten seconds."
"Why do you know about this?"
He went red.
"My girlfriend's mama says stuff about me," he said. "I like to have receipts."
The river walk at noon on Monday smelled like fried fish and diesel.
