Chapter 17: The Loan

Headlights swept across the gravel yard, and the flamingo's shadow jumped up the wall.

A black truck had stopped at Gran's curb with its engine running.

Colt got out and left the door open, and the dome light shone on his bare, angry face.

"Stay inside," Tobin said.

"It's my phone he texted."

"Then stay behind me."

Gran took a rolling pin out of the umbrella stand and stepped onto the porch first.

"Young man," she said. "You are on my gravel."

"Mrs. Gault, I'm not here for you." Colt held up a stapled packet of paper. "I'm here for him."

He walked up to Tobin and slapped the packet against his chest.

"Read page forty-one," he said.

Tobin read it under the porch light.

I read it over his arm.

It was a list of company names, with numbers beside each one, and a line was circled in red pen.

Whitaker Auto Group, it said. Floorplan note, $2,300,000. Holder: Gault Ridge Finance.
