Making Her Way Home (2012)
“Sitting and waiting was close enough. Usually staying alert was the challenge. The monotony was there, but not the boredom. In one way the minutes crawled, in another way time passed with the roar of a freight train bearing down on a stalled car.
Sitting still so long, Mike developed nervous tics he’d never had before. He thought he might have gone nuts if he’d had to stay unobtrusive in his car, but at least he could get out and stretch, walk around a little since the home owner knew he wa...s there.
Other people were trying to locate Adler. Every Adler in the phone directory was getting a call, in case one of them was related. The FBI had taken on the task of tracking down the grocery store employees that Mike hadn’t managed to contact. So far, no cigar.

After calling Beth again this morning to let her know where they were at, he hadn’t phoned again.MoreLess
