The Long Ride
“Stevie said, looking at her watch and then at Carole. “I promised you a ride home and I still have to shower before I go to work. We’d better get going. Can I give you a lift anywhere, Lisa?” She glanced at the check and put her share of it on the table. Carole followed suit.
“No thanks,” Lisa said. “I have to go back to Pine Hollow. I left a library book in my cubby, and I’d better return it today or I might not have a chance.” She took out her wallet and added her share.
The three girls stood... up.
“We’ll talk to you before you go,” Stevie said.
Lisa nodded. “Definitely,” she agreed. She gave them each a quick hug and headed for the door.
Stevie and Carole walked the short distance to Stevie’s house.
“Where’s the car?” Carole asked.
“In the garage,” Stevie said. Carole was a little surprised. Normally both Stevie and Alex left the car in the driveway, ready to go in a second. “Wait here, I’ll bring it out,” Stevie said.
Stevie had backed the car into the garage so that it could be stored with the broken taillight and dented end in the place least likely to be detected by her brother or her parents.MoreLess
