The Nomination (2011)
“It was nearly three in the morning, and this was his fifth trip past the place since he’d gotten to Key Largo late that afternoon.
On his first pass, Moran had observed that the trash still hadn’t been cleaned out of the carport. Nor had the boat’s hull been scraped or the shutter repaired or the lawn cut or the gardens weeded.
Now, after five trips past her place, the maroon VW with the daisy on the antenna still hadn’t showed up.
Bunny Brubaker, he figured, had gotten lucky. She was shacked u...p for the night.
He smiled to himself, remembering his night with her. If she was shacked up, he thought, it was definitely the guy who’d gotten lucky.
I could do it now, he thought. She’s not coming home tonight.
Nope. Can’t take that chance.
So he drove the rental—it was a Chevy sedan this time, rented under a different name with a different credit card from a different Miami rental agency—back up Route 1 to his motel. Not the same motel as last time, either.
THE NEXT MORNING he thought about going to the dolphin place, but he couldn’t risk Bunny spotting him.MoreLess
