His new client shook her head. “I watched this guy bury a woman’s body on the beach last night. Forgive me for not feeling like a burger. We should just get back to San Diego so you can find this guy. We can talk on the way.”
He should do it her way. The customer was always right. But he could see the exhaustion in her eyes. It wasn’t his place to take care of this woman, in fact, she’d obviously rather that he didn’t. But he couldn’t have his clients fainting on him, especially not when they were this fascinating.

He turned the key and the Mustang’s V-8 roared to life. He revved the engine and glanced over at her. “Won’t do either of us any good if you pass out. When was the last time you slept or ate?”
She rolled her eyes and stared out the passenger-side window. “I’m fine.”
He slammed the clutch to the floor and slid the gearshift into reverse. “Yeah, well, I need food, so you might as well have some, too.”
On the drive, she told him about the webcam and the morning visit to the Sheriff. But the moment he asked about her attack, she shut him out, glaring out the passenger window. He wasn’t going to coax it out of her. She’d share when she was ready.
Right now, his top priority was finding the Hingo demon. And the first step would be keeping his only eyewitness alive.
