Grand Theft Retro (Style & Error Mystery Series Book 5) - Plot & Excerpts
Kidd, I want you to walk away from this project,” Loncar said. “With all due respect, this is ‘project’ is my job. It’s the first real job I’ve had since moving to Ribbon. It’s not like I haven’t been trying, either. You have no idea how hard it is for a former fashion buyer to find work these days.”“You could always move back to New York City,” he said. “Are you trying to get rid of me?”“It would sure make my life easier.” We both stood. Around us, a team of busboys in white aprons cleared the empty tables. I adjusted the hem of my sweatshirt and looked at Loncar. “Thank you for listening to me.”“Ms. Kidd, it’s my job to listen to you. Anybody else and I’d give the info to one of my rookies and have them follow up with a few phone calls to try to locate this Mr. Smith. But you have a track record, so I’m going to follow up on this myself.”Implied but not said (by him): I sure hope this isn’t some kind of a joke.Not said but thought (by me): I really wish it was.We went our separate ways: Loncar to the door marked Stairs and me past the front desk and out to the parking lot.
