Celeste wasn't totally surprised to see her. After all, she was on the street in Akron, Ohio where Paisley lived. On the other hand, she was alarmed by Paisley's high rate of speed. Is there an emergency? Celeste chucked the wheel hard to the left and swung her Hyundai around in a tight U-turn. There wasn't quite enough street for the full turn, so the passenger side tires had to ride up over the curb to make it. When all four tires were back on the street, Celeste stomped on the accelerator. She didn't usually drive like a maniac, but Paisley was the one she'd come to see. Paisley was the first stop in Cary's secret plan. Paisley could mean the difference between finding Cary and never seeing him again. Up ahead, Celeste saw Paisley's blue Toyota barrel left around a corner. Celeste made the same turn just a few seconds behind. Paisley hurtled through a stop sign at what Celeste guessed was at least sixty miles per hour.
