I answered the phone without checking caller ID, always a mistake. It was Marilyn Stemp with the world-famous Flying Piston Benefit Breakfast.

Bandit read her note again in a coffee shop at 1:00 in the morning. He hoped it wouldn’t happen, but he could feel it in her features and her comments. She was on the drift. Without her there was nothing except his favorite flannel and his leather saddlebags. Maybe it had to do with motorcycles
