Excerpt
Birgit rested her head against the steering wheel. No wonder there wasn’t anything in this town. She’d somehow unknowingly driven into Mexico. Though, how she had gotten through border control without being stopped, was anyone’s guess. “Why didn’t you invest in that GPS like Angie suggested?” If she had, she would already be in Roswell with her problems, not stuck here—wherever here was. A little inner voice reminded her. It’s in the middle of nowhere. That’s where it is.
Her heart sank at the thought. Leave it to her and her colossal bad luck to end up in the middle of nowhere with a broken-down car.
The voices drew closer, speaking the strange language that didn’t sound like any Spanish she’d ever heard before.
It was obvious by the timbre they were male, and by the glimpse she got of them as they strode through the smoke still drifting around the car, they were both well over six-feet tall. The strange language stopped as the men reached her driver’s door. They bent and looked in the window.
“Can we help you, ma’am?” the taller one asked in heavily accented English.
His lips curving a bit, he rested his forearms on the edge of her window. He didn’t look Hispanic with his blond hair and ice-blue eyes. His intense stare discomfited her when he glanced down at the ungodly mess in her car.
Birgit wanted to slide down in the seat. She knew the interior looked like a pigsty, but she’d been on the road for the last several days on vacation. She hadn’t taken the time to clean the trash out of it in a couple of days.
“Um… Yes. Yes, you can.” Thinning her lips, she pulled the keys from the ignition and handed them to the man. “First, I need you to tell me where the hell I am. Then, I need you to haul this piece of crap to the junkyard if you have one around here.” She pushed the trunk release, opened her door, and got out of the car. “They can have the damn thing for all I care.”
The two men stood staring at her as she strode around to get her things out of the trunk.
“Why not have us fix it, instead?” the slightly shorter one asked as he leaned in and pulled the hood release. “We do have a full-service station. We fix cars all the time.”
“Don’t bother.” She yanked her small suitcase from the trunk, set it on the ground, and reached in for the larger one. “My last mechanic told me the next time it died, he wouldn’t be able to fix it. Stick a fork in it. It’s done.”
