Wordle #1038 – LASER
“Making it look like your purse and car keys were stolen,” Bree said matter-of-factly. Her demeanor had changed from nervous and skittish to laser-focused in an instant. “We’ll say that we left the bar together in my car, that you were too drunk to notice you’d left your purse behind. Which is, like, kinda true…”
She then grabbed me under the arm and dragged me away from the Subaru. I had to lean heavily on her for support, my feet dragging through the dirt.
“Come on, we have to get out of here before someone drives by and sees us,” Bree said, urging me to keep up, then resumed her cover story. “We’ll say that we planned to go back to the bar the next day to pick up your car—we didn’t know it was stolen.”
She was trying to get our alibis straight, but she might as well have been talking to a wet sock for all the response I gave. I attempted a nod to show that I was listening but a swoony wave of dizziness swamped me.
Before I could pitch face-first into the ground, Bree deposited me into the passenger seat of her Prius like I was no more than a bag of groceries. She slammed the door behind me, rounded the hood of the car, and jumped behind the wheel in a matter of seconds, three-inch heels and all.
