you with the marathon trails.”
I stiffened. “You mean Chantal?” Had she trapped Yves too?
“Oui, Chantal Bergeron. She is the daughter of a business associate.”
I breathed more easily. “I didn’t know Yvette knew her. She never let on.”
“Non, they never met before. In fact, I myself didn’t know she was working here until her father phoned me this morning.”
“Why are you asking?”
“I hope you can assist me. Her father is worried. It is five days since he expected her to return to her home in Montreal, but she did not return, nor has she contacted him. His daughter is not, how you say, reliable. He was not concerned until her friend telephoned last night. This friend and Chantal had tickets for a rock concert, but Chantal did not come. Her father asked me to find out if she is still in this area.”
Remembering who had the nerve to assign her to my team in the first place, I said, “Call Eric Odjik, the organizer. He should know.”
“But wasn’t she one of the persons helping you clear the trails?”
The image of Chantal’s contorted face screeching a French insult jumped to mind. “She was. However, last time I saw her was on the trail. Eric said he saw her later at the Forgotten Bay Fishing Camp.”
“You are certain?”
“Yes… No, wait a minute. Eric said something about Pierre finding her. Try him. Or even John-Joe.” From the way she’d been pawing both of them, I could see her deciding that unzipping either guy’s pants, or even both of them, would be more fun than any rock concert.
“Pierre? John-Joe? How do I contact these men?”
“Eric should know where to find them.”
“I do not mean to disturb your good morning with such a trivial concern. Unfortunately, she is like too many young Québécoise, in a hurry to leave the protection of her father’s house. Probably I will find her with one of these young men. When I do, I think it will be necessary to invent a story for her father, non?”
