Sharon and Jerry started from Colorado to Cattle Creek. It wouldn't be long till they either found Adam or had a lead on where he might be. Sharon could not wait to see his handsome face. She only hoped he would be happy to see her and that he remembered her. Their trip was uneventful. When they pulled into the quaint little town Sharon felt like she had stepped back in time. They found a bed and breakfast at the North East side of town. They rented a couple of rooms and cleaned up a bit. They started at this side of town asking questions. The lady who owned the bed and breakfast didn't know an Adam Newman but she thought the picture they showed her looked a little familiar. She might have seen him in church once. Thanks Sharon said.

They started out to the church next. Jerry walked up to the preacher and asked if he had seen the man in the photo. It's hard to say young man I see so many people in a week. I understand Jerry said. He told Sharon what the preacher said. She said let's go to that diner down the road and have some lunch and then continue our search. As they entered a pretty waitress said, sit where you like I'll be right with you. She brought coffee and water Sharon said no thanks to the coffee but sipped on the water. Jerry took his coffee black. The waitress introduced herself as Leslie and took their order. Sharon took the picture of Adam out and laid it on the table. When the waitress brought their food she noticed the picture laying there but said nothing.

As she entered the kitchen area she told Meg about the picture of Adam Reardon the lady had. Should I answer questions if they ask? I don't know maybe we should get ahold of Dusty and let him know. Ok I will go out and avoid them while you call. Let me know what he says. Meg called Dusty and told him about the two strangers in the diner and the picture of Adam. Did you say one was a pretty blond with blue eyes? Yes and the other is an older black gentleman. What should we do? I'm a good three hours away, Dusty said. I won't be of much help but I do want to meet these people. Give them my address when they get there they won't find me at home so maybe we can put them off another day.

Meg came out and helped Leslie clear a table. She told her what Dusty said and told her to come to her for the address if they asked. Leslie approached Sharon's table and gathered their empty plates would you like pie we have some really good homemade apple and peach pies today. Jerry took apple and Sharon ordered peach and a small milk. Hum Leslie thought Adam ordered milk and pie quite often. She returned with the pie and milk, then retrieved the coffee pot and filled Jerry's cup. He thanked her. Sharon said excuse me but do you know this man, as she held out the picture of Adam. Leslie took the picture and looked at it. Hold on she said and she took the picture over to Meg. They spoke a bit and Meg came up to the table.

He looks familiar she said. I think he may have worked for Dusty Hawkins at one point. Do you know how we can get in touch with him it's really important Sharon said? I don't know it might go against some privacy law, Meg said. Don't worry we don't plan on hurting anyone and we are not bill collectors. Alright then Meg said and she took her pen out and pretended to write Dusty's address and directions on the paper she had written it on earlier. She handed it to Jerry and asked if there was anything else they needed. Just the check please and thank you very much for the information.

They were hopeful as they followed the directions to the house. When they arrived and knocked on the door no one answered. Sharon was disappointed. Of course they couldn't guarantee a quick fix but she was hoping for a better lead.
