Time to Give Up

Laura and Laney had driven up and down the same few streets hundreds of times over the last few weeks, constantly looking for the elusive black Corvette Giovani was known to wheel around town. They only knew that he was staying somewhere in the area because they had caught a glimpse of him peeling out once, several weeks ago, followed shortly thereafter by an incident where they had trailed him into the area, only to be found out and led on a high-speed chase across town, ending with a smashed-up fender on Laura's Charger. The paint job had not been spectacular, and each time she caught a glimpse, it made Laura's blood boil all over again. It was yet another reminder of how close she had been to finally ending this weary, exhaustive search.
