“Also just once, a couple of weeks ago. He introduced chanel handbags outlet himself, realfriendly, maybe too much, you know?”
     “Slick?”
     “Exactly. He told me he was thinking of taking a vacation in Latin America and wanted information. I offered to sitdown with him and discuss choices but he said he’d start with those.” Pointingto the rack. “He grabbed a handful but I never heard back. Did he leave thecountry chanel bags outlet or something?”
     “Why would you ask that?” said Milo.
     “The places we book,” she said. “In the movies they always have bad guysrunning to Brazil.Everyone thinks there’s no extradition treaty. Trust me, anywhere without atreaty you wouldn’t want to vacation.”
     “I’ll bet. Anything else you want to tell us about him?”
     “Can’t think of any.”
     “Okay, thanks.” He leaned over chanel bags outlet her desk. “We’d appreciate it if you didn’tmention we were here asking about him.”

     “Another misdirection,” I said as we descended the stairs. “Wanting us tothink Nora traveled with Meserve. Either because he’s protecting her chanel bags or he madeher and Meserve disappear. I’m betting on door number two.”
     “All these years he takes care of a coupla mopes who just happen to bemembers of the Lucky Sperm Club. Why change all that now?”
     “Nora had always deferred to him. Maybe that changed.”
     “Meserve shows up,” he said.
     “And captures her affections,” I said. “Another self-styled discount oakley sunglasses player,good-looking, ambitious, manipulative. Younger than Brad, but not unlike him.Could be that’s what attracted Nora to him in the first place. Whatever thereason, she wasn’t giving him up the way she had the others.”
     “Meserve worms his way into her affections and her pocketbook.”
