transference.
    Maybe her crotch-rocket cowboy wasn’t as smoking as she’d thought.
    “I don’t know where to find him,” Ava replied. There was probably a gathering somewhere in the Badlands, maybe even in the same location as last night. There wouldn’t be a race tonight, though. It was too late to organize one. Weasel rarely organized two races back to back— too risky, too much heat from the cops. RCPD was aware that street racing was a problem in their town but so far had been unable to do anything about it. Ava wasn’t sure where to find a racer when there wasn’t a race.
    Sienna gazed out at the cross street in front of them. “Well, there’s the bar,” she finally said quietly.
    Ava glanced at her.
    “Maria’s, on the other side of town,” Sienna clarified and ducked her head away to avoid Ava’s sharp look. The heavy silence finally made her turn back. “What?!” she cried and threw up her hands. “It’s a biker bar! Bikers hang out there! You’re looking for a biker. It’s not out of the realm of possibility.”
    Ava raised an eyebrow at her best friend. “It’s also not out of the realm of possibility that Jonah’s headed there now.”
    Sienna blushed but didn’t reply.
    “Stalking’s illegal in South Dakota,” Ava pointed out. She was trying to keep it light but this thing with Jonah had stalled. As far as Ava knew, Sienna and Jonah had kissed once. Ava didn’t want to talk about it. Picturing her brother making out wasn’t high on her list of leisurely pastimes. Thankfully, Sienna never wanted to talk about it, either, but apparently she hadn’t let it go.
    Sienna leaned forward and pressed her forehead to the steering wheel. “I wasn’t stalking.”
    “Sure you weren’t.”
    “I wasn’t!” Sienna insisted without lifting her head. “I was out driving. He was out driving. I saw him... the car turned on its own.”
    Ava snorted.
    “I just wanted to know.”
    It was difficult not to sympathize. Sienna was awesome, as far as Ava was concerned. And as long as nobody offered up any details, Ava was perfectly happy for her BFF to date her brother. Unfortunately, Jonah wasn’t as enthusiastic.
    “He’s not seeing anyone,” Ava told Sienna. It was a small comfort, to be sure, but it was something. “At least, not that I’ve ever seen.”
    Sienna lifted her head wearily. “So, why not me?”
    Ava clucked her tongue trying to come up with a reply. In the end, she merely shrugged. “We don’t have to go there. If Jonah saw us anyway, we’d probably be toast.”
    “You think he’d tell Adam?”
    Ava shrugged again. It was impossible to predict what Jonah Stark would do on any given day. He and Ava might share a last name but the similarities ended there. “Maybe, maybe not.”
    Sienna reached for the ignition and twisted the key. “We can just drive by.”
    “Sienna...”
    “We can drive by,” she argued. “There’s no law against it. Your biker might be there.”
    “And if he is, we’re going to sneak inside? Surrounded by bikers and ex-military and roughneck cowboys?” This didn’t exactly seem like their scene, especially not Sienna’s. Ava grinned at her relatively-timid friend. “Then what?”
    Her teasing didn’t go over as well as she hoped. Sienna shook out her shoulder length brown hair and squared her shoulders. Her expression turned a startling mix of stern and angry. “You know what? I don’t know, Ava. Because I don’t know what happens when you come face-to-face with a guy you like who really likes you, too. But you’re going to find out. One of us should.”
    She slammed the Oldsmobile’s shifter into Drive and stepped on the gas. The tires spun for a moment, kicking up gravel from the tiny parking lot. Sienna managed to recover as the ancient vehicle rocketed forward.
    Ava grabbed the door handle. “Easy there, Speed Racer,” she cautioned with a laugh.
    Sienna smiled, too, and Ava was relieved. “Maybe you should drive.”
    “Maybe I
