41 deadtime

. . " not gaydar , ' he 'd told the girls ." i'm no better at that than anyone else ." he adopted his best  sixth sense whisper . " but i can see people hiding in closets ."
 jacj tucked away his camera and in seconds had a pencil and notepad ready for nick's phone info .
  eric was tired of waiting  for nick to move on . he had wanted to begin the hike out by there  in the norning to avoid the scorching heat  near the rim after the sun was high in the sky , but jules and camel were adamant about not hiking in thhe dark . he stepped forward  and lifted jules's pack , holding it up to her so that  she could slip it on . his gesture was made  more out of exasperation than kindness  . she hesitated before she extended  her left arm and lowered  her shoulder .
" you didn't see her ? jaana ?" jules  whispered to her boyfriend ." i couldn't hear what you said  before ."
"no , he said ." let's go . we should be halfway up by now ."
"sure ?"
" i said i didn't ."
 she cinched the backpack straps tight and buckled the belt while the other hikers began to march past nick in single file on the way to trailhead .
jack repeated his assurance that she was probably asleep in another cabin . that nick should go check .
once the entire file had passed , the shirtless man stuck his hands into the pockets  of his shabby jeans and shuffled off toward another cabin that was just beginning to show signs of morning life .
 his plan was to ask those people if any of them had seen jaana .
