Tony found a taxi and hunkered down low in the backseat. The cabbie told him his destination was roughly in the middle of nowhere, a good 20-30 minutes away.
“What’re you headed out that way for, anyway?” the driver asked.
“There’s a daycare I’m interested in checking out,” Tony told him. “I’m moving to the area soon. I hear it’s the best.”
“Right,” said the cabbie. Tony wasn’t sure if he believed him. As long as they didn’t do a 180 and return to the police station, he honestly didn’t care.
The Orchard Grove Center for Child Development was a grouping of different sized cottages with sloping red roofs. A long circular driveway connected the center to the main road and a fenced-in playground stood to one side.
