“What time is it?” Bear asked wearily.
“Just after eight,” Reed replied.
“Okay, but we may have to make a quick stop at the mall. Do you know what time they close?”
Reed chuckled. “Of course I do. You lock yourself up there in your ivory tower all day and never see regular folks. I deal with waiters, dishwashers, cooks, maids, in addition to the membership. The stores are running back to school sales. They will be open until eleven.”
