I spun around, scanning the street, searching for a sign, a clue. My gaze landed on the "No Parking" sign at the end of the block. I didn't see the little sign before. I cursed under my breath.

I kicked the tire iron I kept near the door and watched it roll down the concrete. I took a deep breath. Okay, now what?
