Taped to the back of the locker was a small photo of two women in their late teens.
“That’s Yolanda,” Kendra said, pointing to the tall girl on the left.
Paul nodded. “I’m guessing that’s Annie next to her. This must have been taken ten or fifteen years ago.”
Kendra edged up next to him and studied the photo. “Memories may be all Annie has to hang on to these days.”
“Do you want to wait around and see if she shows up?” he asked.
“I don’t think she’s coming back anytime soon,” Kendra said, picking up a small plastic bag on the top shelf of the locker. It held minute traces of a white, crystalized substance. “She’s either out looking for another hit or trying to raise the cash.”
“Next stop, that alley over by the bus station?”
“Yeah,” she said.
Paul’s phone rang as they reached the door. He listened for a second, then spoke. “Whoa! Slow down, Nick. I’m going to put you on speaker, then start again from the beginning. Tell me exactly what happened.”
“Okay, Mr. Grayhorse. It’s like this. A stranger came into the coffee shop while I was bussing tables. He said you weren’t home and asked me if I’d seen you around. He had a badge, but it wasn’t from the Hartley P.D. and didn’t look like the ones the federal marshals carry. When I asked him who he worked for, he said he was a cop with the Bureau of Indian Affairs,” Nick said, and scoffed. “But he was paler than me.”
“Nick’s blond,” Paul mouthed to Kendra.
“You didn’t let him think you didn’t believe him, did you?” Paul asked Nick.
“No way, I didn’t want to piss him off. I just nodded.”
“Smart move. Have you called Preston?”
“Not yet. I followed the guy outside to take a look at his license plate, but he drove off before I could get his number. He was driving a dark green pickup, not one of those generic white sedans or SUV’s, and he didn’t have government plates.”
