Chapter 42

That feeling of fate and inevitability was with him again as he drove this rural road past isolated homes and abandoned farms. Carefully observing the posted limits, he almost felt the Ford was driving itself, or maybe he and the car had been picked up and carried by forces that have worked out all the details well in advance.

This thought plus a glance at his watch moved him to snap on the radio in time for local news on the hour. Nothing about a kidnapping or a missing girl. But then it was hardly an hour since he had picked up Megan. Nearing the gate to the cheese factory property, he slowed the Ford and watched carefully for the turnoff. When it came, he moved off the road, stopped in front of the gate and got out to unlock and open it. He had all his keys, each memorized now, on a ring and retractable wire device on his belt.

With the gate open he drove through, then stopped to close and lock it behind before moving up the overgrown dirt road, weeds and bushes brushing both sides of the car. He parked close to the building in a spot where he knew the Ford could not be seen from the highway. At the office door, its window boarded now, he unlocked and opened it, then moved back to the car, unlocked and lifted the trunk lid.

Megan, blindfolded, hands tied behind her back with clothesline, looked pathetic on the pillow and blanket he had placed in the trunk to make the ride a little more comfortable. Reminding himself to strip sympathy from his feelings, he asked sternly, “You okay?”

Megan pursed her lips but said nothing.

“Well, we’re here.”

“Where?”

“You’ll see.” He took her arm and moved her to her knees, saying, “I’ll help you out.” Then with considerable effort he got her out of the trunk. Once inside the factory office, he closed and locked the door with a new padlock and moved Megan to a chair in front of the nearest desk.

“Okay, relax,” he said. “I’ll take this off.”

He removed the blindfold, and Megan, blinking, looked around the office. As she did, he did the same, satisfied that in cleaning it up, boarding its windows and putting heavy new padlocks on all the doors, he had also stripped the room of all identifying signs.

“Now if you don’t cause trouble, I’ll untie your hands in a few minutes.”

To his surprise and dismay the girl began to cry. Between sobs and sounding deeply frightened, she said, “What are you gonna do to me?”

“Don’t cry.” His words were quick and harsh. “I’m not going to do anything to you. You’ll be perfectly safe here. No one’s going to touch you.”

She continued weeping. “Yes, you are. I can tell.”

“No, I’m not going to touch you.” He spoke with heat and resentment. “I’m not some pervert who likes to feel up little girls. I’m just going to keep you here, safe and sound, until I’ve accomplished what I need to do.
