Eileen had been a great source of information, but we couldn't take up her entire afternoon. We thanked her and headed up another floor to find a single massive room where the jumble of droning voices filled the air like discordant music. "It's some kind of call center," I whispered. Aodhagan had likely already figured that one out, but still.

We decided that that it was pointless to try to get information from the staff, as the only ones who were not moving were on the phones. All the other employees were in constant motion. No one here was going to want to take a minute to talk to us, and the one thing I knew from interviewing witnesses for books was that if someone didn't want to talk to you, the information you got just wouldn't be as good.

We headed to the sixth floor. A tiny sign like the others told me this was Logistics and Distribution. In other words, the people who organized the tremendous amount of shipping that had to go into a business as big as Crowe. They didn't ship things from this building, but someone had to manage all of it from some other location. There were likely trucks, planes, trains, mail, all sorts of grinding gears to organize. I couldn't imagine what Logistics might have to tell us, but they were the closest to the seventh floor and the golden Mecca, so it was worth checking. It was quiet inside, but we could hear the buzz of voices and followed it until we could see a large staff meeting occurring behind large windows. The rest of the place was empty. We wouldn't gain anything by interrupting them. They'd just be annoyed and not forthcoming.

We headed back to the elevator and hit the top floor button. The heart of the business. The floor where the Crowe crew spent their time when they weren't destroying my house. It was ridiculously quiet when the elevator doors snicked open. Even the hallways were carpeted, though the other levels had all been hardwood. It was white shag. I assumed that Vi was responsible for that monstrosity, though she didn't seem like the warmth type. Unlike the other levels, the walls were decorated with large pictures of classic Cadillacs. I pointed to the closest one.

"I think we can guess why he was in your car."

Aodhagan nodded. "He probably couldn't resist."

The hallways divided into offices, each one with a gold sign beside the door. They were all there. Robert, Vi, and Carl Crowe were closest to us on the left side of the hall. Carl, Jackson, Daisy, Glen, James, and Leslie had offices on the right side of hall. Faith didn't have one. As far as I was aware, Vi didn't even actually work for Crowe Appliances. But she had an office, and Faith, who did work for her father, didn't.

A receptionist with exceedingly shiny and smooth black hair sat behind a kidney-shaped desk directly ahead of us, looking carefully uninterested in why we were there.
