Unsure if any of them were telling the truth, Sam took all four of the guys to the local police department. It was there that he got to witness first-hand the pressure the officers were under. The office was busy with numerous people being processed and booked into cells. He’d mentioned to the officer at the front desk that he wanted to speak to Chief Sanchez before he left. Like many others who were there to voice their concerns, file a complaint or try to get updates on those incarcerated, they were told to wait in line.

“I think we should come back,” Anna said.

“Yeah, I second that,” Eric said, gazing around at the crowd that filled the lobby. Many were waiting outside because there wasn’t enough room. They’d had to elbow their way inside. Several people cursed at them and accused them of jumping the line. Sam sighed and nodded. They headed out and returned to Richard’s home to assist in clearing up the house and securing it. The last thing Sam wanted was Richard staying with them. For a short while he even entertained the thought that the whole break-in was just something he’d concocted as a way to not be alone. He didn’t dwell on it, instead he spent the next hour assisting Richard in bringing furniture back into the house while Anna gathered together paperwork that was scattered all over the home.

Outside in the yard, they had to work under the glow of the moon as the generator has been stolen. As he was turning over a recliner chair, he stopped and looked out into the woods.

“It doesn’t make sense.”

“What doesn’t?” Eric asked, not even looking at him.

“Well you break into a home because you want to steal something.”

“Nah, they wanted to send a message,” Eric replied.

“But still, you’re there and the place was loaded with food. The only thing they took was a generator.”

“Everyone needs one.”

“Sure but…” he trailed off. “When you saw the two figures, did they escape on foot or dirt bike?”

“On foot.”

“So who was carrying the generator?”

“What?”

“Well, how did they get the generator out of there?”

Eric stopped what he was doing and shot him a glance. “Maybe there were more than two.”

“But you only saw two.”

“And I said there could have been more.”

Sam nodded. “You see a generator in the cemetery?”

“Nope.”

“Those things aren’t light. The one Richard had was a good size. It would have taken at least two people to haul it out of here.”

“Maybe they drove and left before the others did.”

“Or maybe they weren’t the ones responsible, just as they weren’t responsible for stealing gasoline from Gene Landers.”

Eric snorted. “You believe that?”

“They didn’t strike me as the violent kind.”

“You didn’t see what they did to his face,” Eric said. “Anyway, forget that, give me a hand.” Sam took a hold of one end of the sofa chair and he took the other and they shuffled it over to where the window once was. They tossed it inside and returned to collect the rest.
