Rick Morgan approached the records department of the Nashville Police Department, knowing the guy working the night shift had been a friend of Buddy’s. The air was dank and thick in the basement offices, but the fluorescent light humming above was bright, leaving no shadow in any corner.

Rick knocked on the half-open door to Records and poked his head in. Sitting behind the desk was a tall, lean kid who looked fresh out of the academy. He wore blond hair short and his uniform was well starched and fit his trim body well.

“Where’s Ben?” Rick asked.

The officer stood, leaving an open magazine and a half-eaten roast beef sandwich on his desk. “He called in sick. I’m filling in. Officer Morgan, right?”

Rick smiled. “Right.”

“Can I help you, sir?”

“How’s it going down here?”

“Can’t complain.”

He’d have attempted small talk with Ben but the kid, well, he didn’t have a thing in common. Better to just cut to the chase. “I’m looking for an old file.”

“Sure, what do you want me to search?”

“Jenna Thompson. She’s about thirty and was born in the Nashville area. Your search would go back about twenty-five years because I know she left the area when she was about five.”

The kid scribbled down the name. “Anything else?”

“Just keep it to yourself. I don’t know what you’ll find, but I’d like to play the cards close until I know more.”

“Consider it done.”

“Thanks.”
