CHAPTER

24

Another phone call to Nelson resulted in no answer as Forster drove to the station, heightening a concern. Once she arrived, she had spoken to an officer at the front desk, who informed her that he was on police business. When Forster asked what the call was, the officer refused to tell her. Matters such as this were need-to-know only. This only made Forster more intent on speaking to the Chief, and she opted to wait.

The wait proved long. Whatever Nelson was handling, it was no small matter. Another thing that caught her attention was the massive influx of calls that she overheard coming in. Forster was by no means aware of exactly how busy the island police were on an average day, but judging by the demeanor of the officers that passed in and out, as well as the desk officers and dispatchers, something was going on that monopolized their time. A police officer came in and entered the electronically locked door, which latched shut behind him. Forster watched through the glass window as he spoke to one of the desk officers, who looked puzzled at whatever he was telling her. After he was done speaking to her, another call rang in. The call-taker took it, and quickly turned to the officer and called his attention. He gave a nod and quickly started moving out the door, passing by Forster. A transmission blared over his radio.

“We have another one by Cove Pedro.”

“Ten-four, I’m on my way over. Dispatch, please update the EPA.”

“Ten-four, Chief.”

Forster tried to appear as if she didn’t overhear, not that it would matter. The officers were occupied. Forster waited a few more minutes and finally stood up from the chair. She stepped to the window.

“I see you’re busy,” she said. “I’ll speak to him another time.” The officer replied only with a small nod, enough to inform Forster that her lie was believed. Forster returned to her vehicle, and quickly assessed her phone. She knew Cove Pedro was on the south side of the island but wasn’t familiar with the exact location.

Well, if I see flashing lights, I’ll know I’m in the right spot. She started the car and quickly steered out of the lot.
