Bam

My phone buzzed right as I took my last bite of food. It was Mack. “Excuse me,” I said to the family. “I need to take this.”

“Go ahead,” Lucy said, and I walked toward the water and answered the call.

“Hey, Bam, do you have some time to talk?” Mack sounded concerned.

“Sure thing,” I answered. I suppose I should have been anticipating Mack’s call since the Dogs of Fire were babysitting Chas for me. “Everything okay with Chas? Were you able to find anything out?”

“That’s sorta why I’m calling,” Mack said. “You asked me to poke around for any information about your money.” He paused. “Good news, bad news on that. The good news is that I reached out to a contact in the FBI named Jaxon Quinn, and he knows where some of it is. The bad news is you’ll have to go through the FBI to get it as it’s now evidence in an ongoing FBI investigation.”

“Fuck me. You’ve got to be kidding me.”

“Sorry, brother, I wish I was. Apparently, Chas Chambers has been in business with some Dixie Mafia members for some time now. The FBI wants him because he’s got intimate knowledge of their accounting system and has been stealing from them… exactly like he was from you. Once Jaxon knew we had Chas it was game over. The feds came and grabbed Chas and I wasn’t about to jam up Jaxon by letting our guys stand in the way.”

“I get it,” I said. “I don’t even give a shit about the money right now I just want that prick to pay.”

“Don’t worry, brother, he will. As for getting even, let me assure you that Chas will walk with a limp for the rest of his life—a life that will likely be lived out in the witness protection, once the feds extract every piece of cheese they can from that rat. At best, he’ll live out the rest of his days in some Cleveland suburb under the name Larry Butts.”

“Thanks, man.” I chuckled. “Keep me posted.”

“Will do, but that’s not all I’m calling about,” Mack said, the concern returning to his voice. “When Jaxon was digging around for clues on the whereabouts of your money he stumbled upon your mother’s murder case. He became interested when he saw that it was unsolved, and even more so when he noticed local law enforcement had done virtually nothing to solve it.”

“What?” I asked stunned.

“He said that it looked like the case ran cold quickly and was shelved as soon as it possibly could be even though very little investigating had ever been done. He’d like to meet with you in Elwood as soon as possible to talk about the case.”

“I’m still in Seattle, Mack. I don’t even know when I’m going back to Alabama. Besides, I haven’t been back to Elwood in years.”

“Well you’d better get there… preferably by Friday. Jaxon wants to start interviewing potential witnesses right away.”

“Why would he want to do that? Why the hell would this guy care so much about my mother’s unsolved murder case? “

“No clue.
