Chapter 8

“So, let me get this straight,” Gil said as he cut into his fried chicken. “Tonight your plan is to head to the school and just knock on Nicholas’s window and hope that he won’t come out swinging his bat at you?”

“Do you have a better plan?” I said, leveling a look at him.

Gilley chewed thoughtfully on his food for a moment. “Nope,” he said finally. “As long as I get to stay in the van, then I’m jiggy with whatever you come up with.”

I cut my eyes to my plate, afraid Gil would see the guilty look I had plastered there. If all else failed I had an idea about how to draw out Jack, but with Steven gone I would need Gil’s help, and my plan didn’t include him sitting idly by in the van.

“If Nicholas isn’t the fountain of information that we’re hoping for, I’ve come up with a name that might be of some assistance,” Gil said, seeming to take no note of how I was avoiding his eyes.

“Oh, yeah?” I asked. “Who’s that?”

“William Skolaris,” he said smugly.

I gave Gil a quizzical look. “Who?”

“Bill Skolaris lives two blocks from here. He’s been teaching at Northelm for a whopping thirty-three years.”

“You think he might know about Hatchet Jack?”

“I’m sure of it,” Gil said.

“How can you be?”

“Because he’s the supervising editor of the school’s newspaper. Remember that article that was pulled off the Web so quickly? That man’s gotta know somethin’ ’bout somethin’.”

“Good job, Gil,” I said, patting his hand. “We’ll try to hit Nicholas up for info tonight when we go to the school for another vigil, and tomorrow we’ll drop by Skolaris’s and see if he’s willing to talk to us.”
