CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX

As we drove away from Olivia Cooper's house I said, "If you don't have anything else in mind, how about we see if Windy's around. He might be able to point us in the right direction in trying to locate family or friends of this Brian Young. Maybe he has other background on Young, so we can assess just how strong a suspect he could be. Timing is very interesting, him joining the army shortly after Jessica's death."

"I like that idea. Windy seems to be a real font of information. Let's spin by and see if he's at the paper. If he's not there we'll give him a call and see if he's close."

I attempted to check my phone for any missed calls or texts, but the battery was dead. PJ had a charger in the car that would fit, but it was obvious that I was going to need to consider a new phone soon. This one just doesn't seem to hold a charge any more, even though it's only a couple of years old. Probably part of the continuous marketing strategy. Start having problems so you start to look at the new model.

We parked in front of the paper and just as we reached the door it opened in front of us. Windy looked momentarily startled and then smiled and said, "Hi, you two. Coming to see me?"

PJ replied, "We were. Do you have a few minutes?"

"I was just going to Pappy's for a late lunch, join me and we can talk."

I said, "That's probably not an option. We were in there earlier and Pappy refused to serve us."

Windy looked confused, "Refused to serve you, why on earth would he do that?"

PJ said, "He believes we're working to get Freeman Robinson released. At least that's what Chief Davies told us."

Windy scratched the top of his head, "Davies was involved in Pappy not serving you?"

PJ replied, "No. At least not that we know about. The chief told us that Pappy was telling people around town that we were working to get Freeman released, not a stay of execution, not a new trial, but released outright."

Windy exclaimed, "That couldn't happen, there's no legal precedent for him being released without a judicial process of some sort."

I said, "Of course not, but it doesn't matter, most of the time people are going to believe what they're told by the loudest voice."

Windy motioned for us to come in and said, "All right, come on in. I just put on a fresh pot of coffee to have when I returned and PJ knows where the fridge is. You two make yourselves at home. What would you like for lunch? I'll get my sandwich and your lunches to go. Pappy won't know who I'm ordering for, the hard-headed old fool."

I asked Windy what his sandwich of choice was and he said the turkey Reuben. I told him that sounded great to me. PJ opted to stick with her wrap. I pulled my wallet out, but Windy waved me off and scoffed, "Put your money away.
