Chapter Ten

Tuesday, July 30th.

Wild Stallion Ranch. Montana.

Billy and Travis had lots of questions about the casino surveillance for me and Harlan at breakfast. “No sign of any robbers,” said Virge. “I took down the names and employee numbers of possible inside people. Everybody me and Harlan thought looked like a con.”

“You can tell at first glance, Virge?” Billy had a smirk on his face.

“Takes one to know one,” snapped Virge. He helped himself to two more eggs from the platter in the center of the table.

“Guess that’s true,” said Travis. “I can tell a cop when I’m looking at one.”

“Soon as we get to the station,” said Virge taking another slice of toast, “I’ll get Molly to run the names through the police database and see who has priors.”

“Wouldn’t hurt a bit to check those people out,” said Travis. “We might get lucky.”

“Might also be a huge waste of time,” said Billy. “I don’t see a casino hiring people with prison records. “I’m sure they vet all of their prospective employees thoroughly before hiring them.”

“Always a way,” said Virge. He took the last piece of bacon, placed it on the last piece of toast, covered it with a layer of ketchup, rolled it up and ate it.

I laughed at my brother and poked fun at him. It got my day off to a good start. “You an expert on casino hiring practices, bro?”

“Maybe I know more about it than you. When I needed money for drugs, I tried to get a job there. One of the girls got me an app and told me for sure I’d get hired. Her aunt Lizzie would put my application through, and they’d never know about my time in Juvie.”

“Huh,” said Billy. “That’s interesting, Virge.”

“Ain’t it?”

“Why didn’t you fill out the application?” I asked.

Virge shrugged. “Can’t remember, bro. Probably couldn’t find a pen.”

Sheriff’s Office. Coyote Creek.

Just like Virge said at breakfast, as soon as we got to the station, he and Molly got to work on the employee names.

“We were on surveillance last night at the Big Bear, Molly, and me and Harlan scouted out all the employees working on that shift who had an ex-con look to them. These are the ones we need run through the database to see if they have records.”

“I don’t think the casino would hire ex-cons, dear. Not with all that money lying around. Too much of a temptation.”

“Billy said the same thing, but Dad said we’d run them anyway.”

“Okay,” said Molly. “Let’s see if we can catch a live one, Virgil.” She laughed.

Virge pulled a stool up next to Molly’s desk and watched her screen. After about half an hour of doing one after the other they caught a girl.

“Got one, Harlan. Come see.”

I ran over from my desk on the other side of the squad room and Virge was writing down an address belonging to Susan Mannington. “She lives in Shelby, Billy. Your hometown.”

“Doesn’t mean I know her, Virge. Give your head a shake.”

“Harlan, keep going on the names with Molly.
