Gold dropped her car off at the station, and together, the detectives drove to Foley Locks’ place. The station had sent over his address, confirming the vet tech’s story about his dismissal due to employee complaints. It also coincided with the vandalism, and Bel thrummed with anticipation. She prayed this lead wasn’t another dead end.

The address led them to the outskirts of town, opposite from where Bel’s cabin and the Reale Estate were located, and it was obvious why this neighborhood was so far from town. The small homes were run down, and while they weren’t dilapidated, they didn’t possess the same charm as the rest of Bajka.

Bel parked in front of a one-story house with a yard that hadn’t been mowed in weeks. It was the least maintained home on the block, but based on Foley Locks’ record, it didn’t surprise either detective. The man was a small-time troublemaker, his actions not enough to warrant jail time, but enough to give Sheriff Griffin a headache. He was in his late twenties, but it seemed his mentality never left the college frat parties.

“Bajka Police!” Bel called as she pounded on the front door. The detectives paused, waiting for an answer, but only silence greeted them. “Bajka Police!” she shouted louder as she knocked again, but still, her voice went ignored.

“He’s currently between jobs,” Olivia said as Bel stepped off the stoop. “Where could he be?”

“Bajka Police!” Bel shrugged as they circled the house, but the homeowner never answered. She peered through each window as she walked by, the lack of shades or curtains giving her ample view into the unkept home, but Foley was nowhere in sight. Without a warrant, they could only enter the building if probable cause presented itself, but unless having dirty dishes everywhere except the sink was a sin, the detectives had nothing.

“We’ll try again, and I’ll request a deputy keep an eye out for him,” Bel said as they got back into her car. “Maybe something in his records will clue us in as to where he is. It might have a family address where he’s lying low. Or a friend’s.”

“I hope so,” Olivia said, but her hopes went unanswered. An hour later, the women had nothing to show for their work except for a pile of discarded coffee cups and chip bags.

“Wait, I have an idea.” Olivia pushed Bel out of the way and assumed control of her computer, pulling up a new internet tab. “His records were a bust, but perhaps he has a social media account.” She started searching the popular sites, and within five minutes, she found Locks’ profile. “It’s public, thank goodness. We might find something here, which is the reason mine’s private.”

“This is why I don’t have one,” Bel said, and her partner quirked an eyebrow in surprise. “I don’t need people looking at me, learning about me.”

“I’ve never worked homicide before, but after this, I may follow your lead,” Gold said. “Seeing how easy it is to snoop on someone’s life is making me—”

“Wait, go back.
