Chapter Fifteen

The Truth and a Cigarette

The next morning, Dwight woke up and had a moment of clarity. For the past couple of years, Sarah had been working for a cleaning service with a bunch of other women. And women talked. One of them was bound to know where in Las Vegas she had scampered off to.

It was a long shot but it was his only lead.

For the life of him, Dwight couldn’t remember the name of the cleaning service. There were no paystubs because they’d been paying her under the table and he’d never given enough of a shit before to bother remembering it.

In the living room, Troy was asleep on the sofa. Surprise, surprise.

Dwight nudged him with his knee. “Troy, get up.”

Troy groaned and turned his back to him.

Dwight smacked the back of Troy’s head. “When I tell you to do something, you do it.”

Troy sat up and rubbed the back of his head. He swiped his hand over his mouth to catch the drool. “I’m up. Whatta ya want?”

“What’s the name of that cleaning place?”

“What cleaning place?”

“The one Sarah works at.”

“The hell if I know. She’s not back yet?”

Dwight snorted. “She ain’t comin’ back neither. Look what she left behind.” Dwight tossed the receipt on Troy’s mountain of a stomach and went off in search of the phone book.

In the Los Angeles Yellow Pages there were over 2400 listings for cleaning services. Dwight blew out a frustrated breath. This was going to be like finding a grain of salt in a bag of dope.

“Wait a damn minute,” Dwight mumbled to himself and went back into the bedroom. He dug through the clothes on the floor he’d dumped out of the dresser and finally found what he was looking for. Sarah’s work shirt with the Star City Janitorial logo printed on the front. Ha! She hadn’t taken everything with her after all. It was no wonder why she’d left the shirt behind; it was torn and bloody. No matter, the name of the business was all he needed.
