“You think that guy’s the father of Lorelei’s children?” Noah asked as he pulled out of Vincent Buckley’s long driveway and back toward Denton.

“I don’t know,” Josie said. She tucked a brown evidence bag holding one of her business cards with Buckley’s prints on it into the glove compartment. She’d have Hummel process the card when they got back, see if any of his prints matched up to those found in Lorelei’s house. “It seems like he would have confessed that. He told us every other damn thing, including that he made a pass at Lorelei.”

“All the stuff he told us means nothing now,” Noah said. “Not if he’s stopped practicing medicine. But if Rory and Emily are his children, that makes things a lot more complicated for him.”

“True,” Josie said. “But he screwed Lorelei over. He actively blocked her attempts to help a patient, and people died because of it. Then he let her lose her license and her career. I don’t know if that’s something any woman would be able to forgive—not enough to have three kids with him. Anyway, right now we need to focus on finding Rory. Can you drop me off at the hospital? My car is there. I’m going to drive over to Lorelei’s house and see if I can find anything that belonged to Rory.”

“While you do that,” Noah said, “I’m going to see if I can find a birth certificate for Rory Mitchell and draw up a warrant for any medical records. I know Lorelei kept him a secret, but she had to give birth to him somewhere. I know a lot of women give birth at home, but she had both of his sisters at Denton Memorial so maybe he was born there, too. If he was, his blood type will be on file. Also, I’ll see if I can get the Sheriff to send Deputy Sandoval and her dog Rini over to you. Using the dog would probably be the fastest way to find this kid if he is out in the woods.”

“Update the team,” Josie said. “We’ll need bodies out there with the K-9 unit. It’s a lot of area to search, and if this kid is as violent as Buckley claims, it might be better to have some back-up.”

“Remember when we were talking with Pax and he said something like, ‘my dad doesn’t even know.’ He meant his dad didn’t know about Rory, didn’t he?”

“I think so,” Josie said. “If Reed is telling the truth and he was only at Lorelei’s house a couple of times just to get Pax, it’s possible he never met Rory. But Pax also said his dad was lying, too. I’m just wondering what he was lying about, and it if has any bearing on this case.”

“You mean you think Reed was involved?”

“I don’t know,” Josie said. “Buckley made it sound so simple. Lorelei has a teenage son she’s kept from people for years because he has violent outbursts. This time things went too far.
