Chapter 13

Judas hid the squad car behind a clump of bushes and just waited for J.D. to come out of Charolette’s house. Laney’s little green car was parked in front, and there was no doubt the girl was inside.

“I’ll just go in and get her,” said Laney putting her hand on the door handle, not sure what Judas would do when J.D. came out, and not sure she wanted to find out.

“No.” Judas’s hand shot out and gripped her wrist. “This is a stakeout and we’re never going to get our answers if we go up banging on the door and announcing our presence.”

“Fine,” she said, settling back down in the seat next to him.

Static came over the radio on his shoulder and then the voice of Watt, his deputy.

“Sheriff Taylor, I spotted the McGill brothers that Charolette and J.D. were with last night. Should I move in and question them?”

“Not yet,” said Judas into the radio. “Just keep an eye on them and let me know if they leave town or do anything suspicious.”

“Ten-four.”

“You really think J.D. had something to do with stealing those goats, don’t you?” Laney asked him.

“And you don’t?” He looked over to her and made a face and just shook his head.

“Unfortunately, I do,” she said with a sad nod. “This morning she had that smug look on her face that told me she was up to mischief. And when she denied the whole thing she didn’t sound very convincing, did she?”

“Not at all,” he said. “So tell me, why do you think she’d even attempt such a lame trick? Just out of boredom?”

“No. When she’s bored she eats or smokes.”

“Really.”

She looked over to see Judas lighting up a cigarette. “That’s right,” she said with a nod of her head. “She said she also does it when she’s upset as it seems to calm her down.”

“That’s stupid,” he said, reaching down into a pile of junk on the floor by her feet and picking up a bag of spicy chips. He ripped it open with his teeth and then held the bag out to her. “Care for one, now that you like them?”

“No,” she said with a wave of her hand. “And just because I said they were good on the breakfast sandwich doesn’t mean I actually like them.”

“Here she is,” he said, putting out his cigarette in the ashtray and tossing the package of chips onto the seat. He talked into his radio again, letting his deputy know what was going on. Then he started up the engine and waited while J.D. got into the car with Charolette.

Laney observed that Charolette was about the same age as J.D. and had lots of tattoos and piercings as well. But her hair was black and spiky and stood straight up in the middle and was cut short around the bottom. She wore a mini skirt and tall boots up to her knees and a thin tank top without a back. When she bent over to get into the car, Laney could see down her top and up her skirt.
