Chapter Thirty-Six

The sight of Rye and her overgrown beast frolicking in the street like a couple of schoolchildren rested at the front of Clarence Koob’s mind. Working his mouth up and down, he tried to push it aside, but like a bad taste that refused to subside, there was to be no removing it.

The display had blatantly been aimed at him, a show put on because she knew he would be nearby and she wanted him to know she was out and that her guard dog was by her side.

The move of having her leave the police station with the detective that arrested her was a curious one, for sure, flying directly in the face of what Koob suspected of her. His every thought prior to that was that she would have extricated herself as quickly as possible, refusing to stoop to the level of working with the locals.

Especially in a matter he knew was as grating to her as it was to him.

Koob would have given anything to have been present inside that station, to hear the story she must have spun, the promises she had to have made.

It’s not every day someone can kill a person in the middle of the street and have the officer that nabbed them return them to their vehicle that very evening.

Realizing that, Koob had left Hirsch on guard detail, letting the fleeting image of Rye and her pet play across his mind as he pushed beyond the edge of town, a fresh update in hand.

Working his way through the side streets, he watched as local bank branches and fast food establishments faded by the wayside, the same for gas stations a bit beyond that. Without the neon glow of their assorted signage, the world seemed much darker, a starless sky providing zero illumination as he drove.

Precisely the type of evening he liked, the kind that made it easier for someone in his line of work to operate.

Eighteen minutes after leaving his post down the street from Rye’s vehicle, Koob pulled up before a wooden gate, a head-high brick wall pushing in tight from either direction. Using the automated clicker in the middle console, he aimed it at the front, waiting as the carved design parted in the middle, revealing a sprawling home on the opposite side.

The estate was the height of opulence, the very definition of unnecessary, the sort of thing that Koob had grown up hating, still harbored a healthy disdain for.

With just one man living inside, there was no call for the extreme accommodations, Gerard much more concerned with the appearance than the functionality.

Much the way he insisted on coming over and renting the place, on being present when the woman that had mutilated and killed his son was finally put down.

If the man had any sense, he would have sent Koob alone, would have given him ample resources and told him to call when it was completed.

Instead, he was working under tight strictures, none more so than the fact that multiple times a day he had to step away to brief the old man in person.
