ROSCOE WAS AT HER DESK, TALKING ON THE PHONE. SHE waved. Looked excited. Held her hand up to tell me to wait. I watched the door to the rosewood office. Hoped Teale wouldnât come out before she finished her call.
He came out just as she hung up. He was all red in the face. Looked mad. Started stamping around the squad room, banging his heavy stick on the floor. Glaring up at the big empty bulletin board. Finlay stuck his head out of the office and nodded me in. I shrugged at Roscoe and went to see what Finlay had to say.
âWhat was that all about?â I asked him.
He laughed.
âI was winding him up,â he said. âHe asked what weâd been doing, looking at a car. I said we werenât. Said weâd told Baker we werenât going far, but heâd misheard it as weâre looking at a car.â
âTake care, Finlay,â I said. âTheyâre killing people. This is a big deal.â
He shrugged.
âItâs driving me crazy,â he said. âGot to have some fun, right?â
Heâd survived twenty years in Boston. He might survive this.
âWhatâs happening with Picard?â I asked him. âYou heard from him?â
âNothing,â he said. âJust standing by.â
âNo possibility he might have put a couple of guys on surveillance?â I said.
Finlay shook his head. Looked definite about it.
âNo way,â he said. âNot without telling me first. Why?â
âThereâs a couple of guys watching this place,â I said. âGot here about ten minutes ago. Plain brown sedan. They were at Hubbleâs yesterday and around town this morning, asking after me.â
He shook his head again.
âTheyâre not Picardâs,â he said. âHeâd have told me.â
Roscoe came in and shut the door. Held it shut with her hand like Teale might try to burst in after her.
âI called Detroit,â she said. âIt was a Pontiac. Delivered four months ago. Big fleet order for a rental company. DMV is tracing the registration. I told them to get back to Picard up in Atlanta. The rental people might be able to give him the story about where it was rented. We might be getting somewhere.â
I felt I was getting closer to Joe. Like I was hearing a faint echo.
âGreat,â I said to her. âGood work, Roscoe. Iâm out of here. Meet you back here at six. You two stick close together, OK? Watch your backs.â
âWhere are you going?â Finlay said.
âIâm going for a drive in the country,â I said.
I left them there in the office and walked back to the entrance. Pushed the door open and stepped outside. Scanned north up the road. The plain sedan was still there, seventy-five yards away. The two guys were still in it. Still watching. I walked over to the Bentley. Unlocked the door and got in. Nosed out of the parking lot and pulled out onto the county road. Wide and slow. Drove slowly past the two guys and carried on north. In the mirror I saw the plain sedan start up. Saw it pull out and turn in the road. It accelerated north and fell in behind me.
