Chapter Nine

Cy drove around the residential development in search of his brother. When he saw no signs of Jeff, he drove into the surrounding neighborhood. No one was on the sidewalks at this time of night.

Icy rain fell to land on his windshield. He turned on the wipers and the defroster. If Jeff was running around somewhere in this kind of weather, he needed to find him very soon.

He pulled into the parking lot of a shopping center about half a mile from the residential areas. The shopping center was still in the process of construction, with only a drugstore, a smoothie place, and a bar and grill restaurant. He went into the drugstore first and spoke to the woman behind the counter. “I’m looking for my teenage brother. He’s fifteen, brown hair, about five nine.” He showed her a picture on his cellphone of him and his brother that was taken last Thanksgiving.

The woman squinted at the photo. “There was a young man here about an hour ago who looked like him. He tried to buy a soda and pack of cigarettes. He left the store when I asked to see his ID.”

Cy shook his head. “Do you know where he went or what direction he was headed to?”

“No. There were customers behind him. Sorry.”

He thanked her and left the store. He went into the smoothie place. Two tables were inside but no one else was there except for the employees. They mopped down the counters and floor. The guy behind the counter gave a nod. “What can I get for you? We’re just about to close.”

Cy posed the same question to them and showed them the picture of Jeff. They said they didn’t see him, so he moved on. Only one more place to go in the shopping center, and that was the bar and grill. Outside of the shopping center, there wasn’t another business or residential area for the next eight miles. He shoved his hands into his pockets and kept his face down to prevent the freezing rain from taking little stabs at his eyes. This winter weather was too much for Georgia. No one, including his teenage brother, should be out walking in it.

The bar and grill was warm from the heating system and the extra help from the open grill and pizza oven in the back. Cy scoped the area, his eyes roving past people bundled up in sweaters at the bar with their beers and chardonnay, watching the football game on the overhead TVs. He kept looking around until he saw a familiar figure in a booth in a darkened corner of the restaurant.

“Sir, how many?” A host came to the front of the bar and grill in order to find him a seat.

“Two, but I found him in that corner over there. Excuse me.” He walked past the host and the people at the bar to get to the booth with his little brother.

Jeff sat in his little corner nursing a half full glass of what looked to be orange soda and a basket of fries drenched in ketchup.
