“Before you ask,” Merrill says, “I wasn’t the one who snatched him.”

The two of us are standing together away from the others. Francine has gone home. Reggie is talking to Michelle, who has finished processing the car. Over near the deputy’s car to the north a couple of reporters have gathered, including Merrick McKnight, Reggie’s ex.

“Wasn’t going to ask,” I say.

“I’m just sayin’ you share the video with me, I say I’m gonna look into it, prime suspect goes missing. Ain’t like it’s something I wouldn’t do. Sweet gig too, to then be hired by his mom to find him.”

I nod.

“But you weren’t gonna ask,” he says.

“I wasn’t,” I say. “Not sayin’ you wouldn’t do it—especially now that you’re about to be a father yourself, but . . . under the circumstances . . . I know you wouldn’t do it without telling me.”

“Who then?” he asks.

“I think Reggie’s right about him being a threat to his suppliers or their suppliers,” I say. “But if it’s not that then I’d say it’s most likely a relative or friend of Olivia or Ava.”

“That’s who I’m starting with,” he says.

“Me too.”
