Chapter 19

Regina

Regina was being stymied by trying to find this Julian person. Anna was certainly helpful in that she told Regina where Julian probably was. However, as Anna said, it was going to be very difficult to find out exactly in which hospital he was being held.

That was a frustrating thing, to say the very least. Regina had a feeling that this guy had the keys to this entire case. Not that she thought that when she saw him that everything was going to become clear. But she certainly thought that since he was friends with Aria, maybe he would have some kind of a clue as to exactly what had happened to her.

So she decided to go ahead and call her boss, Avery, and meet with her. She remembered that Avery had told her that Christian was apparently a computer genius, and a hacker. She also remembered that apparently Aidan was working for a law firm that defended people who were involuntarily committed to a mental hospital.

She called Avery from her car. “Hey,” she said when Avery picked up. “I got a hot lead here, Julian Rodriguez. You remember me telling you about him?”

“Of course, how could I forget about that? He was a guy who lived in the barrio, and apparently had some mental issues, but he knew Aria. How are you coming along with trying to find him?”

“I’m not. Nah, scratch that. I am trying to find the guy, but he seems to be in some kind of a nut house. I don’t know where. That’s all that his old neighbor, Anna, seemed to say to me, that he apparently ran naked through the streets screaming at the top of his lungs. The next thing she knows, he’s being taken away in a police car. She assumes that he was put into a mental institution of some sort, but she doesn’t really know. I need to track this dude down. I’m like, I think this dude has some information that’s going to be breaking this case wide open. So I need to go ahead and try to find him. But I don’t even know where to begin.”

“Well, we can certainly start with all the mental institutions in the La Mesa area. Because didn’t you tell me that he had moved to La Mesa? I would imagine that probably he would’ve gone to Alvarado Hospital or maybe Sharp over on Grossmont, and then was transferred to more of a long-term care facility if he needed it. I know that there’s a few of them in that area. Maybe we can start with ones around his old apartment.”

“That’s all well and good, I mean it’s a good idea, but you know that those places are tighter than a rich bastard’s wallet. They ain’t gonna tell us crap. I mean, we can’t just be all calling them and being all, ‘hey, do you have a dude named Julian Rodriguez squatting in one of your rooms?’ They’ll be like ‘bitch, don’t be bothering me with this crap.
