After leaving her safe in his motel room with the pups, he walked back out with Hershey and headed toward the vehicle parked at the other end. As he walked directly toward the guy in the driver’s seat, the guy turned on the truck engine and tried to back away. Rowan had already taken a quick photo of his license plate. He walked up to the guy, who was still trying to make a turn around so that he could pull out again, and knocked hard on the window.

The guy turned to look at him, and, at that moment, Rowan took a quick camera shot of his face. Outrage was the next expression on the man’s face. He rolled down his window. “What the hell was that for?”

“When people are following me,” Rowan said quietly, “I want to know who they are.”

“Go fuck off!” the guy said, as he shifted gears in the old black Ford and took off out of the parking lot.

Rowan quickly sent both images to Badger, with a short message saying what had happened. Badger called him a few minutes later. “Any reason to suspect he’s part of these connected events?”

“No reason to suspect he’s not,” Rowan said. “You know something shifty is going on here.”

“So was he armed this time?” Badger asked. “We did check into the cop you asked about. Can’t find any connection.”

“Okay. That’s good. And no, I didn’t see that he was armed.”

“Yeah, it’s almost comical. If this is the same guy doing all this, why is he armed one time and not the next? Why is he passively watching and following you at times and then actively taking potshots at other times? And, if you throw in the knifing of the grandmother, this guy is a walking conundrum,” Badger stated, thinking out loud, not expecting an answer. “Unless he’s just some amateur. And I’m not getting very far on information on the lawyer either.”

“Right, and I’ve heard nothing from the cops,” said Rowan. “The lawyer was definitely murdered, but we need to track down a copy of the grandmother’s will.”

“You think it all comes back to the inheritance?”

“The killer came for something at the attorney’s office. My guess is for the will of Brandi’s grandmother. So, if we can get a copy of that, we can get Brandi into the bank to see what’s in the safe deposit box.”

“Okay, I’m checking public records for filings and should have an answer for you on the will pretty quick. By the way, further checks into Hershey’s last tours and Brandi’s background come back clean. Nothing suspicious in either of their histories. At least not recently for Hershey.”

After he hung up, Rowan slowly walked back up to the motel. Then he detoured, heading over to the burger place. From the doorway, he asked if he could get a couple cups of coffee to go. The woman recognized him and nodded and then saw the dog and shouted out, “He’s welcome inside, if he can behave himself.
