Chapter 20

That afternoon, Eddie called Diego from his car. “Have your friend Federico get the word to Simon Cooper one of us will be outside the gate tomorrow at noon to pick him up.”

“Will do, boss. Must mean Jordan signed the permission slip.”

“Smart ass.”

“While I got you ….” Diego’s voice was barely audible above the typical North Scottsdale static. “Guy called me from a pawn shop over by Metro Center. Says he thinks his boss may have some of the Dahlonega coins.”

Eddie thought he heard right. “Did you say some of the Dahlonega coins have surfaced?”

“Yeah,” he said. Then he broke up again.

“Damn, I can’t hear you. Give me a few minutes to get past the hills, Diego. I’ll call you back.”

Eddie exited the freeway and pulled into the parking lot of the Bowl-a-rama, parking between two school buses.

He keyed in Diego’s cell. “Tell me. Who is this guy?”

Two kids, thirteen or so, moseyed out of the bowling alley past one of the buses and began to circle the Boxster.

Eddie kept an eye on them as Diego began, “He’s just some guy who heard we’re looking for the museum loot and offering a reward. He says the owner met with someone who had a couple of these odd-looking old coins as samples for potential buyers. Said he’s pretty sure they’re what we’re looking for.”

One of the boys was taking an interest in Eddie’s custom wheels. He leaned down close—too close. As the kid lifted his hand, Eddie said, “Hang on a sec.”

He pushed a button on his key fob and activated the alarm just as the kid’s fingers made contact.

The deep robotic voice of the Rattler alarm growled, “Step away from the vehicle.”

Both boys jumped back, slammed against the school bus, and ran off into the bowling alley.

Behind his tinted windows, Eddie smiled and went back to Diego. “Text me the info. I’ll call Tank, and we’ll go down and have a little talk with the nice man.”
