Chapter Sixteen

“It’s the last thing I expected,” Jake said to Rick, referring to the arrest of Wade Armstrong, who’d kidnapped Ashley Mitchum, and his implication of Wes Montgomery. “But I’m glad that Ashley is alright.”

“I hear you. It’s nice to see my brother Brian happy again, too. Now I’m going to have to sit on this job for a while, I guess. Now that he knows he’s being watched, he’s not going to do anything to get himself in trouble. Who knows if I’ll ever find Shanna,” Rick said glumly.

“Yes. I’m worried about that too. We found nothing suspicious at the house or at the marina. But that’s what we expected.” Jake sighed. “Well, the longer you’re around the guy, the more likely you are to gain his trust. I can’t believe he had a son we didn’t even know about. I’m certain he’s cut him off, so if Wade was his confidant, he’s going to want someone to replace him. Wes seems like a pretty solitary guy.”

“I’ll do what I can. I think you’re right. He does seem open to needing someone to talk to. I’ve been catching him keeping an eye on me, and he seems to be approving. It didn’t hurt that I was able to sell a few snowmobiles to the men you sent in there to buy them,” Rick said dryly.

Jake laughed suddenly. “I knew you had good instincts, but I didn’t think you’d figure it out so quickly.”

“So, there was something else that you wanted to tell me about?” Rick asked.

“There’s a handwritten notebook that was discovered at Michelle and Brian Barton’s place, which I haven’t mentioned before. That’s how I managed to recommend you for AFOSI. There’s an Air Force Colonel who’s listed in the book, who appears to be connected somehow to the trafficking. We think that the book was probably what those men were looking for that night they shot out the window of the real estate office and threatened your mom and Aaron Mitchum.”

“Now that sounds like good news,” Rick replied, relieved. “What else is in the book?”

“Names of a bunch of men and even a few women who we believe invested knowingly in reestablishing the trafficking in Crystal Rock. We were sure to broadcast that we had the notebook.”

“So, do you think our parents are out of danger, then?”

“Most likely,” Jake replied. “The only problem is that we believe there might be two more books out there. To eliminate potential trouble, we laid claim to having all three. We’ll continue to provide security to everyone involved and see how it goes.”

“Good. That’s a relief.”

“I’ll let you go,” Jake said. “Check in with me again tomorrow.”

“I will,” Rick said, disconnecting his cell phone and switching it off. He had a couple hiding places here in the house, and it was a good thing he did, because he knew instinctively that someone had been in the house here in Rice Lake a few days after he’d moved in. There were some
