- Chapter Twelve -

Midnight caffeine infusions always seem like a good idea at the time, but somehow that rarely turns out to be the case. I’m on time to work the next day, but it’s a near thing, and my morning hygiene consists of slapping myself in the face with a wet washcloth in an attempt to both wake up and clean up at the same time. Fortunately, Matt’s on duty today and not B-Rock, so at least I don’t have to deal with passive-aggressive comments. I look fine, anyway — certainly better than I did after being hit by the car.

Although I suppose it’s hard to write someone up for looking unprofessional if the problem is that they were in a hit-and-run. I bet Edgar would have done it, though. Or at least given me a verbal warning not to let it happen again.

Matt, on the other hand, smiles with what appears to be genuine friendliness and says, “Looks like you had a late night!”

“Yeah, a little bit,” I say, then remember that this is something that at least potentially concerns him. “Oh! Uh, I think maybe one of the robbers from the other night was in here the other day? Like, scoping the place out or something. He talked to me, but I didn’t know it was him, and I don’t know what he wanted.”

Matt nods. “One of the officers called me this morning and said that you’d spoken to him. He sent me a picture in case I’d seen him hanging around or following me, but I’m glad to say that he didn’t look familiar, so I don’t think he’s out for revenge.”

Easy for you to say, I think. Some of my disbelief must show on my face, because Matt continues, “Still, he said that they’d be bringing him in today, since they’ve apparently got his prints on the gun, so it’s a good thing you spotted him. I wonder why they didn’t bring him in earlier?”

“Apparently they thought he was dead in a car wreck?”

“Shouldn’t they have dental records to confirm that sort of thing?” asks Matt.

“Huh. Yeah, I don’t know. Are teeth flammable?”

Matt laughs. “Well, I’ll be thinking about that while I’m working the grill today.”
