Chapter Sixteen

Detective Griesel

The detectives were just leaving the home of Mr. and Mrs. Rapp, quietly conversing about the new knowledge they’d gained, when a silver Ford Focus came speeding down the street. The two men looked to each other then back to watch where the vehicle went. They hurriedly made their way to the middle of the street. The Focus pulled into the driveway of Minges and zipped quickly into the awaiting garage. The door was closing even before the tail was all the way over the threshold.

“Let’s go.” Griesel tugged on Desmond’s sleeve.

The two men took off in a run, the older out of breath before the younger. “How do you want to handle this?” Des called out to his superior.

“Let’s play it cool.”

“Then why are we running?”

Griesel slowed then stopped completely and put his hands on his knees. “I need to work out more.” He huffed a breath in and out. Once he slowed his heart rate, he stood. “We probably shouldn’t have been running. I don’t know why I took off like that.”

“Didn’t want to take any chances.”

“Rookie mistake. If he saw us, he probably went into hiding.”

“We know he’s home. If he’s hiding then we know he’s guilty.”

Griesel shrugged. “Maybe, maybe not.” The two continued walking at a quick pace, but not a jog. As they approached the home in question, Griesel pointed out the drag marks and the broken plants.

Des took it all in but before he spoke, he looked back to where the body was found earlier that morning. “It’s a bit of a distance from the blood. If he was shot there, wouldn’t we see blood? Wouldn’t the drag marks be covered in red?”

“I don’t think he was shot here. I just think there was a scuffle. He was drug into the street, up the road a bit to keep the heat off of themselves and then shot for good measure. Maybe something more happened once Trevor came to. Peter Minges chased him up the street and once he caught up to him, decided to shoot.”

“Maybe Minges was the one who broke his nose?”

“Possibly. Makes sense.”

“What if our vic had something on the guy? Maybe that’s the motive?”

Two female voices carried through a cool breeze as the men reached the porch of the Minges home. They both turned. “Of course,” Des commented.

“I’m here. You go there.” Griesel wanted to talk to both but if this was their only chance, they would need to split up.

“Got it, boss.” With a nod, Des was off.

Griesel gave a forceful knock on the door in front of him before ringing the bell. He put his ear closer to listen for sounds from inside. No noise came. And no one came to answer the call either. Griesel repeated the knocking and the bell ringing, this time with a yell of the man’s name for good measure. “Mr. Minges? I just want to ask you a few more questions. Mr. Minges?”

Loud thuds came from just inside the door that got closer before they trailed off.
