Alyson met Mac after she finished school and Mac finished her internship and together they headed to Booker’s. Alyson supposed it might seem odd to a casual observer that a couple of teenagers spent so much time hanging out at the home of a retired librarian who was older than their grandparents. But Booker was smart and funny, and he seemed to really enjoy helping them with whatever mystery they were investigating at the moment. He spent a lot of time doing research, which was something they didn’t particularly want to do.

“I talked to Preston,” Alyson said as she drove along the coast road. “He’s not the father of Jessica’s baby.”

“I’m not surprised.”

“He did give me the name of someone he saw go upstairs: Derek Gordon.”

“I know him. He’s a lowlife who hangs out with a bunch of other kids just like him behind the strip mall. He was caught gambling last year and suspended for a week. And I once saw him shooting bottle rockets at stray cats. I hate to say it, but he’s definitely the type to rape an unconscious girl.”

“I’ll have to have a little talk with him tomorrow.”

“Be careful; he’s kind of a bully. Maybe you should have Trevor do it.”

“Don’t forget about my martial arts training.”

“I know. You’re a badass, but seriously, Derek is a real bully.”

“Okay, I’ll take Trevor with me when I talk to him. I also talked to Ben Turner, who directed me to Carl Langford. Seems Carl and three other guys went to the party right after they got back from their meet in Portland. It would stand to reason they still had their team shirts on, especially if they’re all as proud of them as Ben seems to be.”

“Did Carl see Jessica?”

“He said he did, but he didn’t talk to her. He said he saw her go upstairs, but he didn’t remember seeing her come down again. I’m going to try to talk to Rick, Tony, and Josh as soon as I get the chance. Maybe one of them saw something. Or even talked to Jessica that night.”
