Chapter Six

“We need to go back to the police station,” Viv said.

Dale looked at her like she was crazy. “Why?”

“Hello? Organized crime. We have proof that a well-known person in the community was engaged in crime. They’re going to want this,” Viv said.

“Then let them find it. We don’t need to do their work for them.” Dale looked like he wanted to go pull some covers over his head and stay put for a few years. “I can’t believe you sent us on a wild goose chase.” He turned in his seat to glare at me. “Those guys were gonna kill us.”

“Me? You thought Macon was a lead, too. We all three thought he was a lead.”

“You’re the one tailing him. You’re the one telling him – ” He stopped, cocking his head. “Why did he think I was your husband?”

Time to redirect, I thought. “Are we really going to the police station, Viv? What makes you think Bobby’s going to listen to us now?”

“I have proof!” Viv lifted her cell phone. “I was recording the entire time. I have faces, vehicles with license plates, the whole thing.”

“None of it has anything to do with CJ Hardin, though.”

“But it’s a bargaining tool,” Viv said. “We offer to give them a nice newsworthy bust, and they give us some information on the Hardin case in return. Tit for tat. Police departments and PIs work together like this all the time. I saw it on Law and Order.”

I wasn’t sure that made any difference, but I did like the idea of having something of value to show Bobby. Plus, after he made me scared by his “witnesses turn into the best suspects” remark, I had been too freaked out to give him a hard time about the PDDL thing.

We must have looked a bit bedraggled, because he actually looked concerned when we came back to his office.

I noticed for the first time that Viv’s blouse was torn and her pants were sagging off her bony legs. Dale’s hair was all mussed, and somewhere along the way I had come across some mud, because a clump of it fell off my shoe and onto Bobby’s office floor when we sat down.

“We’ve just been out rounding up a very nice gift for you,” Viv said. She smiled smugly at him and folded her hands on top of her purse.

Bobby leaned back in his chair. “Is that so?”

Viv nodded nonchalantly. “You’re going to want this. Believe me.”

“But first,” I said. “We want an apology for the PDDL wild goose chase.”

“Holy cow, did that actually work?” Bobby laughed and clapped his hands. “That’s fantastic. Fantastic!”

I tried to shoot laser beams out of my eyes. If I could have gone back in time and spoken to my fourth-grade self, I would have strongly suggested putting dog poop in Bobby’s old Firebird instead of love notes.

“You’re going to wish in a few minutes that you had taken us more seriously. Because if you don’t start playing ball with us, you’re going to miss out on a very big, very gratifying bust.
