Nancy went back to the office to set up the phone tap. I stayed and dusted for prints. There were none. None, as in not any. The window had been completely wiped down. I got in my truck and headed home for a shower thinking that this was not going to end well.

Chapter 14

It took Nancy about forty minutes to set up the tap with the telephone company and she was finished by the time I showed up at the station. Now she could log in to her computer or iPhone and trace the call in real time. We could also listen in and record the call. If the phone used to call Noylene was on a land line, and if an address was attached to it, the trace was easy and she'd have the address in short order. If the phone was a mobile and had a GPS chip, she could get an exact fix on the location, then follow it if it moved.

"Do you want Dave to go babysit the Faberge-Dupont-McTavishes?" she asked. "I called him and he's coming in, but he could just as easily go on up to Quail Ridge."

"I don't think it'd do any good, and probably just make them nervous," I answered. "I'll drive up and check on them around noon and see how they're doing with those serial numbers."

"You think this is connected to Johnny Talltrees? It'd be a heck of a coincidence if it wasn't."

"Yeah," I answered. "We operate under the assumption that there are no coincidences. But right now we have to concentrate our efforts on getting the boy back safely."

"I agree," said Nancy.

Meg opened the door to the station and walked in. She looked worried.

"What's the news?" she asked.

"No news," I said. "All we have is the ransom note. No prints, no identifying marks, no bad grammar, nothing. The kidnappers say they're going to call this afternoon with instructions."

"Oh, I hope he's okay," Meg said.

"I'll bet he's fine," said Nancy, taking the note from my hand and reading it again.
