Chapter Thirty-Two

It was by nothing but pure dumb luck that Notch spotted Drake coming out of the law school.

Two days of searching had turned up nothing of Beth. Or the girl he'd beaten the hell out of.

Nobody at all had been to their house. No activity to Beth's cell-phone.

Even a trip through the bunkhouse and scaring the hell out of every girl in sight had turned up nothing. Nobody knew anything.

It was like the both of them had just vanished.

That left Notch with one option. Try and determine who it was Beth met with on Thursday. It was slow and clumsy as hell, but it was all he had.

Worse for him, it meant he had to emerge from the shadows.

That morning, he'd gotten up with the sun and did his best to look presentable. Put on clean jeans. A fresh canvas shirt. Pulled his long, thin brown hair back into a ponytail. Hid his grey eyes behind mirrored sunglasses.

Even attempted to brush away some of the grime from his teeth.

He would damned sure never pass for a college student. At least this way he might not draw enough lingering stares to get him tossed off campus before he found what he was looking for.

Every thought in his head told him to take his binoculars with him. At the very least his camera with the zoom on it.

Staring at himself in the mirror though, he reasoned that showing up with either to a college campus might not be the image he was going for.

Instead, he opted for an old dog-eared Louis L'Amour. Chose a bench in the corner of the quad. Posted himself up at eight o'clock and kept a sharp lookout.

With the book open on his lap and his head tilted down, his eyes worked in constant sweeps across the grassy expanse. A couple of times he thought he saw his target, but both turned out to be false alarms.

If you've seen one inflated college student, you've seen them all.

It didn't take long for the hardback bench and the awkward position to start working on his lower back. Pretty soon thereafter his neck started to ache.

At the age of forty-two he could still put somebody in a world of pain. At the same time, all that exertion was starting to do the same to him.

Luckily, he didn't have to wait long.

Just after nine, the man he was looking for burst out of a building to his left. Made a direct line for the parking lot, walking fast and jabbering into a cell-phone.

Almost indistinguishable from a hundred other males on the quad at that time.

If not for the fervor with which he burst through the building doors, Notch would have missed him. Instead, he was on his feet and moving fast in the same direction.

His own truck was parked nearby, but he didn't have time to go for it. Had to hope to corner the guy somewhere out of sight. At the very least, get a look at what he's driving.

Notch left the book on the bench beside him.
