Brandon hung up the phone. “No answer, and the voice mail was automated and full. It’s possible he gave the pharmacy a number that’s not his primary number. I don’t understand how that’s a problem when most people own a cell, but it happens too often.”

David sighed and wrote down another note. After more than half an hour of running searches in the computer and making calls, Brandon struggled to hide his mounting fury from the inspector. What had Dad been thinking? Did he actually make up five prescriptions and give them to this man Sam Miller? It didn’t sound like something his dad would’ve done in previous years, but it seemed that he was more willing to bend the rules when it came to his Amish patients. Did the desire to help the Amish combined with the possible mental effects of the impending stroke impede his judgment?

David clicked his pen and closed the folder. “Let’s check on your dad.”

Brandon went to the door of the storage room and tapped before opening it. Holly was on the floor with a large stack of printouts in her lap, and his dad was on a stool beside her.

After David entered, Brandon closed the door. “Any hard copies of the scripts?”

Holly’s shoulders slumped. “No. We’ve looked through all of October three times, and we found nothing for a Sam Miller. You?”

Brandon shrugged. “Sort of. I found three Sam Millers in the system. Long story short, one of them came in Sunday, October fifteenth, so he’s our guy. We tried the number we had on the computer for him, but no one answered, and the voice mail is full. I think he may have listed some number other than his cell phone.”

David wrote down another note. “Okay, here’s the deal. Because of the number of scripts and the consequences Greene’s could face, it would’ve been ideal to find the hard copies. But if you can’t come up with those, you must have proof of the scripts’ validity in another way. Brandon said he would review the security footage to see if he could tell what happened to the hard copies. Hopefully, you can reach Sam Miller to find out the name of the doctor who prescribed the medicines. I feel it can be done. Apparently it’ll take some time. The next board meeting isn’t until December eighteenth because we aren’t meeting in November, due to Thanksgiving. That gives you six weeks to find proof of the legitimacy of the scripts. Look in every corner of the store, under every desk, in every nook where small papers could’ve slid. Look slowly at each encounter on the security footage, searching for what may have happened. And let me know if there is anything I can do to help.” He offered his hand to Lyle.

Lyle stood and shook it. “Take care, David. Can I walk you out?”

“No need.” The inspector smiled and gave a small wave as he exited the cramped storage room.

Dad sank onto the stool, looking worn-out.
