CHAPTER 9

Jason held his stomach as he closed the bedroom door. “Man, I’m hurting. For once in my life I think I overdid it. Tell me it was worth it.”

Jeremy was sitting at the desk with a pencil and pad, trying to organize everything that had happened into some kind of logical order. He swung around and faced his brother. “We’re not going to get any help from the cops. I called every agency in the phone book, including the FBI. The sheriff’s department said they’ve never heard of the Broken Tree. The city police thought I was making a crank call. The FBI took my name but told me to have an adult call if an actual crime occurs.” Jeremy shook his head. “It’s no good. We’re in this alone until we can come up with something solid for the police to go on.” He stood and grabbed his coat from its Peg.

“Where do you think you’re going? It’s ten o’clock at night.”

“We’re going up to the office to search the files. There’s got to be a clue somewhere that can tell us why these things are happening, and we’re gonna find it if it takes all night.”

Jason moaned as he reached for his jacket. “I hope you realize what a sacrifice I’m making here.”

Jeremy stuffed his notes into his pocket. “Some sacrifice. You’ll probably be hungry again in an hour.” He opened the door and stepped into the hall just in time to see Lila disappearing into the kitchen.

Jason saw too. “Do you think she was listening?”

“I don’t know. But starting now, we better be a lot more careful.”
