Chapter Thirteen

“I’m with law enforcement now, so I’m going to put you on speaker,” Kyle said. “Tell me what’s going on.”

“I sent my family away in our RV, and just to make sure they left town okay, I decided to follow them for a while,” Joe said. “That’s when I spotted a dark blue van keeping pace with them. I came up behind it, then passed, letting the driver see me at the wheel. When I turned off, the van followed me instead of my family. It looks like I’m the target, not them.”

“The van’s still following you?” Kyle asked.

“Yeah,” Joe answered, giving them his current location.

“So let’s put the squeeze on them,” Preston said, reaching for his car keys.

“Got that, Joe?” Kyle added.

“Copy. They follow me, and you find a way to trap the van between us. I’m in,” Joe replied.

“Okay, keep moving and work your way toward the west side of town if you can. Try to stay on streets with enough traffic so they can’t risk forcing you over,” Kyle said, gesturing to Erin to follow him as he brought out his SUV keys. Daniel and Preston were already heading toward the door.

“Once we’re en route, update me on your location and we’ll set up a pattern so we can close in,” Kyle said.

Three minutes later, connected via phones or radio, they were headed east toward the city, which was only a few miles away. Joe was trying to buy time by making sure he caught all the traffic lights.

“Where you at now, Joe?” Kyle said as they reached the business area of Main Street. Beside him, Erin tracked their movements on the GPS display. Although both of them were familiar with the city’s layout, he’d been gone for months. She was more likely to know of any recent road work or changes in traffic patterns.

Joe’s voice was louder than normal, but to Kyle, it sounded more like the result of a rush of adrenalin rather than fear. “I’m going west past Orchard, but if I go much farther, it intersects with Melrose, and there’ll be no side roads for your people to close in.”

“He could take a left onto Fourteenth Street,” Erin suggested, pointing to the map on the screen.

“Good idea,” Kyle said. “Go with it, Joe, and stay in the left-hand lane, like you’re looking for a particular street,” Kyle said. “Copy?”

“Copy that,” Joe replied.

“Preston, Daniel, you copy?” Kyle snapped.

“Copy,” Preston responded crisply. “I can approach from Hilton, reach Fourteenth ahead of Joe, then take the lead.”

Daniel joined in. “I’m only a block behind Preston. “I’ll wait until Joe’s vehicle passes, and cut in between him and the van. Hopefully, the van isn’t following too close.”

“It’s keeping its distance, about a block and a half behind me,” Joe said. “There’s a stop sign at the intersection ahead, correct?”

Kyle looked over at Erin, who glanced away from the GPS and nodded.

“Correct,” Kyle affirmed. “I’ll be coming up behind the van.”

Before long, Kyle spotted the suspect’s vehicle and slowed, keeping pace.
