FIFTEEN

Unlike the private investigators found in books, most of them spent the majority of their time either sitting and waiting or doing an awful lot of walking and searching. After five hours of looking around more than a dozen business parks scattered around the Tower Hamlets area, Sam was feeling right back at home. This was what real PI work felt like, not sitting in an office and waiting for reports from an entire team of special investigators. As much as it made his bad hip hurt, there was something about it that felt like he was finally back in the game.

“How many more on our list?” Denny asked him.

“Only three more,” Sam replied. “I didn’t really have a lot of confidence in this idea, anyway.”

“Yeah, but we never know until we try. You drive, this time.”

“You must have a death wish,” Sam said. “I’ve never driven on the wrong side of the road before.”

“First time for everything, old friend. It’s not as hard as you might think. After all, that’s what I thought when I first came to the States. All you buggers drive on the wrong side, you know.”

“I guess it depends on where you’re from. Okay, which way?”

“Turn east,” Denny said. “About three kilometers, straight ahead.”

Across the borough, Noah and his team were having the same results. They had checked out more than a hundred commercial buildings, but any that were not currently occupied turned out to be completely empty. No one was hiding inside them, and there had been no sign that anyone had been there recently.

Noah took out his radio. “Anybody having any luck?” he asked.

“None,” Jenny replied. “This is getting pretty boring, Noah.”

“No joy over here,” Marco said. “Closest I’ve come to finding our bad guy is running some kids out of an empty warehouse. They seemed to think it was their private club, they had music playing and their own little bar set up.”

“They can be glad it was you that found them, then,” Noah said, “instead of the local police. I think they get pretty serious about underage drinking in London. Sam? How about you guys?”

“Nothing, not a thing. We are on our way to Badlington Business Park, to see if we have any better luck.”

“Roger that. All right, everybody keep going. He’s out here somewhere, and we’re going to find him one way or another.”

Noah had just put the radio back into his pocket when a burst of static came out of it. “This is Albert Lingenfelter,” they heard. “All of you, come on in. We have a new plan, but I want all of you in on it.”

“Yes, sir,” Noah said.

“Hallelujah,” Jenny said. “I was about to go nuts just looking into windows on empty buildings.”

“Roger, coming in,” Marco said.

Sam came through the radio last. “Heading back in,” he said. “Hope you guys have come up with something good.”

They made it back to SIS headquarters in a little over half an hour, all of them pulling in around the same time.
