Chapter Thirty-Nine

Reece sat in his rental car balancing his laptop on his knees and listening to Willie Nelson singing, “Blue eyes crying in the rain.” He’d bluffed earlier with Kathryn Anders, figuring she had something to hide, and in a short time he’d pieced together the names of the individuals that were involved in the deal to appraise, and auction off, Melvin and Melanie Phillips’ art collection. He’d found the hospital website and their public relations announcement about the upcoming art auction to be held in the hospital cafeteria on May 5th.

Purple and gold lightning flashed across the southern sky in the distance. He watched the approaching storm and looked down at the laptop wondering if the Phillipses were truly good people, trying to do nice things with their money, or if they had other intentions. Reece thought about the housing bubble that led the country into the current recession. So many people have been hurt as a result of the financial greed of so few.

He grabbed his notebook and thumbed through the sheets from the previous week. Reece came to the place where he’d written notes after visiting Ann Fletcher in her smoke-filled home. He’d taped in the concert ticket from the 1981 Rolling Stones concert in St. Louis, and below it the picture of Crystal and her relatives. Below the picture he’d written the names of her family members. Kathryn Anders was Crystal’s cousin. Interesting.

Reece was scrolling through news articles on his laptop, looking for more information about Melvin and Melanie Phillips, when the phone rang. He checked the caller ID, not wanting to endure another call from his family.

“Hello,” Reece said, recognizing the number.

“Hey buddy, have you got a pen?” Haisley said, sounding excited.

“Yeah, what have you got?”

“I talked to the FBI agent I worked with here in Tulsa. I got the names of the guys he played poker with at Sam Shanks illegal casino. Are you ready for them?”

“Yes.”

“Dr. Hank Johnson, Tavo Sheave, Dan Kochi, and Melvin Phillips.”

“Thanks, buddy,” Reece said, writing them down. The name Melvin Phillips seemed to jump up off the page.
