Chapter 12

When Raleigh and Matt arrived at the Detention Center, the military police already had Specialist Jackson in an interview room. He was dressed in prison orange and shackled at the wrists to the table and legs to the floor. He wasn’t going anywhere. He looked tired but had a fire in his eyes.

Raleigh was surprised as they approached the room. He stood for a moment and looked through the two-way mirror at the kid. “He’s just a young kid. Can’t be more than twenty.”

“Yep, he’s nineteen. Only been in the army eighteen months. He’s from Chicago; we’re told he grew up on the Southside. Joined to get away from the gangs, at least that’s what he told his buddies in his unit. You ready to go in?”

“Ya.” Raleigh paused and took a deep breath. “Let’s get this over with.”

When they entered the room, the young specialist snapped to his feet. “Good morning, sirs,” he said, then rendered a salute. Raleigh and Matt returned the young man’s salute.

Raleigh spoke first. “At ease, Specialist. Sit down. You know you don’t have to talk to us. You know you have a right to an attorney, correct?

“Yes, sir. I know.”

“Do you know why you’re here, soldier?”

“They think I started the fire at the warehouse, but I didn’t start no fire. I was sent down to check the locks by Sergeant First Class Anderson. I swear I didn’t start no fire.”

“Tell me, who’s Sergeant First Class Anderson?”

“Sir, he’s my supervisor. He said I had to go at eighteen hundred hours and check the locks at the old warehouse. I didn’t start no fire, I swear.”

“Do you know why he sent you to check the locks, Specialist?”

“Nope, just that he said go check them and text him when I did. So, I checked them locks on my way back from chow and then texted him. Next thing I know, I see on the TV that the warehouse is on fire. I got scared and tried to call Sergeant Anderson, but he wouldn’t answer my call or texts.”

“Can you hold one second, Specialist?”

“Yes, sir.”

Raleigh leaned in toward Matt. “Do me a favor, man. Go out into the hall and call his commander. See if we can get a line on who this Sergeant First Class Anderson is. See if we can’t get him brought in for questioning.”

“Ya, no problem. Be right back.”

Raleigh continued with the questioning. “Tell me about Sergeant Anderson. What do you know about him?”

“Well, sir, I know he’s my supervisor, and he likes to disappear a lot.”

“Whatcha mean by disappearing?”

“Well, like I said, he disappears a lot. A few times we found him over by that warehouse that burned, talking to some guy. Not sure who he was but he looked big and he looked mean. Looked like one of the special ops guys. He’s a white guy, blonde, baseball cap, and had a beard. You can always tell the ops guys cuz they look civilian, but they walk and talk military.”

“Ever get a name?” Raleigh asked.
