As soon as Milo left, we headed back to the rental house with Kevin’s 35mm SLR.

“I think our best bet is in the back,” Kevin said. “There’s an alley that runs along the back of the property. I’d be willing to bet that they bring a van in through the alley and pull right up to the back door.”

As soon as we arrived, we made a pass through the alley behind the house.

“Nothing yet,” I said. “Let’s find a spot out of the way and watch.”

About an hour later, Kevin’s prophecy was fulfilled. A black van entered the alley and pulled into the backyard of the rental.

“Bingo!” he said, “We’re in business.”

We gave them a few minutes to get the removal process started, then slipped quietly into the alley. We found a spot behind a neighbor’s trash can that gave us an unobstructed view of the van and the back of the house.

As soon as the first man appeared, Kevin started snapping photos. The whole process took just over an hour. When we heard the van door slam shut, I pointed to the camera. “Let’s see what we got.”

My heart sank as Kevin scrolled through the thirty photos he had taken. The men were carrying stuff out of the house all right, but everything was packed in cardboard boxes.

Kevin saw the problem right away. “Well crap! We didn’t get diddly squat, did we?”

“No, we didn’t. We show these pictures in court and the defense attorney says the guys were taking their laundry to the laundromat. We know what’s in those boxes, but we can’t prove it.”

We just sat there in a funk, then I had an idea. “Do you remember the little camera we used at the dentist’s office. The one where we caught him groping the female patients while they were out?”

“Yeah, what about it?”

“That’s what we need in that basement. We install the camera, then when the tenant brings the meth lab back in, we’ve got him.”

“So, you’re thinking we break in again?”

“Won’t have to,” I replied. “Milo is going to inspect the house and we’re going with him. Remember the other time when you borrowed a sniffer and a couple of gas company coveralls from your friend?”

He grinned. “I see where you’re going, and I like it.”
