FIFTEEN

Sam and Indie had gone back to the living room and were sitting on the couch while they waited for Herman to do his thing. They talked a bit about the baby, and tentatively agreed on a few potential names, but then Sam’s phone rang. He took it out of his pocket and looked at it, then quickly answered.

“Sam Prichard,” he said.

“Mr. Prichard,” said a man’s voice. “This is Tim Garrett, the paramedic? I just wanted let you know that man you found at the park is going to be okay. The doctors think he was drugged with trazodone, pretty big dose of it. If you hadn’t found him when you did, he probably would have died within an hour.”

“I appreciate you telling me,” Sam said. “I know he wasn’t looking very good there at the park.”

“Yeah, I’ll say. When we got him to the hospital, he was just starting to come around, but it was still kind of touch and go. I was just back there with an accident victim and asked about him, and I just thought you’d like to know he’s going to make it.”

Sam thanked him again, and then ended the call. He turned to Indie and told her the news, and that’s when the computer chimed.

Indie looked toward the kitchen. “That was quick,” she said. “It hasn’t even been an hour yet.” She got up off the couch and waddled toward the kitchen with Sam following.

“We’ve got a hit,” she said as she clicked the first link. “That’s Samara about twenty minutes ago. He was at the drugstore at Jewell Square.” She clicked back and then tried the next one. “Bingo! Traffic control camera at Jewell and Wadsworth! He’s driving a delivery van, like one FedEx would use. It’s brown and white, with red stripes across the hood.”

Sam took out his phone and called Snake. “Samara is driving around in an old delivery van, like a bread truck. Looks like it’s brown on the bottom and the top half is white, but there are red stripes across the hood.”

“That’s an old Westmark bakery van,” Snake said. “They went out of business a few years ago, but I remember stealing boxes of donuts off them when I was a kid. It was sort of a rite of passage for us kids from the right side of the tracks.”

“Okay, good,” Sam said. “That might make it easier to spot. I’ll contact a cop I know who wants to help, see if he can quietly get some of the other patrol cars to watch out for it. Can you put the word out, as well?”

“Yep. The Devils are all out hunting him now, and just so you know, we decided if we get the reward, it’s being split among all of us. Everyone would get a few hundred dollars, and they all need it.”

Sam grinned. “What, dope dealers need money?”

“Screw you, Dick,” Snake said. “Most of my guys don’t sell any drugs at all, I keep a tight rein on that stuff.
