NINETEEN
Mikeâs Auto Repair Shop looked a little worse for wear than it had in the footage from six years before. The green awning above the garage was faded and tatty, the gold name was barely legible, and the paintwork was peeling.
âYou Mike?â Savage asked, as he and Burner walked into the garage. It stank of exhaust fumes and grease. The man working beneath the car looked up, only his head and shoulders visible, the rest of his body hidden in the inspection pit.
âCan I help you?â
âSheriff Savage.â He showed the man his ID. âThis is my associate Grayson Carter.â
Mike peered at them from under the car. âWhat do you want?â He wasnât rude, just curious.
Savage cleared his throat. âWeâd like to ask you about a surveillance camera outside your garage six years ago, when the shooting took place at the Burger King across the street.â
Mike frowned. âWhy you askinâ me about that now? I showed it to the cop at the time, but he didnât want it. Said they had enough evidence.â
Savage glanced at Burner. âWhich cop?â
âThe one working the case. I canât remember his name.â Savageâs heart sank. A whole crew of officers had worked the burglaries. Mostly detectives, but a couple uniforms as well. Even Savage couldnât remember them all.
âWas it a man?â
âYeah, shorter than you. Brown hair. Uniform.â
Unfortunately, that didnât narrow it down. âWhite guy?â
âYeah.â Mike climbed out from the grease pit and wiped the sweat off his face, leaving a dirty smear.
âDid the detective actually see the footage?â
âSure did. He viewed it in my office from start to finish. Terrible business, that woman getting shot and all. Especially since she had those young tykes at home.â
Savage didnât need reminding. âHe watched it, then told you he didn't need it?â
The man gave an impatient nod. âThatâs what I said.â
âIt doesnât make sense.â Savage looked at Burner. âWhy would a cop ignore evidence?â
âHe might if he were covering something up,â Burner murmured.
They had to see what was on the tape. Savage turned back to Mike. âYou still have it?â
âI think so. Itâs not something you throw away, you know. I thought about taking it to the press, but then it didnât seem right, considering how that poor woman died.â
Ironically, if he had taken it to the press, the outcome may have been different. Curiosity burned in Savageâs gut. Burner looked equally eager.
âCan we see it?â Savage asked.
âGive me a second. Iâll see if I can find it.â
They followed the auto mechanic into his corner office at the back of the garage. Glass screens separated it from the main working area, so he could still look out onto what was happening while he sat at his desk. Savage noticed one other guy working on a Ford Explorer in the back, but that seemed to be the only staff Mike had.
âJust the two of you?â Savage asked, more to make conversation than anything else.
âYeah, Timmyâs my brother-in-law. We used to have a couple more guys but had to lay them off.
