He and Darius arrived at the state police precinct shortly before 2:00 PM. Chris and Finn led them to a small room with several large computer monitors and told them to sit.

“Okay, the first video is from the restaurant and shows the accident pretty well.” Chris pressed play and they watched the black and white video. The camera was obviously mounted above the front door, for they saw people entering and exiting the restaurant. About ten seconds in, Mac saw Izzy and Cara exit. Izzy was in front and stepped off the curb as she turned back to say something to her sister, who was leaning down, doing something with her shoe. There was no sound but the picture was surprisingly decent quality. A dark sedan appeared in the corner of the frame, heading straight toward Izzy. He saw her head jerk around as she jumped out of the way. He was grateful there was no sound; listening to her scream would have been intolerable. It was bad enough watching as the car’s bumper caught her lower leg and her head hit the curb; she collapsed, unconscious, her leg bleeding all over the sidewalk. The next few minutes were much as Cara had described in her statement: Izzy remained unconscious for nearly five minutes, coming around as the paramedics arrived. She sat up and vomited into the gutter, then one of the paramedics ripped her trousers to the knee while the other started an IV. Within minutes they had her loaded into an ambulance and away to the hospital.

“Shit,” he muttered and cleared his throat. “Okay. Can you back it up and freeze on the car?”

But the driver wasn’t visible from the angle of the restaurant camera; it only captured the front, right side of the vehicle. New Mexico did not require front license plates, so there was nothing to go on.

“The only other video we have is from the ATM across the street. It’s crappy quality, but it shows the car a lot better.” Finn pulled up the video. It was the typical quality of an ATM: jumpy and exceptionally grainy. But it showed the entire vehicle, a dark 4-door Chrysler 200. Finn froze it on the image of the car as it sped away. “We got a partial plate number.”

“And?” Mac demanded.

“And APD is running it. Top priority, I promise. She’s my sister, Mac.” Finn frowned, eyes narrowed at him.

“Yeah, I know. I just…”

“Knock it off, you two,” Chris said. “We don’t need a pissing contest to see who cares more about Izzy. APD is on the hit-and-run; it’s outside our jurisdiction. What we need is to figure out how we’re going to bring that son-of-a-bitch Lyon down, because I have a hunch Hugh is right about the timing being a bit too convenient. I think we can get a warrant to search the business based on the records they sent Izzy and Hugh. State police can handle that. Finn and I can talk to a judge this afternoon.
