CHAPTER 26

After they dropped the sample off at forensics, they met up with Mercy in the war room and came up with a plan for the rest of the day.

“We have to find Mr. Hahn’s parents,” Lue suggested. “Patrol officers found no one at his listed address, and their voice mails have gone unreturned. Similar story with Ms. Mares: according to last known information and all the pictures up in her house, she has a dashing young husband. In fact, I know her husband: he reported a B&E about two months ago.”

“Related?” Mercy asked.

“Doubtful. They broke into the Mares’s garage and stole some power tools. Anyway, none of the neighbors have seen him in the last twenty-four hours. Mark called me from the scene; he tells me it looks like they buttoned up the place for a long absence.”

“Like the packed bags at Martin’s.”

“Right on, Art. I think these families knew each other. And I think they were leaving.”

“Why?” Mercy asked.

Art shrugged. “Wouldn’t you, if you were a dragon in this town?”

“An interesting thought. We don’t know yet if they’re all dragon, of course.”

“Whether they are or not,” Lue mused, “we might want to look for patterns of disappearances in the other towns.”

“Missing persons investigations should be easy enough to check,” Mercy noted.

“Not all of them will be officially ‘missing,’ ” Lue guessed. “Some of them may have even told neighbors that they would be away for a long time.”

Mercy whistled at Lue, then turned to Art. “Bright partner you have here.”

“Yes.” Art winked at Lue. “Bright indeed. We should also widen the interview circle. Check online social networks for friends, see if anyone else has gone missing.”

“You savvy enough on the Internet to do that, Art?” Lue teased.

Art whipped up his smart phone. “I’m doing it now.”

“You stud. How is the headache?”

Art refused to look directly at Mercy. “It’s fine. Thanks for asking.”

Lue turned to the FBI agent. “He had a headache yesterday. It gets worse when he spends time with me, but it gets better when he spends time with you, Agent March. You two should track down the networks for Martin and the other victims. The chief and I will get a manhunt going for Hahn’s parents. If nothing else, they deserve to know what happened to their son.”

Mercy grinned at Art, who stared at the table red-faced. “That sounds like a plan, Lue. Thanks.”
