Chapter 7

After getting home from meeting with Gavin and Lorne, I spent the rest of Tuesday night and into the wee hours of Wednesday morning trying to break into the computers at the Rotunda Motel that we thought Kyler might have planned on infiltrating. It took every bit of my hacking skills but eventually I succeeded.

The first thing I found was the résumé he’d sent them. It was fairly innocuous as those things went, with two exceptions. To begin with, he’d applied as Kyler Johnson, which was stupid in my opinion. Kyler isn’t anywhere close to being a common given name. Perhaps he figured he didn’t want to take the chance he wouldn’t respond if he was using another name. You’d think, if he’s gone undercover as often as Lorne said, he’d be used to that.

Secondly, there were the two former employers he’d listed. When I ran a check on them, one of them didn’t have him listed as having been employed by them. Again, sloppy, I thought, for someone who did what he did. I put it down to his wanting to get his résumé out there before he and Gavin took off on their trip.

I hit the mother lode as I dug deeper into the motel’s files. In an extremely well secured one titled ‘Rotunda Contributors’ was a list of over forty men, first names only—with phone numbers. Linked to it was a second list, only accessible if you knew the password. It took me a couple of minutes to find it, but I did. That list held the men’s full names, where they worked, and where they lived, and their phone numbers—two of them, which I figured were home and business. I downloaded both lists and sat back, thinking, while they printed. Then I called Gavin.

“Yeah, what? Do you know what time it is?” Gavin said sleepily when he answered his phone.

“Time for you to wake up and get your brain working.”

“Give me a minute,” he muttered. It took five, but when he got back to me he sounded as if he was awake and aware. “What do you need?” he asked.

“I found what we’re looking for.” I told him about Kyler’s résumé. His response was about the same as mine, that Kyler had been sloppy.

“Anything else?” he asked.

“Yeah. I found a list of what, I’m presuming, are their regular johns. Possibly ones who rate a call when a boy who fits their needs is working at the motel. So I was thinking. Since I’m looking at the list now, how about I add you to it?”

After a brief pause, he said, “I like it. Put me down as Perry Young. It’s an alias I used about three years ago. I still have the ID related to it. What else do you need besides a name?” When I told him, he gave me a phone number for what he told me was a burner phone and said, “I work for Q&A Global, which you undoubtedly know by now.
