CHAPTER SIXTEEN
JOSH STAYED AWAKE all night. After midnight, he put on garden gloves and found a roll of oilcloth. He went to the Harley, wrapped the rifle in the oilcloth and took it to the back of the property and the path that led upward. Using a pinpoint flashlight, he went off trail and buried it under a mound of pine needles.
Then he returned to the cabin. He placed a folding chair where he had a view of the Harley. Amos stayed at his side as if he knew he was supposed to be alert.
It reminded him of all the other sleepless nights heâd spent looking for the enemy. He wasnât used to this kind of enemy. A homegrown one who, for some reason, was intent on framing him.
Wasnât going to happen.
Sometime during the night he had decided that no one was going to run him off before he himself was good and ready to get out of town.
It had nothing to do with Eve. Nothing at all. He just wasnât good at running.
Dawn seeped in the windows, and he left his perch and made breakfast. Heâd already had enough coffee to sink a battleship. He took a cold shower before he remembered that Nate would be here to help replace the flooring in the living room.
He called Nate at seven and asked whether he could come at noon instead of eight. Something had come up. Nate readily agreed.
A messenger arrived at eight-thirty. Josh tipped him well, then took the package inside and opened it. There were five small state-of-the-art portable cameras, plus a small listening device. He took a ladder outside, attached cameras to two spots on the roof. Then he attached one to the back of the roof and finally two more in the front yardâone in a tree, again with a view of the Harley, and another with a view of cabin. His cell phone could display what the cameras were seeing. Technology was amazing.
He was finished by ten, just in time to see the police chief pull into his yard. He tucked the bug in his pocket and went to meet him.
âCan I come inside?â MacGuire said.
Josh led the way. Amos had seen the chief before and didnât bound for safety. But he kept his distance.
âThere was a burglary on the street,â MacGuire said.
âSo I heard. When?â
âIn the past four days. Owner was out of town. You walk your dog,â he said. âI hoped you might have seen something. Iâm questioning all the neighbors. Shepâs a good guy. This just about broke his heart. If it had just been money, he wouldnât mind so much. But it was his championship buckles and prize rifles.â
Josh heard the regret in the chiefâs voice.
Maybe it was time to trust someone. He had little choice. But he also had backup. He intended to keep the cameras and bug a secret for now.
âI have one of his rifles,â he said flatly.
The police chief waited for him to continue.
âIt appeared on the seat of my Harley yesterday.
