“IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS, three guys you prosecuted were released on parole, and all of them have been checking in with their PO on schedule,” Drew says.

He popped in to see if we’d had any disturbances last night, and to let us know that they didn’t get any help from the few prints they collected from Mak’s window. I quickly hopped in the shower and put some clothes on, while Nick played host and put on a fresh pot of coffee. I didn’t want to leave those two alone together for too long.

I just walked in to overhear Drew.

“So what then?” I ask, pulling up a stool and smiling at Nick when he slides a fresh cup of coffee in front of me. “I mean someone clearly wants to mess with my head, at the very least,” I offer.

“Well,” Drew drawls out. “I’ve been doing some digging into that girl’s family. The one Nick alerted me on?” he clarifies when he sees my questioning expression.

“Becca?” I ask, turning to Nick, who’s looking a little sheepish. “You talked to the sheriff about her?” His only response is a self-conscious shrug of his shoulders. It only melts me a little bit more. Somehow the fact that a single guy, who by his own admission has no experience with kids whatsoever, would display such concern for a little girl, he’s met only once, is heartwarming.

“The family moved here last year from Grand Junction,” Drew continues. “Mom’s records show she’d been picked up for soliciting a few times. I spoke with a vice officer who dealt with her, and he tells me that CPS had just opened an investigation when the family suddenly up and left. I’ve contacted CPS, but they had little to add, just that a neighbor had been concerned about the little girl and had called them in. They were interested in the family’s whereabouts though, and plan to forward the file to someone local. Chances are they’ll contact the school here, and I’ve given them your name,” Drew says to Nick. “Since you alerted me.”

“Feel free to give them my number too,” I tell him.

“If you’re sure,” the sheriff asks. “Because that neighbor who called the CPS on them in Grand Junction? His trailer burned to the ground, not days after. It was arson and the old guy barely escaped with his life. Swears it was the boy, but the family was gone the morning after.”
