Chapter Fourteen

“The transfer of information has been very one sided so far,” Heather said as she picked up the radio microphone and advised dispatch they were headed back to the previous address to execute a search warrant.

Jamison didn’t answer Heather’s comment. Jamison worked more with the CIA than the FBI but she knew large organizations tended to hold their information close. She was glad she worked with Flagler. They didn’t have law enforcement privileges but over the years they had developed positive relationships with the agencies they worked with and normally that meant an even flow of information.

Heather sent a text and then dropped the car into gear. “Mom’s about to get a big surprise.”

“I think you arrested him so fast she didn’t have time to think about it,” Jamison said, glancing at a new text alert.

“Yeah, I thought we’d get some resistance from her.”

“Flagler has an update. Want to hear it now?”

“Yeah, sure.”

Jamison dialed Flagler and placed Todd on speaker. “Heather is with me and you’re on speaker, Todd.”

“Greetings again, Officer Cannon,” Todd said in a computer voice before switching back to a more serious tone. “I found some interesting background on McGomery’s employer, Watson-Hughes. The first founding owner was widower Shelley Watson and she passed away several years ago. She has two sons who aren’t active in the company. In fact, both live in California. The second founding owner is Charles Hughes. He’s had a long career in doing absolutely nothing. After leaving the military in nineteen seventy-two he bounced around until teaming up with Shelley Watson about ten years ago. The company has a fairly reputable name although Mr. Hughes’ name has been linked to Clayton Thomas on multiple occasions.”

“The head of the Mountain Militia?” Heather asked, pulling to a stop in front of the McGomery house.

“That’s the guy.”

“Where’s the connection, Todd?” Jamison asked.

“I’m still working on that. I’ll get back with you.”

Heather looked at Jamison. “Are you familiar with Clayton Thomas?”

Jamison shook her head. “Not a bit.”

“Understandable. He’s worked hard to stay under the radar. I ran into a few guys from his group a couple years ago. They were in town blowing off some steam because apparently they don’t get away from the compound much. They got in a fight with some college boys and it turned into a major brawl. The bouncers kicked them all out but they continued fighting in the parking lot. When we finally got them separated, we grilled them all for a few hours before Clayton Thomas showed up and bailed them out.”

“What was the fight about?”

“We were never really sure. The college boys said they were hitting on one of the guys’ girlfriends but the Militia boys wouldn’t say much.” Heather opened a search engine on the computer mounted between the seats. “There isn’t much available information about the Mountain Militia, just their website. But basically once you’re a member, you’re in for life.” She swiveled the computer so Jamison could see the Mountain Militia homepage.

“Looks like the typical white supremacists against the government organization.
