Chapter 37
With his Explorer backed into the garage, Mike raised the liftgate then returned to the house. He carried out Naomiâs wrapped nude body and placed her in the back of the SUV, tossed a tarp over her as a precaution, then pushed up his sleeve and checked the time. Most peopleâother than cops and criminalsâwere fast asleep after midnight. Tomorrow was a workday, and the streets of North Bend were nearly empty as he headed east on Washington Street. He turned right at the highway entrance, merged onto the four-lane road, and drove south for five miles. He didnât use his blinker when he turned east again on Pleasant Valley Roadânobody was behind him, anyway. At Division Road, he turned south and continued on until he reached the marsh.
I hate this shitâdark, eerie, and dead quiet except for the crickets and frogs.
He flicked the cigarette out the window as he shifted into Reverse and backed the SUV down the dirt and gravel trail. He passed the grassy parking lot on his right and continued as far as he could until the path narrowed to the point that branches were scraping the sides of his vehicle. From that point on, the trail was meant for pedestrian traffic only.
I guess thatâs as far as Iâm going.
Mike killed the engine and climbed out. He clicked on his headlamp and maneuvered through the branches and twigs as he made his way to the back of the SUV. He raised the liftgate, tossed the tarp to the side, and pulled Naomiâs body out by her legs. He panned the light left and right as he looked for the best place to enter the woods. The forest was thick with brush and groundcover. Carrying her farther than fifty feet would be difficult. He was thankful she was tiny. He dipped down and, with a groan, heaved her over his shoulder and headed into the darkness.
It took a good half hour, but the deed was done, and heâd covered Naomi with sticks and rotting leaves left behind from last winterâs snow melt. He bundled the plastic sheeting under his arm and headed to his vehicle.
After climbing in, he pushed the plastic under the seat and fired up the engine. A cold beer, a hot shower, and a good nightâs sleep were on his agenda once he got home.
That should do it. Thereâs nobody left that I had an arrangement with and nobody that knew about it. The timing couldnât be better. The exams will be done in two days, and the semester will be over. UWWC will be nothing but a ghost town for the summer. Iâll move on to another city if I have to, but that depends on how smart North Bendâs cops are. From what Iâve seen so far, none of them can outsmart me.
