Chapter Ten

Wednesday, September 11th.

Wild Stallion Ranch.

I could tell Dad still had a headache when he sat down at the table with a black coffee in front of him. He was staring into his mug, not saying anything.

“What’s going on with Olivia? Are you guys giving it another shot?”

“I’m not giving anybody another shot. Not ever. All I do is screw it up and hurt people and I’m not going that route again.”

“Okeydokey,” said Virgil. “From now on, no commitments for the super stud in our family.”

“Shut up, Virge. Shove those eggs in your mouth.”

We all laughed. Even Billy.

Sheriff’s Office. Coyote Creek.

Travis called our first ever staff meeting when we got to the station. We gathered around Molly’s desk in the squad room so she’d be included. She couldn’t run off and abandon the front desk or the phone.

“We have Trevor Oliver in custody, and before his arraignment, I want to make sure we have both Harlan’s and Tammy’s reports filed, stating they heard Trevor and Alison confess to the murders.”

“The reports are filed,” said Molly, “but I don’t think a police report carries the same weight with a judge or the DA’s office as a signed confession.”

“Agreed, but a solid reason to make the arrests, all the same. I’ll brace Trevor in his cell to see if I can get him to open up a bit about his sister-in-law.”

“Mister Oliver has already requested a phone call,” said Molly.

“Yeah, he can make a call right after I book him.” Travis turned and pointed, “Ted and Virge, I want the two of y’all to go to Linda Tucker’s house in Cut Bank and see if she can give you a description of the guys who raped her. Her memory has to be coming back soon. We need more information from her if she can give it.”

“That poor woman,” said Molly. “What she’s been through, I wouldn’t wish on anybody.”

“Yeah,” said Travis. “One of the worst crimes this office has ever tried to solve.”

In the run, I leaned on the wall and listened while Dad talked to Trevor Oliver. He started off nice and friendly to catch him off guard.

“Mister Oliver, I’m going to book you this morning and charge you with four murders. When you go to trial, it would go a lot better for you if the judge was aware you gave me a hand apprehending your accomplice, Alison Oliver.”

Oliver got up off his bunk acting like a big shot and that put me a bit on edge. It was always a bad idea to take a stance in front of my dad.

“The only person I’ll be talking to is my lawyer and I’d appreciate my phone call. I know my rights.”

“And I know mine,” said Travis. “Right after you’re booked, I’ll see that you get close to a phone.”

Travis cuffed Trevor none too gently and led him out of his cell. I followed them out of the run to the booking area close to the back of the building.

“You go ahead and get started, Harlan.
