*****

I had Manny and Mac rig one of the conference rooms for sight and sound. I knew how big this story could be, and everything had to look right. We didn’t have a lot of time for setup, but I made sure that all the little touches were there. I dimmed the lights, laid some pictures of the body and the reports on the table, and placed several used coffee cups around the room. I wanted to give the illusion that the cops had been sitting around the table and working on this all night. It actually looked pretty damn convincing. Mac had managed to calm down after his outburst, and we were once again working as a team.

Reid and Foxy took their places at the table, and I hid with Mac and Manny in the corner of the room.

“I thought this was supposed to be reality,” Foxy said. “This feels a little staged.”

I shrugged. A few moments later, Captain Harris opened the door with force. “Okay, what we got?” She sat at the table and paid our camera no mind. She was focused on Reid and Foxy and solving this case.

“We’ve been investigating the murder of John Walters, a.k.a. Chaser,” Reid began.

“Yeah, the hit-and-run, get to the point,” Harris interrupted.

“We have come to discover that Chaser was transporting illegal immigrants across the border in his race car. They called him Chaser because he could outrun the border patrol. Last night we followed his friend and partner Kitt down to the border – that’s how we found out about this operation.”

“What exactly did you find?” Harris asked.

“We followed him inland near San Diego. He drove through the bushes so we couldn’t see the actual pick-up, not unnoticed at least, but we did see him take off at high speed with some extra passengers.”

“But you have no evidence that they were illegal, right?”

“Right, but we spoke to the border patrol down there and they said both Kitt and Chaser do this all the time.”

“Okay, so border patrol has a vendetta against this Chaser guy. Do they follow him to the mainland?” Harris asked.

“It’s possible, but we think he was run down by a race car. We found two different colors of paint chips on the victim’s body. The guys down there, at least the ones we saw, drove Jeeps.”

“Could you trace the paint to any specific vehicles?” Harris asked.

“We’re waiting for forensics to get back to us on some samples we pulled off the car we think was used for the murder. The driver has an alibi, but his car seems to match the color of the chips found on the victim.”

“So why not chase him? Why this Kitt guy?”

“The guy’s alibi is solid, the only way he could have done it is if someone borrowed or stole his car while he was at work. Chaser’s girlfriend Rose may have had access to the car – we saw her riding in it once. She’s also Mexican and might have a connection on the other side of the border.
