Chapter Nineteen

The chain caught, and I waited for the steel gate to slide away before driving into my office’s parking lot. I parked, grabbed William McCleary’s computer, and stepped out of the truck. “I’ll be back as soon as I can,” I told Charlotte. “There’s a seawall over there if you want to stretch your legs and take in the view.”

“Thanks, I might do that.” I stepped back to shut the door. “Ryan?”

“Yeah?”

“Thank you for everything you’ve done. Everything you are doing. It means a lot.”

“I’ll be back soon.” I shut the door and went inside, making my way down the first-floor hallway toward the evidence locker. I stopped when I saw a sliver of light coming from beneath Spam’s door. I rapped on it and opened it. Spam was the FID’s IT expert. He was a whiz when it came to computers, the internet, or hacking into programs or servers. His desk was facing the door and several empty cans of Diet Coke sat on his desk, and a congested band of wires and cords ran down to the floor and over to a bank of servers and routers and other gadgets that were completely foreign to me. A poster of Luke Skywalker standing face-to-face with Darth Vader hung—a little lopsided—on the wall behind him.

He looked up from one of five computer screens and brushed back a lock of red hair that had fallen over his eyes. “Ryan! What are you doing down here on a Sunday? Shouldn’t you be on the water with a line in the water?”

“I was going to ask you the same thing. Shouldn’t you be at home playing Zelda, or Call of Duty or something?”

“Yes,” he said. “I totally should be. But my boss up at headquarters sent me a program he needs encrypted by tomorrow.”

I held up the laptop. “Can you take a look at this for me? I need you to scour this computer and segment all the information on it. Emails, notes, documents, and the like.” I handed it across his desk.

“A MacBook? Sure. Piece of cake. When do you need it by?”

“As soon as possible.”

“I can have it done by tomorrow at the latest. If I have it finished today, I’ll call you.”

“Thank, Spam. I don’t care what Brad says about you. You’re a good man.”

“Wait. What’s Brad say about me?”

I grinned and stepped back toward the door. “Thanks again, Spam.” I shut his door and took my exit of the building. Charlotte was sitting on the seawall, looking down at the water lapping just below her feet. I walked across the lush grass and came up beside her. “Hey,” I said.

She sniffed and looked away.

“You okay?”

“I can’t believe he’s gone.” A breeze tickled a few strands of hair off her shoulders and rustled the palm fronds above our heads.

I let out a long sigh. “Yeah,” I sighed. “I can’t either.”

“Earlier, you said something about a beer?”

“Damn right I did.” I held out my hand and helped her to her feet.
