Helenâs aunt Lettie took a while to find her cell phone, but when she did, she loaned it to them with her blessing. Marcie and Pearson arrived back at Helenâs apartment within an hour.
And found that they had company.
Two men in dark suits were standing in the bedroom. One of them, who looked like heâd just taken a bite out of a lemon, said, without a handshake, âDetective Murphy. State police.â He pointed to his partner and added, âThis is Detective Ellington. Weâll take it from here.â
Marcie glanced at Spencer, gave him a Did you do this? look. He shrugged and appeared clueless. She figured the big boys at the main bank had called the big boys in Cheyenne.
âI doubt you have the vast resources required for something like this,â Murphy said.
Grinding her back teeth, Marcie said, âThe crime happened in my county, Detective.â
âBut I suspect the criminals are no longer in your county, Sheriff.â He looked down at the cell phone in Marcieâs hand. âAnd it sounds like this will tell us for sure. Ms. Wilson, would you do the honors?â
Helen, still in bed, took her auntâs phone from Marcie, tapped some buttons, studied it a moment, and handed it back. Everyone crowded in to see.
On the screen was a map with a red dot in the middle. The location wasnât approximate; it was exact. According to the GPS, Helenâs missing cell phone was now at an address on the northeast corner of Hill Street and Lancaster, in the small town of Florence. Sixty miles south.
They watched the screen for several minutes. The red dot didnât move.
Detective Ellington took out his own phone and Googled the address shown on the GPS map. After a moment he looked up at his partner. âTwo-twenty Lancaster Street,â he said, âis a place called the Traildrive Motel.â
Murphy nodded, his eyes on the screen. The red dot stayed put.
âWe got âem,â he said.
