LEAVING HIS BELT, Leatherman tool, pocketknife, and change with the woman running the security check, Jess entered the sheriff’s office and stood at the counter. He wasn’t sure what, or who, he was looking for. Someone sympathetic, maybe. Someone he knew.

He stepped aside as three men in their late fifties or early sixties came down the hall to retrieve their belongings. It was obvious they were angry about something.

One said, “That’s bullshit.”

Another said, “There’s no way they’ve got enough guys. The sheriff is always whining about manpower, but he turns us away.”

The third said, “How could they have enough help? It’s that asshole Singer, I’d bet. I heard stories about that guy.”

The first man looked up while stuffing his wallet back into his pockets and saw Jess waiting for them to come through the security check.

“Sorry, I didn’t mean to make you wait.”

“Are you fellows here to volunteer?” Jess asked. “Are you policemen, too?”

“Retired,” the second man said. “LAPD. But the sheriff didn’t even meet with us. He had his secretary come out and tell us to leave our names, but he didn’t need our help right now. Can you believe that shit, with two missing kids?”

Jess thought it was more than interesting.
