CHAPTER 10

“You want a slice?” Tip asks while shoving the pizza in my face.

“No, I’m good,” I remark. “Where did you get all of these laptops?”

In front of us on the coffee table are five of them, all lined up. One is searching the Magi Elite Police Protective Unit database for Lily Fawlke. The second computer has the name of the person that the unknown number belongs to. Her name is Evelyn Crowe, the same name that’s in the planner. The third screen has a list of names and places from Max’s phone. He called someone at St. Eligius, Julie, Jackie Mitchelson, and Lana. Most of the phone calls lasted no more than a minute. The fourth screen has Jeff Wells’ website, and the last one is trying to access Max’s home computer.

I called Evelyn’s number, but it goes directly to voicemail. Unfortunately, it doesn’t stay on long enough to leave a message. I spoke to the husband of Jackie Mitchelson, also. He said that she was killed during an explosion. I didn’t get any more details. Her husband hung up on me.

With a mouthful of food, he answers, “I’ve always had these computers. I just don’t use them very often.”

“Can you chew your food first before you answer?”

“Sorry,” Tip says as he places his pizza on a plate between us. He wipes his hands on his pants and reaches for a napkin behind the laptops to wipe his face. I know he has better manners, but I’m not going to say anything else about it.

“So,” I remark, “tell me what’s up with the search for Lily Fawlke.”

“Nothing as of yet as you can see, but the program will keep on searching until it gets a hit. The Magi Elite Protective Unit has a huge database, bigger than I thought.”

“Will they be able to track you?”

“Nope,” he says calmly.

“Tip, I don’t want to get you in trouble.”

“I’m good at what I do, Alice. Don’t worry. Getting back to when you were back at Jeff’s house. Five people were dressed in all black. They didn’t try to kill themselves after they burned down those houses?”

I’ve partially told Tip what happened with my visits to Jeff’s neighborhood and Julie’s apartment, but he was distracted when his pizza finished cooking. The conversation was cut short so he could fix his plate.

“No, they didn’t,” I answer. “I don’t know why the Fellowship would do that in somewhat of a remote neighborhood and in a small town. There’s no point.”

“Those people weren’t members of the Fellowship. The Fellowship look to disrupt the normal flow of life to larger populations, and they don’t hide behind masks. Your five people were just taking advantage of the situation.”

“Well, I just hope they didn’t kill Jeff.”

“Call him up,” Tip says. “His number is right there on the screen, and I’ll see if I can track his phone. If it’s on, I’ll be able to locate him pretty quick.”

The kid is amazing. Why didn’t I think of that before? I do exactly as he says, but to my disappointment, Jeff’s line is disconnected.
