What they were both thinking was that two other women had disappeared the previous night, and it was looking like they had a serial abductor.
If someone was taking women, they weren’t doing it for good reasons. This looked nefarious.
Yeah…
This.
Was.
Bad.
“We will, Sir,” Leah stated. “We literally just got here. Can you calm down, and we’ll start the process? It takes time, and we’re going to help as much as we can.”
The irony was that this was likely being handed over to homicide at some point.
Oh, and they were homicide.
Lucky them.
There was no escaping this case, clearly.
They both saw the moment he was done with the interview. His face said it all.
He was out of there.
“I’m going looking for my wife!” he stated. “She might be hurt in an alley, or the cab driver might have hurt her! I’ll do your goddamn job!”
Well, he could have it.
Dannie would be more than happy to hand it over to him. He was tired, and this was not something he liked feeling in his gut. Already, he suspected what the outcome was going to be, and neither he nor his partner wanted that.
They likely had someone taking women. They were all around the same age, mid-thirties, and had just gone missing.
“Sir, can we maybe go inside and…”
Dave pointed at his house as he dug into his pocket for his truck keys.
“Have at it!” he said. “I’m heading to that painting studio to start asking if anyone knows where my wife is.”
They couldn’t stop him.
That was the last thing they wanted getting out that they were strongarming a man who was likely going to be getting bad news about his wife.
He was calling in a missing person’s report, not admitting to hurting her.
Like any case they worked, there was a process. They’d have to eliminate him by calling his place of employment, but already, they were thinking this was a whole other mess.
“Sir, we…”
Only, Dave didn’t care.
He headed toward his truck, got in, and headed out of there to go‘help’them. He backed out, and floored it, sending gravel everywhere.
Leah sighed.
“Well, he’s worked up.”
Dannie didn’t blame him.
