“Mike?”
“I’m here, Captain. What can I do for you.”
Hurd told him.
Holly and Lauren Cade met for lunch at the Ocean Grill, as was becoming their habit.
“Hurd has requisitioned the equipment we need for the operation,” Lauren said. “Now would be a good time for you to call Jane Grey and get her cooperation.”
“When will you need Jimmy’s car?” Holly asked.
“If she can get it Friday night and return it Monday morning, that would be ideal.”
Holly produced her cell phone, looked up Jane’s direct line and called.
“Orchid Beach Police Department, Jane Grey.”
“Hi, Jane, it’s Holly.”
“How you doing, Holly?”
“Real well, but I need your help on something.”
“Anything I can do, sure.”
“First I have to tell you some things that have to remain with you and no one else.”
“Gotcha.”
“Jimmy Weathers has become a suspect in the rapes and murders.”
“It wasn’t Bruno?”
“Maybe. We’re not sure, but in order to find out, we’re going to have to place some equipment in Jimmy’s car, and we’ll need the weekend to do that.”
“I see,” Jane replied.
“Can you get him to use another car from Friday afternoon until Monday morning while his car is worked on?”
“I think I can manage that,” Jane said.
“Thank you, Jane. Would you call me back when that’s all set up?”
“I will. Anything else?”
“That’s all.”
“I’ll call you later.” Jane hung up.
“Jane is with us,” Holly said to Lauren. “I had to tell her those things, but she’s completely trustworthy.”
“That’s all right,” Lauren said.
“Anything else new in the case?”
“Well, I’ve had all sorts of thoughts about it.”
“What thoughts?”
