Stone thought about it,and he realized that there was someone else who had seen John Collins on Islesboro. He made the call.
“Hahlo!”
“Seth, it’s Stone.”
“How you doin’?”
“Very well, thanks, and I hope you are.”
“Yup.”
“Seth, you remember the gentleman who spent the night in the garage?”

“Did you get a good look at him?”
“Of course. How could I miss him?”
“Right. Had you ever seen him before?”

“Walking where?”
“Just walking.”
“I don’t mean his destination. I mean, where on the island did you see him?”
