Maxi seemed unconvinced and Billy had a feeling that she wasn’t any more sure that this kid was the mastermind behind her break-in, hacking, and dead poultry delivery than he was.
Grover must’ve read their uncertainty. “He’s our guy. We have fingerprints connecting him to one crime and surveillance footage that puts him at the scene of the other.”
“You had Carter’s computer and thought that he was the guy,” Maxi pointed out.
“We picked Carter up off a tip. This is different. Tully was being booked for the same offense.” He gathered the file and photos. “Thanks for coming in and looking at these. I’ll call if we need anything else.”
Billy could see that the man didn’t appreciate Maxi’s observation.
Grover stood and opened the door. “Officer Myers will show you out.”
As they followed behind the officer Billy grew even more anxious to speak to Nate. His instincts were telling him that they’d once again gotten the wrong guy. He was sure that this Tully kid had sent the birds and even broken into her apartment, but he had a feeling there was more to the story. No way was this kid the mastermind behind all of it.
When they made it outside Billy pulled out his phone. Normally he’d try to find a quiet place away from Maxi to have this conversation, but he didn’t want to waste time. It turned out it didn’t matter since the call went straight to Nate’s voicemail.
After leaving a message he put his phone back in his pocket. “Do you want to go check on Charlie before heading home?”
“Yeah.” She nodded.
There were so many things that Billy wanted to ask her, starting with why she’d seemed so unsure about Tully. And he would, once they’d made sure that her dad was doing okay they’d go back to her place and he would start lining up some ducks.
