The officer seemed to catch the urgency behind Kates words and wasted no time in assisting. She paged someone elsewhere in the station and in less than a minute, another officer was leading them back into the station. As they made their way to what Kate assumed was the records room, another officer appeared from around the corner. Not just an officer, Kate noted when she saw the mans badge on his chest.

Im Deputy Rothbridge, he said in a thick southern accent. He looked to be about fifty or so, a grayed moustache and chiseled chin making him look like a younger Sam Elliot. Anything I can do to help?

Maybe, Kate said. The other officer stopped in front of a door, opened it for them, and then gestured inside with a quick nod. He gave Deputy Rothbridge a rather excited look as he passed back by them, headed back the way he had come.

Have you heard about the double murder and possible abduction over in Deton? DeMarco asked.

I have. You working that?

We are, Kate said. And as it turns out, the victims once lived in Waynesboro. They moved to Deton about fifteen years ago. Were trying to figure out why. There are details emerging that we cant quite share just yet, but were hoping there might be some information here on Wendy and Alvin Fuller that can make things a bit clearer.

Well, the names dont ring any bells, Rothbridge said. But youre welcome to look at anything you need to. He had already walked over to one of the two laptops sitting on a desk against the wall. He typed in a password and waited for the desktop to come up. We went fully digital about five years ago, he said. If you do need anything else you cant find here or in these old cabinets, let me know.

He hovered around a bit as Kate and DeMarco sat down by the laptop. Kate, fully aware that DeMarco was much better with all things computer-related, let her partner have the seat at the keyboard.

It took a few instructional cues from Rothbridge for DeMarco to get into the database but once she was in, she found what she needed easily enough. But, as Kate had feared, there was very little to be found on the Fullers. Alvin had gotten a speeding ticket and had gone to court to protest it. He also had two parking tickets, both on Main Street. There was also a form on file that seemed to be nothing more than a means to verify their old physical address here in Waynesboro.

And that was it. Or so it seemed at first.

Deputy, DeMarco said, whats this little notation right here?

She was pointing to the top right of the screen. A small notification gave viewers a date and time for when the files were last accessed.

Well, that does seem a little odd, doesnt it? Rothbridge said.
