Nope. Nothing to arrest him for. But I did tell him I had some specialist coming in to speak to him. Told him if he hung out here with me until you got here, it would make things much easier. I tell you, though…I have a mind to arrest him anyway. Hes being difficult about answering questions. When I told him Id like to see his cell phone, he got mad. I thought I was going to have a fight on my hands. Hes demanding a warrant before we can get his phone.

Did you make a call for that?

Sure did. I expect to have it in an hour or so. The phone is in his truck, Jennings said, gesturing toward the beat-up truck beside his patrol car.

You mind if we speak to him? Kate asked.

Thats fine. But…can I ask what this is about?

Hes a suspect for two murders and a possible abduction up in Deton, Kate said. And there may be unlikely ties to the victims. Thats all I can say for now.

Cant say Im surprised, Jennings said. This guy has been nothing but trouble since he moved to town.

How long has he been here? DeMarco asked.

Four or five years, Id guess. Came here from Richmond after a shit load of legal issues. Truth be told, if you can get him out of town, Id consider it a favor.

He walked to the passenger side of the patrol car and opened the door. Get on out here, Sanders, Jennings said. These two ladies would like to speak with you.

The man who emerged from the police cruiser bore an uncanny resemblance to Katherine Sanders. He was rail-thin, had a haunted distant look in his eyes, and, as Jennings had said, he looked incredibly angry. He had long hair that looked as if it had not been washed in a few days. He also had that same hazy faraway look she had seen in Katherines eyes.

Again, Kate and DeMarco showed their ID and badges. Seeing them, Nick Sanders looked instantly alarmed. It was another moment where he looked exactly like his older daughter.

Mr. Sanders, were currently investigating a case in Deton, Virginia, that seems to have a direct link to you. Do you recall the Fuller family from your time in the Waynesboro?

The alarm on his face now turned to something that resembled genuine fear. Kate thought it was the look of a man who was having his mind read. He felt like his own thoughts and memories were being intruded upon.

I do.

When was the last time you saw the Fullers?

A long time ago.

Would you be at all surprised to know that both Alvin and Wendy Fuller are dead?

The news seemed to rock him but he took it in stride. He looked from Jennings and then to the two women standing in front of him. Who killed them?
