“Let’s face it. Anyone vulnerable in the area right now is in danger. I still say the killer is basically a coward. He watched the house before he went in to kill the Rodenberry couple and Elle Détente. He made sure they weren’t tough enough to fight back.”

“Right. But this woman, Greta, Ryder will watch out for her,” Dan said, looking at Ryder.

“Yeah, yeah, Ryder will take this one on,” Ryder said. Then he sighed. “What do you think?”

“I think Neil Browne talked to her and in this instance, I don’t think we need to be afraid. She did exactly what he wanted her to do. Ryder, we’re going to head down to the square. Katie has a friend who may have one of those six cards. And then George gave us a heads-up. He thinks that Neil Browne might have been an extra recently in a movie. The casting director Carly Britton just might have a way to find him.”

“I’ll be back on the streets. We’ve just begun to investigate all the tips we’ve received between the FBI and the police hotline.”

Dan nodded, and they left the station, driving quickly to the square.

“There he is!” Katie said, pointing to a supposed statue in on the walk near the street.

“How do you know that’s Benny?”

“Satchmo,” she said. “He’s perfect!”

She hopped out of the car while he was still pulling the keys from the ignition, hurrying to the statue.

Benny was a damned good Satchmo, down to the way he held his saxophone. The bucket in front of him, brimming with ones, showed just how much his dead-still performance was appreciated.

But he moved when Katie talked to him, hopping down from his little stand. “Got your message, and I found the card!” he told Katie excitedly. “I had stuffed it into my little case.”

He reached into the case next to the bucket and produced the card for her. He looked at Dan with happy triumph. “Here!” he exclaimed.

Of course, his hands were all over it.

Dan smiled his gratitude. “This is great, Benny, thank you,” he said, taking it with a handkerchief from his jacket pocket and sliding it into an evidence bag from his jeans. “They’ll send someone for your prints, and they’ll get Greta’s prints. She’s the lady who gave it to you. And just maybe they’ll be able to pull other prints as well. We just need yours for elimination. Is that all right?”

“Should be fine,” Benny said, grinning. “I’m the kid who never even stole a piece of gum, so I don’t think there are warrants out for me anywhere.”

“Benny, you look great, by the way,” Katie told him.
