“Are you going to use your name when you call?” Corey asked Scott.
“In a way. I’ll switch it around to Reed Scott and pick up a new phone, registering it to that name, so it will show up on your caller ID. When I’m at the shelter, I’ll be nameless. Just another man who needs a bed and a hot meal.”
“Do you really think he could show up there again?”
“Maybe not, but I’ll know better once we see if he stalks you when we meet for dinner or coffee.”
“If you do spot him, will you arrest him?”
“On what charge?” Darin replied before Scott could. “At this point there’s no reason to connect him to the murder. We arrest him, he’ll lawyer up and be out in no time.”
“I thought… I mean, weren’t the people searching my place for evidence?”
“Yes, and they found enough to tie him there, once we have a real reason to arrest him.”
“Like his coming after me, which is what this is all about,” Scott put in.
Corey winced. “I guess I’ve been slow on the uptake. I didn’t put two and two together that way.”
“You’re not used to being in a situation like this,” Scott replied.
“Thank God for that. I wish….”
“That you were not in one now.” Scott patted his shoulder. “Quite understandable, but with luck you’ll be out of it soon.”
“Other than having lost a friend to the bastard. That can’t be undone.”
“No, but together we can avenge his death by catching the man who killed him.”
