Chapter 84: JOINING OF FORCES - PART 2

"What did you find out about Harold Thomas, McGee?" Zach asked.

"Everything seems to check out with Mr. Thomas. Nothing unusual stands out. Not with his checking account nor his savings account. He paid his bills on time. No collectors were looking for him. He had a thousand dollars in his checking account that the kid should get, and forty thousand in his savings. Other than that, there doesn't seem to be much to find out about him."

"What about his social security number? Did you run it?"

"Not yet. That's next. But I did check his mobile phone and house phone records?" McGee shrugged. "Not much there either. It appears Harold Thomas was a law-abiding citizen. Hell, this guy doesn't even have a traffic ticket."

"That's a good thing. I guess Jake wasn't fabricating anything."

"I know it's hard to believe, but that's the way it's looking. I'll keep at it, though."
