Chapter 50

“I’m going to question the kid. He should know where she is. Can you keep it together that long?” Deems asked Pauly.

Pauly swallowed, then after a moment nodded.

Deems walked up to the young man who sat on the ground, his hands shackled behind him.

“I’m going to ask you a few questions,” Deems started. “If you help us it would help toward your prison sentence. It could get you less time. Do you understand?”

The kid, Billy Jack, nodded.

“Are there any other people around here?”

Billy Jack shook his head.

“Then, who is the woman who owns this?” He held up Cam’s bag.

“She was a driver,” Billy Jack answered.

Deems stood there staring at him. “Then where is she? Why did she leave her bag here?”

Billy Jack looked at the ground. “I think she’s dead,” he said very softly.

In a rage, Pauly yanked him to his feet.

“Then where’s her body?” he asked the kid.
