“No. I’m not married. She’s someone I work with and she went missing late last night. We were trying to help the other girl.” Not quite the truth, but it would suffice for now.


“How about these guys?” Tate handed him photos of Barone and Hicks.


After studying them for a long moment, Mr. Connor tapped Hicks’ picture. “Seen him around on and off. Not in this area. More like down…shit…other side of downtown if I remember rightly. They got something to do with your missing women?”


“They might.” Tate put the pictures back in his pocket and took out a couple of bills, handing them to the man. “Thanks for your help, Mr. Connor.” He got up, intending to quiz a few more men who were sitting or lying against the buildings farther down the street.
