Chapter Twenty-Eight
Quiet.
Miles and miles of it.
Punctuated only by the occasional sound of Kade sniffling.
Deep in thought, Drake tried to formulate all that laid ahead for the day. How to best approach Wylie Dern. How that might affect his interaction later with Sharon Stump.
If at any point Millie Hubble would get around to calling him back.
The meeting with Sharp yesterday had been just a half step above pointless. It bore to reason that trying to meet with Taggert or Poe again would be the same.
Ditto for the medical examiner.
It was an odd place for people like he and Kade to find themselves in. Until formal charges were brought, they were left with precious little to do. They could talk to witnesses. Try to investigate.
Receive absolutely zero cooperation or input from official sources.
At the same time, not having charges brought wasn’t a bad thing. It signified that at least the state recognized there wasn’t enough to mount a case.
The truly backward part of the entire situation, Drake couldn’t help thinking, was that they got to keep Tyce Riggins behind bars in the meantime.
“Were you serious with all that this morning?” Kade asked.
The question shook Drake from his thoughts. Caused him to glance over. To see Kade’s profile silhouetted against the grey sky outside.
“All what?”
Kade kept his attention aimed forward. Refolded a wad of tissue in his hands. Dabbed at his nose with it.
“Moving to D.C. and everything.”
Drake slowed the truck as the first exit on the outskirts of Butte approached. Pushed onto the ramp. Made a right at the top of it.
“I never said I was moving to D.C.,” Drake said. “I’m not even entirely sure she was asking that.”
Ahead a small restaurant came into view on the left. Built from distressed wood, Drake got the impression at first glance it was made to look like an old time cabin. Realized upon rolling past that it was in fact an old time cabin. Had been repurposed in recent years.
Neither he nor Kade had ever been to the place. Had ever even heard of it. Were assured by Wylie Dern on the phone that it was the place in town all the locals went.
Whether or not that was a good thing was yet to be determined.
“You’ve always had pretty good instincts,” Kade said. “And Emily’s never been real subtle.”
There was more than ample proof over the years to show what Emily and Kade thought of one another. Just remembering some of the cracks that had been made in either direction brought a smile to Drake’s face.
“I can’t say the reaction you all gave wasn’t a little surprising,” Drake said. Waited for a car to pass in the opposite direction. Turned into the parking lot of frozen mud.
Kade ignored the comment.
“You thinking on doing it?”
“Until you guys pressed me I’d completely forgotten she even mentioned it,” Drake admitted. Parked the truck. Killed the ignition.
“Like I said,” Kade said. Turned and looked at Drake once more. “Good instincts.”
Without waiting for further explanation Drake stepped out from the truck.
