He moved closer, leaned in and studied the fuzzy picture on the monitor.
“We captured a few seconds of physical movement before he faded out of camera range.” Matt pushed the pause button again and set the figure in motion.
Nick watched the ski-mask-clad intruder stand up from a crouching position, turn and move out of sight. “Same powerful build. Approximately the same height. I’d say he’s the man who took Lewis out. Could be our shooter, as well. Maybe you should contact the deputy whose uniform he took. They’d have to be about the same size. Maybe he’ll remember something if you show him the footage.”
“Good call. We’ll get on it.” Parker headed out of the control room, presumably to contact the deputy the thug had almost killed with a violent blow to the head.
Matt paused the video and turned his chair. “What’s up?”
Nick crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the doorjamb. “I need a favor.”
“If it involves stealing more glasses from Talk of the Town you can count me out. Faith is protective of those damn glasses.”
“She told you, huh?”
“She mentioned you pocketed one and promised to bring it back washed.”
A smile busted loose and spread on his face. “It’s at headquarters. I’ll see that it makes the trip back to the café. But that’s not the favor I need.”
“I was afraid you’d say that.” The grin on Matt’s face confirmed that his buddy was all in.
“Faith just hired a woman to work some evenings at the café, a Grace Marshall.”
“I’ve met her. She’s gorgeous, and nice. We like her.”
“I need to see the employment application she filled out.”
“Damn.” Matteo stood up and pushed in the chair. “I’m not sure I wanna go there, Nick.”
“I need to know who her previous employer was, or her previous address before she moved to Freedom. I know she grew up in Amarillo, but after college in Texas, she married and disappeared. I’ve got a hole to plug in her background, or at least I’ve got to know what fits in it.”
“Does this involve your special assignment for Governor Lockhart?”
“Yeah.” In a roundabout way it had everything to do with his assignment, but deep down he needed to get a handle on who was following Grace and why she was running scared. Besides, he was responsible for keeping her under surveillance and that meant keeping her and Caleb safe.
“I’ll see what I can do.”
