When they arrived at George’s apartment building, Mike got his kit from the trunk of his car. Then, with Brody doing as he had at Kurt’s place, they made it up to, and inside the apartment.
Mike saw immediately why Kurt knew George had left, and quickly. Almost everything one would expect to find in an apartment was there other than clothes and personal items. And, as Kurt told Sage, who told Mike, some award plaques and two family photos were missing as well.
“Where did he keep his laptop?” Mike asked.
“On the desk, or when he left it behind because we were going somewhere, in the bottom desk drawer, under a bunch of files,” Kurt replied. “He wasn’t very trusting. I sometimes thought if he’d had a safe he’d have stashed it there.”
Sage went to check the desk drawer, telling Mike why.
