Chapter 6
Craig didn’t hear from Kevan until the following Thursday.
“No luck with finding the homeless guy,” Kevan told him when he called mid-afternoon. “And the card hasn’t been used since the convenience store.”
“That’s weird,” Craig said. “He knows it works.”
“Maybe he got a conscience. Maybe he lost it. Maybe it’s buried so deep in his backpack he forgot he had it. Whatever the reason, he hasn’t bought anything else with it.”
Craig sighed. “I guess it’s time to give up. It’s been three weeks. Scott could be halfway across the country by now, doing who knows what. Hell, he might have taken off because he met someone else. It would be as good a reason as any to vanish. He didn’t want to hurt my feelings.”
“Do you believe that?”
“No. Not really. But it would explain everything.”
