Kim looked at me. “How?” I’d been thinking about Billy since our last conversation, and I couldn’t get him out of my head. We sat on Kim’s front porch, and there was no moon after a Monday-afternoon scorcher. A breeze rustled the leaves on the maple tree over us. “I’ve got a buddy in Spokane that’s a computer whiz. Like a hacker.” “A hacker, huh?” “Yeah. He also deals smoke.” “You hung around some interesting people, didn’t you?” I laughed. “I guess.” “How can he help?” “I don’t know, but he’ll know. Everybody leaves a trail.” She took my hand. “What if she doesn’t want him?” “That’s up to her.” Silence folded in around us for a few minutes, and my mind wandered. “Why don’t you want me around Ron Jamison?” She hesitated. “I just don’t like him. That’s all.” I told her about him following us to the cemetery, then digging up the cats and leaving them on Billy’s porch. She shook her head. “Just stay away, Ben.”
