Paying the Piper
“The stink of melting radials ensured he didn’t get too close to the conflagration. Smoke curled from the tips of the flames into the night. The symbolism wasn’t lost on him. The ransom drop was going up in smoke. Yet again, the Piper had grabbed an operation and turned it on its head, and Sheils was forced to pick up the pieces. State and local cops were setting up roadblocks without any idea of who or what they were looking for. The word shambles sprang to mind.
Brannon had arrived before him ...and was in a heated discussion with the fire chief. The fire chief wanted to put out the fire. Brannon wanted the fire to burn itself out so as not to disturb any physical evidence. Sheils inserted himself into the argument, and the fire chief backed down. Not that the argument was necessary. The fire was almost out, having eaten through the car’s interior. Most of the paintwork was scorched off, but what was left was dark blue. It looked as if they’d found Scott Fleetwood’s second car.MoreLess
