Silent Joe
“The story of Alex, the disturbed twenty-one-year-old, hit the papers that morning and TV that evening. Plenty of good photographs, accounts of his violence, many references to the fact that he was a "firearms dealer," which he wasn't, and a "suspected trafficker in illegal weapons," which he was.
Over the next two days there were two hot sightings of Alex, and the Bureau's Emergency Response Team rolled on both of them. But Marchant couldn't get his men out fast enough either time. It was like ...Alex had a sixth sense. One sighting was up in the mountain resort of Big Bear. Alex had rented a spacious two-bedroom chalet on the north shore. The second was a hotel up on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood.
According to the news, the witnesses said that Savannah was with him in both places. I thought of the fresh food in Alex's warehouse, the unopened loaf of bread, the not-quite-yellow bananas and the sell-by dates on the milk and juice. And I had to believe that somehow, Alex had done what I had failed to do that night.MoreLess
