The investigation started with a lead from a waitress at a local fried chicken restaurant in Marble Falls. I think it was called The Authentic Louisiana Restaurant, or something like that.
I was looking into a cold case file, or at least that was my excuse to get the hell out of the office. I was not wanted there, that’s obvious enough.
Anyway, it turns out she had served this weird guy who ate alone in silence, then just stared at the wall. She got a bad vibe from him, bad enough for her to be flustered while telling me about it.
She gave me a name, Turner Construction. She said she had seen it on his phone. The name took me to Austin.
She waited until I had finished my food to tell me he had ordered the same thing I did. My insides twisted.
Until next time.
