Chapter 14
Gordon and Charles gave their statements and after four hours of tense questioning, together and separate, their status was changed from suspects to witnesses. There had been another murder while they were in custody. There was an APB out on Shannon Pitcher and Jared Cruse’s Chevelle. They said nothing about Charity. That was Charles’s suggestion, agreed upon while they waited in front of Shannon’s house. Sergeant Winter ordered them to stay in the area until further notice and sent them on their way.
They stepped out of the Riverside City complex and walked across the parking lot toward Charles’ Caddy. Another hot day, and muggier than usual, but the gathering cover of dark clouds hinted at relief.
Neither spoke until they were in the car, driving back to the motel.
