Randall entered the Starbucks and made a beeline for the table where Sara was working on her laptop.

“Chloe,” he began, “Anything on Victor Menendez?”

“Plenty,” Sara answered, swiveling her laptop to show the first ten of 1.2 million Google hits. “Not much useful, however.”

Randall produced a piece of paper from his pocket and unfolded it. “What if you crosscheck it with Guillermo Rojas?” he asked, reading the paper.

“Where did you get that name?”

“From this rental agreement I recovered at the scene,” Randall handed her the paper. “It’s also got an address I need you to locate for me.”

Sara pulled up Google Earth and punched in the address. “It’s across town, at the waterfront,” she said.

Randall frowned. “I’ll need backup on this,” he said. “Where’s Edgar?”

“Not back yet,” Sara explained, “but you know Edgar.”

“It’ll have to be you then. Let’s go.”

“You two aren’t going anywhere except home!” Sara and Randall turned. Their parents were blocking the entrance.

    So now we know what Randall discovered at the crime scene (I could not come up with anything that made this much sense). Did the parents have to come in and spoil the fun?

    Awesome, intense fun with your quirky little character practically breaking the case…only to be foiled by gross parentage. Such a bummer.

    Caught in the act. Of course something like this had to happen… I forsee some kind of “boy crying wolf” thing at some point. Or in this case, “kids crying kidnap.” Take your pick. *
