interview room. We’ve got to get all this on tape.”
    “What about Meg?” Chase asked as they walked back to the room. “She’s still out there, and this sounds so much worse now.”
    “What’s the name of the restaurant?”
    “Rudolfo’s. On Elm Street.”
    “I’ll ask a squad car to go by. Wait in here. I’ll get Franks and we’ll start the interview soon.”
    “Are you sure we have enough time?”
    “Wait here, Chase,” he reiterated. “I’ll be back. Do not call anyone else. We don’t want to tip them off, especially if they have your girlfriend.”
    Chase didn’t have to wait very long before the two officers returned. The sat opposite him and Detective Beam turned on the video camera mounted in the corner of the room. Agent Franks pulled a digital recorder from his pocket to record the interview as well.
    “Do you want anything before we start?”
    Chase shook his head. There was water on the table. That would be enough to get him through. “No, thank you.”
    “Let’s begin.” The two officers introduced themselves and Chase, noted the time and the purpose of the interview, and then began their questioning.
    “Can you first confirm for us your full name and date of birth, just for the record?”
    “My name is Chase Christopher West and I was born on the 9th of January 1994.”
    “Thank you.” Detective Beam looked down at something in front of her. “This is confirmation that the San Diego District Attorney may agree to waive all charges against you in exchange for the information you are about to provide on Fast Auto and its operations. Do you agree?”
    “Yes. I do.”
    “We have a lot of questions for you, but let’s start at the beginning. Chase, we’d like you to tell us how you ended up working at Fast Auto and what you witnessed or learned about their illegal activities. We’d also like you to tell us what you know about Yuri Moscov and John Brewer.”
    Starting at the beginning was going to make it a long story. Chase took a sip of water and started. It took over an hour to give his testimony, and after he was finished, they asked several questions on Yuri Moscov, the cars Chase had worked on that night, the names of the other employees who worked that night, and the types and quantities of drugs that were packed into the vehicles.
    “Can we go look for Meaghan now?” Chase asked when they paused briefly. He was tired of waiting.
    “We have a few more questions. And you won’t be able to leave yet.”
    “Why not?”
    “If we find Meaghan at one of John Brewer’s restaurants, they’ll know someone reported her missing. They’ll probably assume you talked to us. We need to know more about the upcoming shipments they’re working on.”
    “All I know is they wanted me to work at night again on Thursday.”
    “This Thursday?”
    “Yes.”
    Detective Beam looked across at Agent Franks. “That’s tomorrow night. Did they tell you what they’d be working on?”
    “Oliver said it was the same as last time. But he told me to stay away from the auto shop. He said we’d work from another location.”
    “Did he tell you where?”
    “No. He said they’d let me know.”
    “Excuse us for a minute,” Agent Franks said. “We need to check on something. Detective Beam, can we have a word?”
    The two left again and shut the door.

    When the officers returned to Chase, Detective Beam asked a few more questions, starting with whether Chase had intended to work at the shop for a while.
    “No,” Chase answered. “I was only planning to work there over the summer. After working that one night shift, I had already decided to quit, and was going to let Oliver know, but the place was raided.” He lowered his head to his hands. “I wasn’t supposed to work that night at all. Someone was off sick, so they phoned me to come in.”
    “Is that what David told you?”
    Nodding, Chase tried to get his head around the fact David had been telling him what he wanted
