to hear. Swallowing hard, he brushed a hand through his hair. “Yes, he did. He wanted me to get some automotive certifications so I could stick to working on cars during the day.”
    “And how did you learn about this upcoming night shift?”
    “While I was working on the cars during the day, I overheard what their plans were. They never really hid much information from me. Maybe they wanted me to hear. Before that night, I was loyal to them, and I couldn’t imagine coming here to inform on them like this. But after they made me participate… and then threatened Meg—well, they should never have gotten me involved. Now I have to protect her.”
    “Didn’t you ever stop to think the best way of protecting her might have been to leave the chop shop?”
    “As soon as I worked that night shift and saw the drugs, I decided I would quit. That was only a few nights ago. The shop is still closed since the raid, so I haven’t worked there since that night. I don’t deny I should have made better choices. I should never have started working there in the first place. If I hadn’t, at least she’d be safe from them. The problem is, I was given bad information. When I started, I was told it was a legitimate auto shop…It’s only after I worked there, I got the sense there was more to it, and all of that was confirmed the when I worked that late night shift.”
    “Unfortunately, that’s how many guys like you get involved. As soon as we find your girlfriend, we’ll put the two of you into protective custody. Tell us again about the night shift you worked. Don’t leave anything out.”
    “I knew something more was going on from the time I walked into the shop. There were mostly luxury cars in the work bays, and none of them had been there during the day. They had me remove VIN plates from the cars. When I objected, they said I could help, or I could leave. I was wrong to stay, but I did. At one point, I went to look for David in a back room. That’s when I saw the drugs. David gave me a pair of gloves and told me to put them in the paneling of the cars. I refused and they didn’t push the issue. The rest of them wore gloves and hid the drugs in the cars.”
    “Have you got any idea where those cars might have ended up?”
    “No, I don’t. They mentioned somewhere in Eastern Europe, but apart from that, I wasn’t told anything else. I didn’t ask. I didn’t want to get too involved.”
    “You said you overheard things.”
    “I know a couple of dates when they’ll have cars in, although they might change that if they know I’ve spoken to you. Normally, according to David, they get a new shipment with a couple days’ notice, and the big boss doesn’t like to it when they work on more than three or four shipments per month.”
    “Do you know who the big boss is?”
    “From what I overheard, he’s someone who owns several businesses in San Diego.”
    “Or she.” Detective Weaver smiled at Chase. “The big boss might be female. Did they ever mention the gender or did you assume the person was male?”
    “I don’t know.” Chase thought back to the conversations he’d had with people about the big boss, but he didn’t seem to get anywhere with that. “I can’t remember. All I know is the chop shop is one of about eight. I don’t know where they are, though. Every time I asked if Mr. Moscov was the big boss, Oliver and David would tell me to mind my own business. I asked my mother if she or Mr. Moscov knew anything about it, and she said they didn’t.”
    “Tell us what you know about the shipment coming in tomorrow.”
    “I overheard David complaining about how close it was to this last one we worked on a few nights ago. He likes there to be a bit more time in between, so no one gets too suspicious. But the location will be different, because of the raid.”
    “Do you know where?”
    “I already told you I don’t know.”
    “And how soon will they tell you?”
    “Probably on the day itself.
