He called the private cell phone number given to

canvas by Pat-ton French, but of course the great man was too busy.
Ray wanted to thank him for his hospitality, but what he really wanted was to
see if they had made any progress down there icing the Priest gang. He would
never ask that question directly, but a blowhard like French would happily
deliver the news if he had it.
French had probably forgotten about him.
He didn't really care if the Priest boys nailed Ray or the next guy. He needed
to make a half a billion or so in mass tort schemes, and
cheap authentic louis vuitton bag
outlet that took all his energies. Indict a guy like French, for
payoffs or contract killings, and he'd hire fifty lawyers and buy every clerk,
judge, prosecutor, and juror.
He called Corey Crawford and got the news
that the landlord had once again repaired the doors. The police had promised to
keep an eye on the place for the next few days, until he returned.
The
van pulled into the driveway shortly after 6 P.M. A smiling face jumped out with
a thin overnight envelope, which Ray stared at long after it had been delivered.
The airbill was

from the University of Virginia School of Law, hand-addressed to Mr. Ray Atlee,
Maple Run, 816 Fourth Street, Clariton, MS, dated June 2, the day before.
Everything about it was suspicious.
No one at the law school had been
given the address in Clan-ton. Nothing from there would be so urgent as to
require an overnight delivery. And he could think of no reason whatsoever that
the school would be sending him anything. He opened another beer and returned to
the front steps, where he grabbed the damned thing and ripped it open.

legal-size envelope, with the word "Ray" hand-scrawled on the outside. And on
the inside, another of the now familiar color photos of Chaney's Self-Storage,
this time the front of unit 18R. At the bottom, in a wacky font of mismatched
letters, was the message: "You don't need an airplane. Stop spending the
money."
These guys were very, very good. It was tough enough to track
down the three units at Chaney's and take pictures of them. It was gutsy and
also stupid to burn up the Bonanza. Oddly, though, what was most impressive at
the
chanel
bags outlet moment was their ability to swipe an airbill from the
business office at the law school.
After a prolonged moment of shock, he
realized something that should have been immediately obvious. Since they'd found
18R, then they knew the money wasn't there. It wasn't at Chaney's, nor at his
apartment. They'd followed him from Virginia to Clan-ton, and if he'd stopped
somewhere along the way to hide the money, they would know it. They'd probably
rummaged through Maple Run again, while he was on the coast.
