GP721 Preacher Finds a Corpse - Chapters 38 and 39 (27:21 minutes)
Chapter 38
Thursday Evening
Rich Hill
Phil rented Evan an anonymous-black, all-wheel-drive Subaru Forester, which came with a dandy new set of snow tires. The preacher was pleased because here was a car with more heft and traction, much less likely to put him in a ditch.
Unless someone chases me there, that is.
He thanked Phil profusely and sent him home, an exile the fellow did not appreciate. “Let me know if there’s anything else I can do,” he said hopefully, then added, “and be careful out there.”
The car had a full tank of gas, so Evan wouldn’t need to stop anytime soon to refuel. He figured the motel was still the safest place to hang out. When he got into the Subaru and fired it up, the first thing he did was plug in his phone.
Then he turned GPS tracking off on the phone, as he’d already done on Bob’s. And he punched through the soft menu on the Subaru. Sure enough, it also had a built-in location finder, so he turned it off.
He’d have to pass through Butler on his route back north on I-49 to Peculiar, but by now it would be after-hours at the law office. Not wanting to alert the lawyer about who was calling by using Bob’s phone, Evan used his own to leave voicemail, requesting an appointment first thing tomorrow at Bailey’s office. He said he wanted to discuss probate matters. He didn’t identify himself as the executor of Bob’s will, just gave his name as a prospective new client.
