Chapter 9

Why had Murray come here if he already knew where this Ira person lived? “And when was this?”

Murray shrugged. “Fifty years or so ago.”

“Go.” Edie squeezed Archie’s arm. “Just do it. It’ll take you a few hours to get there, but you should be able to find him before dawn if he’s still in the same place. It’s the best chance we have.”

“It’s Wednesday.”

“I know, honey.” The smile she gave him was tired. “A month off if you make it.”

He sighed, the sound of his heart drowning out the rain on the windows as he pictured himself walking out into the night. “Isn’t there anyone closer?” He directed the question to Murray who shrugged.

“I don’t know, I haven’t kept track of them.”
