Chapter 72
After Dave made the introductions, he said, "We need aerial support. Do you have a helicopter?" He directed his question to Chief Carr.
"No, but I know where we can get one. The county has one, but we don't have anyone to fly it."
Dave looked at Sam. "Is your license still in effect?"
"Sure is and glad to do it," Sam answered.
Chief Carr got on the phone.
"This is Chief Carr from Hickoryville Police Department here with federal detectives. We need to request the county helicopter to search for a young woman who was recently abducted. The Feds have a licensed pilot of their own and I know you're supposed to fly so many hours a month on the chopper," Chief Carr said into the phone.
"Then this is a good thing, isn't it? And I'll take care of all the requisition forms, don't worry about it." Chief Carr spoke into the phone as he gave Dave a thumbs-up for the chopper.
"Okay, if that's the soonest you can have it ready, we'll take it then. See you in about two hours. Thanks!"
