Iron River
“Hood turned down the radio news. Chester’s head shone in late-night security lights, and his pale suit rippled as he walked and he was looking down as if in thought.
There were lights still coming through the blackened windows on the first and third floors, but from this distance Hood couldn’t see in. The building was ringed by a metal fence. Eight vehicles were parked in the Pace lot, mostly older economy cars, one nicely lowered Chevy Malibu, and one battered van. Hood recorded the license pl...ate numbers in a small notebook.
Chester Pace strode into the parking structure, and a moment later a black Lincoln Town Car came into view, listing to port, tires whistling on the concrete ramp. The Lincoln lurched to a stop at the pay booth, and Chester punched something into the keypad and the arm raised. Hood wrote down the plate numbers in his small notebook and slipped the notebook back into his coat pocket. He turned the news back up.
Four hours later, just after five A.M., twelve men came from the building in a loose group, all Latino, early twenties to sixties.MoreLess
