Page 85 of An Unexpected Home

“Ray Scott.” He had the handshake of a man who had been doing this job a long time.

“I really appreciate you coming out.”

“I hope I can help,” he said and Brandon led him in the house.

“My girlfriend is sleeping but she is out cold so I don’t think we will wake her.”

“That’s the one that this guy is after, right?”

“Unfortunately, yes.”

“Well, show me what you’ve got and let’s try and get this guy.”

They went through file after file and page after page of info they had on Will Huntington. They were almost to the end when Ray stopped and held up a piece of paper.

“This here says that Will is a diabetic.”

“Okay,” Brandon said.

“It also says that he has to take insulin shots every day.”

“Oh shit,” Brandon said, finally getting it. “That means he has to be getting his insulin from somewhere.”

“That’s right,” Ray said. “So if we can figure out where he is getting it, we can find him.”

Brandon set the paper down and stared in awe of the man in front of him. “I would have never thought of that.”

“I’ve been doing this a long time, son. Don’t worry, you’ll get there.”

They both stood. “Thank you so much.”

“Let me know if you need any more help.” Brandon walked him to the door. “Oh and if you see Tony, tell him to call his mom.”

Brandon laughed because that is exactly what his own dad would have said.

Closing the door, he thought about waking up Leah with the good news but decided instead to start making calls to pharmacies. Right now he just had a lead and he’d rather go to her with something more substantial.
