It was a while and a pile of nickels before the copying was finished. While the librarian bound the pages together, Bill picked up a couple of spare nickels and moved across to the payphone. He dialled the number for the station and waited for a response.
It didn't long for Bill to be connected to Lieutenant Yeager. "Any luck, Bill?" he asked. "If you're ready to come back to HQ, I can get a ride to you pretty fast. A couple of the guys are about to go off shift, and they're already on campus. They're Detectives Hendricks and Stoker. Hendricks is the brother of the sergeant from the firing range. You met them this morning at roll call. In fact, they're the guys Charlie assigned to tail Brian, but it looks like they lost him. Seems he got a buddy of his at his frat house to dress up like him and lead them away. They saw through it before long, but it was enough time that he could have slipped out. They're still watching the place just in case, and a couple of guys from the graveyard shift are coming to relieve them."
"Just stand outside the front entrance," said Yeager. "They'll come by in a few minutes. When you get back, we can all discuss the case. See you there."
Yeager hung up, and Bill went outside to wait for the detectives. He did not have to wait long.
