CHAPTER 25
"Bobby Singer!" Sheriff Bud Cortland smiled. "May I have a word?"
Bobby flicked a glance outside and saw John getting into his truck. "Yeah, sure. Come on in."
He ushered the sheriff into his study and waved him into a chair. "What can I do for you?"
"I had a visit from the Feds yesterday," Cortland began. "I'm sure you don't need me telling you why."
"Nope."
"Thing is, boys in Pierre found an abandoned car this morning. Turns out it was stolen in Reno, just about the time your boy Winchester assaulted that police officer." He cocked an eyebrow. "Funny kinda coincidence, that car showing up so close to your place."
Bobby remained silent.
Cortland studied him for a moment. "I haven't forgotten what you did for me last year, Bobby," he went on. "I don't figure you for a man who'd harbor a murderer." He shrugged and got to his feet. "Anyway."
Bobby ushered the sheriff outside. John's truck was gone. Starting his car, Cortland said quietly, "Soon as they find out about that car, the Feds'll be back. And when they do, they'll have a warrant."
Mouth tightening, Bobby nodded and watched as Cortland drove away.
"Balls!"
