Mimi was sitting at her desk working on some paperwork when Tad and Zach came into her office.
"Mimi we need to talk" Tad told her as Zach closed the door behind them.
"Oh look, its Laurel and Hardy " Mimi said with annoyance in her voice
"This is serious" Zach said as he walked up next to Tad
"Mimi" Tad started "we have some new evidence regarding Julia's case"
"Do I need to lock you two bozo's up for interfering with a police investigation again " Mimi said, still annoyed
"Well how about we contact your supervisors and inform them you refuse to consider new evidence in the case. " Zach said as he laid the folder on her desk
"Fine" Mimi said as she picked up the folder.
"See anyone you know ?" Zach asked
"It's a picture of Garret, so what." Mimi answered
"I guess the fact that he is with Dixie and the late Kevin Sturgis doesn't bother you" Tad pointed out
"So what" she protested "That doesn't prove anything. Garret is a respectable businessman involved with a lot of organizations in New York. He takes pictures with strangers all the time."
"Well what about this Mimi" Tad said as he handed her the valet parking ticket "Check the date. It's the same day the two of you got married. It was found on the road near where Julia gave your guys the slip"
"Tad, a lot of people were at the Yacht Club that night, it doesn't mean that belongs to Garret" Mimi said
"I find it to much of a coincidence that it was found where Julia went missing, and it has the same date and time on it as the time Dixie went to meet with the guy who is after Julia" Tad pointed out "The least you can do is have it dusted for prints"
"Before the guy who tried to kill Julia at Wildwind died " Zach started " he gave us some information. He told us the guy we are looking for goes by the name The Dragon"
"So what if Garret has a dragon tattoo, lots of people have them" Mimi announced
Tad and Zach just looked at each other.
"We want to talk to Garret " Zach announced
"No way, he has nothing to do with this " Mimi protested
"Look" Zach said "The guy at Wildwind said The Dragon was untouchable, you cant get any more untouchable then being married to the head of the task force"
"Mimi, if Garret has nothing to hide then there should be no problem with us asking him a few questions" Tad pointed out
Just as Tad finished, Garret walked into Mimi's office.
"Mr. Williams, mind if we ask you a few questions ? " Zach asked
"May I ask what this is about ?" Garret asked
"Garret" Mimi cut in "Just ignore these two. "
"Mr. Williams , we would just like to ask you a few questions regarding some missing women" Tad said
"Sure, " Garret started " I am not sure how I can help, but I will do what I can"
"What can you tell us about Julia Santos " Zach asked
"I'm afraid, I don't know who that is " Garret answered
"Well, how about Dixie Cooney " Tad asked
"I'm afraid there isn't much I can tell you about her either. I met her the night of our wedding. She stopped by to give her congratulations to me and Mimi. However Mimi was on a business call, so she introduced herself to me and we talked for a few minutes until Mimi got back." Garret started "Then of course I saw her here the other day. She said "Hello" but that was about it."
"Would you mind explaining to us how you ended up in a picture with Dixie, and the late Kevin Sturgis, if you never met her before the other night" Zach asked as he showed Garret the picture
"I am in pictures with a lot of people I don't know Mr. Slater. I am involved with a lot of organizations. I'm sure you know how that is" Garret answered with a smug look on his face "Look, I just came by to see if my wife would like to go out for an early dinner, but I can see she is busy here . So I will get out of your way and let you get back to what it is that you were discussing before I came in."
Garret walked over and gave Mimi a kiss on the cheek then left the office.
Once he was out of the building he made a phone call
