Chapter 31

At six AM the clock went off. Jenny turned it off as I looked into her eyes and kissed her lightly at first, and then with a little passion, of course I added a little tongue just to tease her. I saw Jen looking over me so I knew Lorrie was awake and watching. I turned worked my arm under her then rolled back planting her between Jen and me. We kissed and hugged, I got a little carried away kissed her hard on the lips and slipped her a little tongue that surprised her. I immediately apologized. Lorrie said "don't be, it surprised me but it was wonderful do it any time you like, it just may take me a little while to get used to that kind of affection again".

We had a quick breakfast. Lorrie rode with me in the truck. Jenny followed in her state car. The plan was I was going to stay at the college all day then do my night shift Lorrie would come home with Jenny and they would pick up Jenny's personal car for her to use back and forth to the college. Yes Lorrie was going to be staying with us for a while.

The interviews went off on schedule without a hitch. When we all the information together. The suspect had been following several students around off campus for several days. Yesterday had been the first day he had ventured on campus that we knew of.

The ball was now in the forensics team hands. They seized multiple bags of evidence to sort through including a laptop and a desk top along with several cell phones. The hard drives in both computers had been wiped. The tech people thought they could be restored, but it would take several weeks to do that. The simms cards from the phones were intact so that may help.

My response to that was whatever was on there that he wanted gone was backed up some where, a thumb drive, cd or dvd. Maybe e-mailed to another account, but it was somewhere. I asked if Jen and I could accompany the investigators on another sweep of the property. They would get back to me on that. We were done by noon.

Since I had time to kill, and it wasn't worth going home to try to sleep, then come back; I decided that I would check out the auditorium / field house that I was going to use for the anti rape program I was going to do there. I came up with the final layout and a list of the things I would need.

I went the local Suffering States outdoor store to see if I could work out a deal to rent, or borrow, several dozen large potted plants or trees. I lucked out there they were getting ready to get rid of the seasonal plants and trees that hadn't sold this summer. The hot weather had taken its toll on them. I could have them as long as I disposed of them when I was finished. All I needed to do was to return the large tubs they were in.

I called the maintenance department, and they agreed to send a truck and trailer right away if I would help load them. A little physical labor would never hurt me so I agreed. When the trailer arrived the manager came out with a front end loader and made short work of that project. The maintenance guys said they would leave them on the trailer and keep them watered until I needed them.
