Jimmy smoked while pondering the meaning behind James's words but couldn't figure it out. He took out his phone and dialed his former boss at the county police, Cage.
Jimmy, "Cage, are you working?"
Cage, "Yes, I'm patrolling right now. What's up? Calling me at this hour, what's happened?"
Jimmy, "Has there been anything going on recently around Little Rock? It's about James."
Cage, "Hold on a sec." Cage pulled his police car over to the side of the road, "Have you heard anything on your end? I haven't noticed anything strange."
Jimmy, "I'm clueless here, but I'll come over after you get off work late today."
Cage, "Understood, I'll wait for you."
Jimmy ended the call, threw away his cigarette butt and lit another, his mood irritable. After finishing his cigarette, Jimmy went back to Ray's office. Seeing Ray still investigating Jeff's clues, he didn't feel like intervening. The leads in this case had already become clear anyway.
