Darren awakens the next day to a call from his lieutenant Wilson who is upset Darren is in Lark. Darren should not be there, as it is out of his jurisdiction and he is on suspension. Wilson was the person who hired Darren and has been an advocate for him when others did not understand Darren’s passion for eradicating racially motivated crime. Wilson also knew Darren’s uncle William. Wilson learned of Darren’s presence in Lark because Randie called the Chicago Tribune, who in turn, called Wilson. Darren tells him his hunch that something is amiss with the local investigation of the drownings. Darren wants Wilson to reinstate him so he can conduct a proper investigation and arrange a meeting with Sheriff Parker. Darren will report to Wilson daily on his findings and complete his investigation in less than a week. Wilson hesitantly agrees to the terms. Darren also asks him about the status of the case against Mack, but there have been no further developments. Wilson warns him to proceed with restraint and caution with the local authorities and to subdue Randie’s emotional inquiries. Randie’s car is missing. Darren had her keys in his room. The motel desk clerk let her in his room overnight while he was asleep.
