Part 3, Chapter 6 Summary: “KISSES ON THE MIDWAY”

The next morning, Hodges takes his father’s old gun out of the safe and puts the Happy Slapper in his pocket. Hodges, Jerome, and Holly set out to track down the IT Specialist who worked on Olivia Trelawney’s computer. Peeples, the security guard, tells them the Cyber Patrol run by Discount Electronix has been in the neighborhood several times. The IT team at Discount Electronix is comprised of only three people. One of them is Brady Hartsfield, who matches Hodges’s profile of the Mercedes killer.

Jerome and Hodges find Holly already sitting on the curb in front of Discount Electronix. She found emails from Discount Electronix on Olivia’s computer and drove herself to the store in the Mercedes. Inside the store, Brady’s coworker Freddi Linklatter gives Hodges Brady’s address.

Waiting on the sidewalk for Hodges, Holly asks Jerome whether, if Hodges doesn’t find Brady in the store, they might go across the street to the frozen yogurt shop. The question triggers Jerome’s memory, and he realizes Brady was the driver of the ice cream truck.

When Hodges learns Brady has been prowling his neighborhood selling ice cream, he remembers his neighbor Mrs. Melbourne telling him the ice cream man looked suspicious.
