Darren calls Greg to expedite the autopsies for both victims. Greg tells him that he is now official in the investigation. Greg offers to come and assist if the local authorities are being difficult, but Darren says, “I’m local law enforcement now” (116). Greg mentions that the FBI may be interested, and Darren knows Greg is still looking for an opportunity for notoriety. Darren tells him it is not a good idea and asks for more information about Keith Dale, particularly about his incarceration. Greg is audibly disappointed and then tells Darren that Lisa called him. Darren has forgotten to call her and explain why he did not come home. Randie is angry that Darren had access to the autopsy and did not tell her and frustrated over the meeting with Van Horn. Darren reminds her there is a certain way to deal with local cops. Randie discusses how Darren and Michael both share the same skewed views of Texas and don’t notice its problems. Darren is adamant his objectivity isn’t compromised by love for his home state, just a desire for equality. Randie is still angry Michael was even in Lark. Darren thinks internally about how much he loves his home just as Michael did.
