Last week Deputy Miller came into the shop to ask the whereabouts of Dennis' brother. Continuing on where we left off, Dennis' last line was that he and his brother were engine people, not cell phone people...
“Fair enough.” Miller replied, “He didn’t mention any specific place? The lady that filed was really concerned.”
“He might have mentioned going to Vegas to try to win big, that was three weeks ago.”
“You’re not concerned that he didn’t return?”
“No, he does this shit all the time; my guess is he met someone in Vegas and took off somewhere with them, decided not to come back, maybe someone to pay his way."
Miller looked at me.
“Its not like he sends me fucking postcards.” I paused, “I don’t know if you know, but Derrick and I don’t really have a good relationship. Honestly, the shop is a lot quieter without him, might be double the work for me but at least I don’t have to argue with him all day.”

DeleteOK. Now I'm pretty sure he didn't have anything to do with his brother's disappearance, or he wouldn't be implicating himself all over the place.
