A plan
The police had a plan after speaking with James and knew that he was going to be able to help them catch Cray. They were going to have to borrow his dog for a few days and attach a GPS to it. They promised James that nothing bad would happen to him.
James was worried that the police were going to use his dog as bait and that they were playing with his life. But the police assured him that once the dog was set free in Cray’s neighborhood, he would lead them right to him and they would be able to arrest him.
