Lee began the drive with Carl Miller as his reluctant passenger. “So tell me who approached you.”

“About what?” Miller asked.

“Don't fuck with me,” Lee said. “About switching the Wheeling and Ruston records for Consolidated and making some records disappear.”

Miller was quiet.

“What now?” Lee asked.

“I'm not sure I want to do this,” Miller replied.

“What?” Lee snarled. “We've been through this shit.”

“I don't think you know what you are asking here,” Miller said, defensively.

“Okay,” Lee replied calmly. He said nothing further. Lee drove for about ten minutes into the downtown area and pulled up in front of the Police Department.

“What are you doing?” Miller asked, sounding panicked.

Lee turned off the car. “I am not wasting my time with you. We had an agreement. Now you tell me you're not sure you are going to cooperate. Okay, your choice. So let's just go talk to the cops, and they can contact the FBI for us. We'll all meet right here, and you can explain everything to their satisfaction.” He opened the car door and got out. He leaned in and said, “Let's go.”

“You are blackmailing me,” Miller said, without moving.

Lee looked back into the car and stared at him. “And your point is?”

“There could be people very unhappy with me coming forward.”

“Yep. Could be. You ready to walk in or do you need help?” Lee said evenly.

“All right, all right. I'll do it. I'll tell you.”

“Good,” Lee said, getting back into the car. “But just so that we understand each other, this is going to be the last time this happens. You stop talking again, and I will drag your ass to the closest FBI office. I am not going to fuck around with you.”

“I understand,” Miller said, resignation in his voice.

“So who approached you?” Lee asked as he started the car.

“A guy who called himself Mr. Valentine.”

Lee furrowed his brow. “Who was this Mr. Valentine?”

“I don't know.”

“Where did he approach you?”

“I was having lunch at a restaurant called Boca, sitting outdoors on the patio. This guy walked up to my table, pulled out a chair and sat down. I was puzzled, and I said, “Can I help you?”

The guy looked at me and said, “No, but you can help you.”

“What did he look like?” Lee asked.

“He had a closely trimmed beard and a moustache and dark eyes. He was tall and thin.”

“Then what?” Lee asks.

“Then I listened, and he told me that he needed some records fixed. He said that the records for the Ruston and Wheeler mines needed to be switched. Ruston needed to become Wheeler and Wheeler needed to become Ruston, and whatever documents are inconsistent with that realignment needed to disappear.” Lee nodded and waited for him to continue. “I told him I have no idea who you are and that we had nothing to talk about. The guy just stared at me. And then he said it's going to be easy. You know how to deal with the physical files, and we can help with the clearances needed for the electronic files.
