AN ATTENDANT BROUGHT the cordless phone to Anita Riordan as she lay on a massage table having her skin buffed with a mixture of oils and crushed pearls. She lifted her head, grown heavy from the deep massage she’d had prior to the buffing process. With effort she placed the phone to her ear.

“Just letting you know we spotted a suspicious plane over the bridge site this morning,” Barnaby said. “Then we got a call from one of our drivers about some nut buzzing the casino site. Same color plane. I figure it was Adam and his aerial-photography friend.”

Anita’s facial muscles contracted as she frowned. She made a conscious effort to relax them. “So what are you going to do about it? One more delivery and we’re finished. It would be a shame to”

“Don’t worry. I’ll deal with it.”

Anita swore under her breath. She should have dragged out the divorce proceedings another few months, but she’d become so tired of the endless haggling, and Adam hadn’t seemed the least suspicious about the steel shortages. But he was suspicious now. And she was far from convinced that Barnaby could handle him.

“How will you deal with it?” she asked.

“I’ll get the film. Without pictures he won’t be able to prove anything.”

“And you think he’ll just hand you the film?”

“Don’t worry, Anita. I’ll get it.”

She felt a headache coming on. She’d have to have her shoulders remassaged. “See that you do,” she said, and punched the disconnect button on the phone before handing it to the attendant and repositioning herself on the table. She wished she had more confidence in Barnaby’s mental capacities. And less fear of Adam’s.
