Ben keeps an eye on the news out of Harrow. He’s set up alerts on his personal laptop. It’s a new laptop. Recently purchased. He hasn’t used the other one since it was hacked. He’s put it to the back of his closet, handles it like a poisonous snake.

He gets a notification about the fire at the bar and the eight men killed inside. Names haven’t been released, but Ben can guess at least one of them. He knows which bar it was without even checking. He’s the one who told Tom about it.

Shortly after he reads about this incident, he receives a call from Tom. “I assume the fire is your handiwork?” he says.

“You’re asking something you already know the answer to,” Tom says. “And one you’re complicit in.”

“I’m aware.”

“Then don’t waste my time with stupid questions. I haven’t been able to get any information yet. Nothing about the mole, nothing about the attack.”

“Then why are you calling?”

“Because I have a man on the inside now.”

Ben is surprised to hear this. “Really? Who?”

“Steve Reid.”

“Peter’s brother?”

“Yes. They weren’t close.”

“You trust him?”

“He saved my brother. I trust him as much as I need to. And if I can’t, I’ll kill him. He’s not a great threat.”

“You asked him about the mole, the attack?”

“Yes. He didn’t know anything, but I’ve pressed him to dig deeper. He was surprised to hear about the attack. Said he couldn’t imagine the Right Arm plotting something like it.”

“Yeah, well, all the evidence we’ve got suggests otherwise. Anything else?”

“No.”

“Keep me updated.”

Tom hangs up. Ben looks at the phone in his hand. He puts it away, thinks to himself how Anthony must be the more talkative of the two. He at least got a goodbye out of him at the end of their conversations.
