Chapter 20

Toni was sitting at her desk on Thursday morning when Chloe buzzed her. “There’s a Mr. Doug Bradley on line three for you.”

“Thanks, Chloe.” Toni wondered who that could be. She punched line three. “This is Toni Barston.”

“Um, hi. I need to talk to you. It’s super important. I have information about Kevin Tucker.”

“Okay. It’s Doug Bradley, right?” She was jotting down notes.

“Yeah, that’s me. Meet me at two o’clock at Homer’s and I’ll tell you everything I know.” His voice sounded shaky.

“Can’t you just tell me now?”

“Uh, no. Not on the phone. I need to tell you in person, okay? I gotta go. I’ll see you there at two.”

The phone disconnected and Toni stared at the receiver. Hmm. The guy was probably scared, she thought. Homer’s was only a few miles away. She looked at her calendar and saw she had nothing on the docket this afternoon. Maybe this Doug guy could give her the information they needed to crack this case. And if he had enough information, maybe Anne could offer him immunity from prosecution. She called her boss first and then Boggs to fill her in.

“I don’t think you should meet this guy by yourself,” Boggs said. “I can rearrange a couple things and go with you.”

“No. I’ll be fine. It’s in a public place. I don’t want to scare the guy off. If I can get enough information, I’ll try to convince him to talk to Vicky.”

“I don’t know,” Boggs said. “But, well, I guess as long as you call me as soon as you’re done, okay?”

“I will. Promise.” Toni was smiling. She loved the fact that Boggs worried about her. “I’ll call you as soon as I get back. I love you.”

“I love you, too, babe.”
