THEY REGROUPED in Josie’s office about half an hour after the limo returned. The station was nearly deserted. The morning watch commander waved at Josie as she unlocked her office door. She asked if everything was okay and the young lieutenant gave her an immediate thumbs-up sign.

Everyone agreed the most interesting thing that happened all night was the appearance of Captain Berry. Marge’s encounter with the men in the closed room was interesting, but she had no idea what the meeting was about or if it held any significance for their investigation. Berry had come alone and hadn’t stayed long, but he spent most of his time huddled with McClain.

“At the end there, who did you think you saw, Donnie?” Josie asked Fricke who’d been unusually quiet during the discussion. “By the way, you did a good job. I think Red’s got almost everybody’s name who was there, thanks to you.”

Fricke shifted his weight and tried to look unconcerned. “I dunno, Ma’am. I got a little punchy or something. Forget I mentioned it.”

“Who did you see?” Josie asked again. She trusted Fricke even when he doubted himself.

Staring at the floor, Fricke took a long breath and blew it out in frustration. He didn’t want to speak but was struggling to obey her and force the words out.

“Look, it might not mean anything, but I want to know who you thought you saw.” This time Josie said it in a way that didn’t leave any option for the young man to remain silent.

“If it weren’t you, I’d never say nothing to nobody.” He sighed and continued quickly, “I got a look out the kitchen door at a couple a guys that I thought for a second were John and Robin. When I got out there they were gone. That’s when I told you, but now I ain’t so sure it was them.”

“John and Robin?” Josie asked, looking at Behan and Marge. They both shrugged.

Josie turned to Fricke again and he said, “Sergeant Richards’ guys, John Marko and Robin Leeds.”
