“Would you step outside, please. I need to speak with Avery in private.” She stood andMitch escorted her to the door. He closed it.

Avery watched him closely and hung up. “What’s going on?” he asked.

Mitch stood by the sofa. “The FBI just grabbed me as I was returning from Tax Court.”

“Damn! Who was it?”

“Same agent. Guy by the name of Tarrance.”

Avery picked up the phone and kept talking. “Where did it happen?”

“On the mall. North of Union. I was just walking alone, minding my own business.”

“Is this the first contact since that other thing?”

“Yes. I didn’t recognize the guy at first.”

Avery spoke into the receiver. “This is Avery Tolar. I need to speak to Oliver Lambertimmediately. … I don’t care if he’s on the phone. Interrupt him, and now.”

“What’s going on, Avery?” Mitch asked.

“Hello, Oliver. Avery here. Sorry for the interruption. Mitch McDeere is here in myoffice. A few minutes ago he was walking back from the Federal Building when an FBIagent approached him on the mall…. What? Yes, he just walked in my office and told meabout it. … All right, we’ll be there in five minutes.” He hung up. “Relax, Mitch. We’vebeen through this before.”

“I know, Avery, but this does not make sense. Why would they bother with me? I’m thenewest man in.”

“It’s harassment, Mitch. Pure and simple. Nothing but harassment. Sit down.”

Mitch walked to the window and looked at the river in the distance.

Avery was a cool liar. It was now time for the “they’re just picking on us”routine. Relax,Mitch. Relax? With eight FBI agents assigned to and the Director, Mr. Denton Voyleshimself, monitoring the case daily? Relax? He’d just been caught whispering to an FBIagent inside a dollar shoe store. And now he was forced to act like he was an ignorantpawn being preyed upon by the evil forces of the federal government. Harassment? Thenwhy was the goon following him on a routine walk to the courthouse? Answer that,Avery.
