Mel’s reflections were interrupted by a knock on the door. He looked up to see Detective Lappin standing there with a man and a woman, who he assumed were the Delaneys. He invited them to take a seat around the small conference table set up perpendicular to his desk in your basic armless Port Authority uncomfortable chairs. He quickly introduced himself and gave a brief history of his experience at the DAO and prior relationship with Detective Lappin, whom he described to the couple as “one sharp, perceptive and highly skilled” detective. “And he says you might have important information about the Wylie-Hoffert case.”

Jimmy Delaney grinned and shot a glance at the detective. “I thought you might want to talk to me,” he said, and then looked at Glass. “I can dig it, but I ain’t giving this away. I might need it someday.” He paused and then, as if unable to keep completely quiet about the information, added, “I will say that the cops already talked to the cat who did those girls.”

“When?” Glass asked.

“Right after it all went down. When the cops were pulling everybody and their mothers in for questioning.”

Glass looked at Delaney, who held his gaze rather than looking away, a sign that he might be telling the truth. “So you really believe your guy did it?”

The drug addict leaned forward as he looked Glass in the eyes. His breath smelled like he hadn’t brushed in days and his sallow face had several days’ growth of beard. But he spoke clearly and earnestly when he said, “I know he did it. He came to my pad about noon that day and said he was in trouble because he just killed two chicks during a burglary. He had blood on his pants and he wanted a change of clothes, and he wanted to shoot up.”

Delaney then leaned back in the chair and crossed his arms. “Now that’s all we’re going to say, man,” he added, nodding at his wife.
