creepy for most women. When she’s approached, she shuts down any further talk until they’re right back here in chambers.

It won’t be seen as unusual that a judge would want absolute privacy when exploring something illegal.” I caught both Sam and Suzanne nodding their agreement.

“So we wire this room? As you said, most of her confi dential conversations with attorneys will take place here. We’re back to the same problem.”

“See that laptop over there?” I pointed at the computer Suzanne had sitting on the credenza behind her. “It has a web cam that no one will know is recording unless she tells them. She brings the guy back here, positions the laptop behind her under the guise of shutting it off, and sets it up to record. You get one conversation on tape. There won’t be any room for denial when it’s all over.”

Now it was Doug who pushed back in his chair and folded his arms, regarding me. “I can see why the mayor fi nds you so valuable.”

“Are we done for now?” My part of this with Suzanne was over. Let them fi gure out the rest on their own.

He nodded at me then rose to shake Suzanne’s hand before leaving without another word. Sam looked a little lost as to what to do but eventually clued in to follow his boss.

Suzanne sat back down and regarded me with a smile. “You got dragged into this to smooth it over with me? I have to say as sucking up goes, they chose the right person to help achieve that.”

“Are you saying I suck up to you?” I tossed back, already eager to start up our usual banter. Conversing with her had become a favorite hobby of mine.

“You’re a huge suck up. Don’t think I didn’t know exactly what you were doing when we went to the zoo last weekend. You know I love animals.”

Objection

I gave a sinister laugh and twirled a fake mustache. “Yes, I do.”

“Would I be right in assuming this has something to do with the drug deal I witnessed?”

Laughing outright, I admitted, “Yep. She’ll be the case we dangle for this guy.”

Suzanne let the amusement fade. “Is she a concern for you?”

Her worry was genuine. We’d only known each other for six weeks but already she’d become a good friend and, if anything sexual ever happened between us, a wonderful girlfriend.

“She’s the niece of a friend of mine. We’re somewhere between acquaintance and friend. More like obligation. She did something stupid; I bailed her out. I wasn’t going to help her this time, but now, it seems I have to.”

Her hand covered mine. I wanted to cling to it to make the contact more intimate. “You don’t have to get involved. We can wait this person out.”

“It’s better this way, actually. She needed to take the plea agreement, but she was being stubborn. This will force her hand.”

Suzanne studied me for a long moment. She lifted my hand in hers and kissed my knuckles. A shiver ran through my body.
