Chapter 26

New York, October 23, 2013, 5:15 PM

The sound of an incoming call found Ronnie two blocks from Presbyterian Hospital, where Liah had been admitted. The number was unlisted.

“Good afternoon,” he answered, quickening his pace, hurrying to see Liah and also to warm himself a bit.

“Mr. Saar?” A resolute masculine voice was heard.

“Yes. Who’s asking?”

“This is Special Agent Archibald Bukowski from the FBI. I’d appreciate it if you could come to our office at 26 Federal Plaza. I’ll be waiting for you.”

“May I ask what this is about? I’m terribly busy at the moment. I’d love to meet with you tomorrow, anytime that would be convenient for you.”

“The time that’s convenient for me is right now. If you don’t get here in the next hour, I’ll get a warrant for your arrest and you’ll have the NYPD and the FBI looking for you. Ask for Special Agent Bukowski when you get here.” The phone went silent.

Twenty-five minutes later, Ronnie emerged from the exit of the number 5 subway at the corner of Chambers and Centre and began to march toward Broadway, where he turned right and headed to the FBI building.

“I have an appointment with Special Agent Bukowski,” Ronnie addressed the redhead behind the reception desk.

“Name?” She raised her eyes and gave him a bored look.

“Ronnie Saar.”

“Please sit down.” She pointed a chunky hand toward the black armchairs in the lobby.

Ronnie sat down, closed his eyes and waited, sunk in thought. Fifteen minutes later, he heard the receptionist calling his name, so he approached the reception desk.

“I need your ID, please.” She collected his driver’s license and gave him a visitor’s badge in return. “Please attach the badge to the right side of your jacket and don’t take it off while on the premises,” she recited. Then she added, “Take the elevator to the tenth floor. Agent Bukowski will be waiting for you.”

“Mr. Saar?” A stout man in his fifties was waiting for him when he stepped out of the elevator. He wore a gray suit, his tie hanging loosely from his neck. Ronnie nodded and followed the agent through the maze of corridors. Bukowski opened a door in one of the corridors and waited for Ronnie to step inside. Then he motioned to the only chair on the near side of the desk, which was not stacked with paperwork.

“Thanks for coming so quickly,” he began, speaking in a completely different tone than the one he’d used over the phone. “I invited you to have a conversation, and at this point, it’s just a conversation. I am interested to learn everything you know about the case at Mount Sinai in which a patient involved in a medical experiment you approved died.”

Ronnie managed to control the wave of panic that rose in him. “I’ll be happy to answer all your questions.”

“Why did you approve a procedure that could endanger lives?” the detective fired at him, giving him a hostile look.

“Before the procedure you are referring to, eleven identical clinical trials had been conducted; they were all successful.
