Nervously, Charlie glanced at Eddie, whose bovine cheeks were now rigid. The sweet sentiment evoked by Mama’s name had vanished from his eyes. His lips had become a thin, grayish-red gash across his face.

“I simply said that…” his voice trailed off… “that Nor Kely and Bily Campbel seemed a little upset when they came out of your office after your mother’s satelite visit.”

“Why didn’t you tel us they were there?”

“Junior, there was no reason. Why would I have told you? I thought you knew.”

“Eddie, the door was open from the reception room, wasn’t it?” Junior asked.

“Yeah.”

“Al right, Charlie. You should have told us they folowed us in. You should have known it would be important for us to know. Now you’re going to have to make a few cals to the songbirds.” He paused deliberately. “I think you know what I’m talking about.”

I guess that’s the end of the questions and the depositions, Sterling thought as he watched the FBI personnel shaking hands with Nor, Bily, Dennis, and Sean. It was now eleven o’clock. For the past two hours, the FBI had been taking sworn statements from the four. They even had Nor and Bily draw a floor plan to show where they were standing when they heard Hans Kramer’s voice on the answering machine and Junior’s order to burn the warehouse.

“Ms. Kely, you’re sure the Badgetts didn’t suspect that you were in the room right outside their office?” Rich Meyers, the head investigator, asked again as he picked up his briefcase. “As I explained, if they knew you overheard them, you’d need to be protected immediately.”

“I don’t think they knew. From what I understand about the brothers, if they had seen us they probably would have caled off their plans for the fire.” Nor readjusted the comb that was holding her hair in place. “There’s an old expression, ‘I feel like something the cat dragged in.’…

My mother used to say that, Sterling thought.

“…and that’s exactly the way I feel now. If you’re done with me, I’m going to go home, climb in the Jacuzzi, and then get a couple of hours’ sleep.”

“A very good idea,” Meyers said sympatheticaly. “Al right. We’l be in touch with you. In the meantime go about your business as usual.”

Sounds easy, Sterling thought. Unfortunately it’s not going to work like that.

Sean O’Brien lingered only a minute after the federal officers left. “I’l keep you posted,” he promised.

“Dennis, why don’t you take the day off?” Nor suggested. “Pete can handle the bar.”
