Agent Tillis remerged from the hospital corridor, capturing Stallard’s attention. He nudged Kate. “Here he comes. Fingers crossed.”

Kate watched him approach but he had the most unreadable face she’d ever seen on anyone. No hints revealed as to how the interview went. As he neared, she swallowed hard and waited for him to speak.

Tillis kept his head low and his hands in his pockets. He tilted up his gaze as he stopped in front of them, and the corner of his mouth raised slightly. “He recognized him.”

Stallard licked his lips as if anticipating a juicy steak dinner. “And? Did he give us a name?”

“Danny. He said the man’s name was Danny. I tried to get more out of him, but he went into cardiac arrest. They couldn’t bring him back. He’s gone.”

Kate put her hand over her mouth and closed her eyes for a moment. She took in a deep breath and with her shoulders back, she continued. “Under no circumstances can we let this get out to the media. This is our chance. Danny, you said?” She eyed Tillis for a moment. “He’s on edge. He doesn’t know what condition his victim is in or whether he talked to the authorities. The moment he learns Jeff Hardy is dead, we lose our advantage. He’ll think he got lucky and redouble his efforts, making zero mistakes in the future.”

“I agree,” Stallard replied. “We’re coming at this from three different angles, and now we have a name. If he thinks we’re as close as we are…”

“He’ll go dark,” Tillis replied. “Let me take care of the media. I’ll get with my ASAC and make sure this doesn’t get leaked.” He peered outside. “Which might be tougher than we think.”

Kate spotted the media van through the glass doors. “Shit. Is there a back exit? We have to get out of here.”

Stallard walked to the front desk. “Hey, uh, we can’t talk to those guys out there right now. Any chance someone can show us a way out through the back?”

The nurse peered through the entrance doors and picked up the phone. “Yes, of course. I’ll take care of that for you.” When the line answered, she continued. “Hank, you mind coming up to the lobby? I have some federal agents who need to slip away before the media hounds them to death. Thanks.” She returned her attention to Stallard. “Hank is our head of security. He’ll get you guys out.”

“Appreciate you.” He offered her a sincere smile and headed back to the others. “We’re about to be escorted out of here.”

The lobby doors opened and a man with a microphone hurried inside, followed by a camera man. He spotted the agents, whose appearance did little to deny their roles. “Excuse me? Stuart Ramon, Action News Four, are you the FBI? What do you know about the latest Robinhood victim?” He thrust a microphone in Kate’s face while motioning for his camera man to move in.

She wanted to shove the microphone right back at him and tell him how he was glorifying a murderer.
