Ready to leave for work, Katie approached Marshall as he brushed his teeth in the small bathroom adjacent to their bedroom. She looked at his reflection and unveiled a smile. “I’m heading out now. Don’t forget I’ve got a class tonight, so I’ll be late. Call you later?”

Marshall nodded, a white foamy smile crossing his lips.

Katie stepped out onto the landing of their apartment, the noise of downtown filling her ears. It was seven a.m. and the cold air settled on her skin. The short walk to the parking garage meant she would have to brave the crisp fall morning, forgoing the jacket tossed over her forearm.

Upon sighting her car, nestled between a Mercedes and an Audi, she pressed the remote to unlock it. Her small SUV paled in comparison to the much more expensive vehicles flanking either side of her. This building was home to many wealthy individuals who had purchased their units when the market was at its peak. She had to snicker a little. The mortgage on their two-bedroom was likely a paltry figure compared to what these people faced.

Pulling out onto E Street, Katie contemplated making the call to Scarborough. She thought a private conversation would be in order in this particular case. Katie was housed in a cubicle at work where ears listened intently and with great interest. She was not immune to the hushed conversations that still sometimes occurred at the proverbial water cooler. Although most of the people she worked with empathized with her past, others remained envious of her position and the fact that she had attained it so quickly. So, eavesdropping on a conversation with the FBI on what had become an increasingly noteworthy case wasn’t an option for Katie. It would quite possibly be used against her by those who pressed on others as rungs on a ladder.

Katie made the call.

After more than a few rings, a voice found its way through. “Agent Scarborough.”

“Nick, it’s me, Katie. I got your email this morning…”

But before she could continue, he spoke. “Thanks for calling, Katie, but listen; now’s not a good time. I’m in Colorado and heading to the coroner’s office. I’ll keep this brief. If you’re interested, I’d like to send you some information on the case. Just to get a fresh pair of eyes on it. It’ll have to be off the record, you understand?”

“Yeah. Okay. I’d be happy to see what you’ve got. But Nick, why me?”

“You know why, Katie. My intuition hasn’t failed me yet and it’s telling me you could be a vital part of this investigation, but no one can know about it. Not yet anyway. As much as my ASAC likes you, he wouldn’t appreciate me going to you with this. But, I just got a feeling.”

“Okay, well, I was going to ask you if I could relay any information to Aguilar.”

“Can’t talk about that now, Katie. Gotta run. But, for now, let’s just keep this between you and me. I’ll send you what I’ve got later and I’ll be in touch.
