• Police Headquarters, 4:47 p.m.

Curtis Edwards lets them in and points to the chairs in front of Superintendent Féroce’s desk as she’s in her captain’s chair behind it, a cell phone pressed to her ear. Féroce talks fast and turns to them to roll her eyes. She’s in a white blouse and Beau hopes she’s not wearing a khaki skirt or slacks. The inspectors sit across from Féroce, Edwards settles at his small desk off to the right of the chief.

Edwards clears his throat, says, “She’s up to date about the girl at Ochsner and the body found in Arkansas.”

Let them think she’s still at Ochsner.

Féroce hangs up and looks at Beau who nods to Juanita and introduces her. Féroce gets up and so does Juanita and they meet around the side of the desk, Beau stands slowly and is relived to see the chief’s skirt is blue.

“How is the victim?” Féroce goes back to her captain’s chair and sits.

“She’s OK. We showed her pictures of the other girls, including the Secretary’s daughter but she says she never saw either. Juanita has information on the man who tried to kill her.”

“The body in Arkansas, shot by Consuela Suarez.” Juanita gives the information on George Galadrescu of Saint Paul, Minnesota, then looks to Beau.

“Galadrescu was a member of a Romanian Organized Crime Operation called The Bucuresti. Our Intelligence Division and LSP Intelligence has nothing on Romanian OC here in the city. So, we need your help …”

Féroce finishes his sentence. “ … to contact the Feds.”

“With your state department background, we thought …”

The chief nods, raises her cell and says, “I have a better idea.” She scrolls through her contact list, taps her iPhone and raises it to her ear.

“Janet Féroce calling for Secretary Brookings. Is this Ms. Mavers?” A few seconds later the superintendent says, “You have my cell number. Ask her to call when she can. Thank you.” She hangs up, looks at Beau and shrugs. “Cabinet meeting.” She nods at Juanita. “Can you leave that information with me?”

Juanita stands and slides a sheet of paper across the desk.

Féroce looks at the paper. “I’m confident the Secretary of the Interior will have the FBI get a hold of you quickly.”

Beau stands, thanks the superintendent, nods to Edwards and starts to leave. He doesn’t get far before Féroce calls out, “Do you always dress alike?”

Beau cringes, looks at Juanita who turns and says, “No ma’am.”

“Good.”
