Walter sent back the police form, waiting for Officer Linden’s confirmation, which finally came twenty minutes later.

Walter walked around the divider to stand in front of Linden’s desk. “So now what?”

Linden looked up from her hand-held. “Oh, you may go.”

Go? Where was there to go? And more importantly, how? “So, what about the car? The people who robbed me? Will you even try to find them?”

“Of course.”

“And the word of a fourth . . .”

“Ah,” said Linden. “You do understand.”

Walter remained standing in her cubicle, understanding nothing. He waited. He was a fourth. Waiting was one of his most useful skills. He did not threaten. He did not loom. He waited with head and shoulders down, eyes cast to the floor. This had to work.

“Will there be anything else, Mr. Glass?”
