The Bait

Ethan and I race into the office just after midnight, breathless and sweating. We had to dump his truck three blocks away when we couldn’t get past the police barricades set up around the Federal Reserve building.

Stepping off the elevator, I’m still trying to get my head around what’s happening. In a sudden vertigo, I feel like the ground is getting farther away but also somehow rushing up to meet me. It started with Carter’s question about my father.

When Ethan told him it’d been years since they’d spoken, Carter tried to hang up without telling us why he’d asked. Ethan pressed but was only able to get out of him that he was looking at a memo generated through the FBI’s Manhattan field office that no one had bothered to read until it became relevant. All we knew for certain: Patrick Turner Murphy was reaching out from the grave. Ethan’s gears were spinning before he ended the call.

While I drove, he worked the phones. First to track down the warden from Sing Sing to find out if anyone had claimed my father’s possessions. Then waking my father’s attorney to demand he gather any papers retrieved from the prison and messenger them to me at the magazine. The pieces were coming together, and it wasn’t a pretty picture.

“‘Unknown number of armed assailants gained entry to the Federal Reserve Bank on Liberty at 8:47 p.m.,’” Ethan reads aloud from his phone as we jog to our desks.

Everyone in the Farm is running around, ragged, shouting at each other across the room. I open up my laptop and bring up the Messenger app to send a text to Navid. It’s more efficient than trying to yell above the noise.
