As agreed, Jack Logan sat in the darkened booth of the Red Eye Café, a small dive near the airport. It was a smoky bar that he’d used before when he didn’t want to be recognized. He spied Jason Danvers and swore under his breath. The man was dressed in a double-breasted suit, for crying out loud, and he’d pulled up in his Jag.

“Why didn’t you just put a neon sign on your back?” Logan growled, nursing his glass of McNaughton’s.

“What?”

“You stick out like a fucking sore thumb.”

Danvers frowned. “I don’t intend to be here very long.”

“Neither do I.”

Jason ordered a whiskey on the rocks and waited until the waitress left the drink and picked up the bills. Ignoring the drink, he reached into his jacket and pulled out the tape, which he slid across the table to Logan.

“What’s this?”

“I hope nothing.” Jason filled Logan in on all the details.

“How many copies of this are floating around?”

“God only knows. She gave me one, and I gave a copy to Sweeny.”

“None to the police?”

“Not yet. I thought you could check it out.”

“Should go to the station.”

“Too many leaks. I turn it in and it’ll be on the six o’clock news.”

Logan grunted. He couldn’t argue with that logic. “I’ll see what I can do, but she’s been nosing around.”

Jason froze. “What do you mean?”

“She’s called my house a dozen times and even came up the front walk.”

“You talked to her?”

“Not yet.”

“Shit!” He ran a hand through his hair. “This is worse than I thought.”

“You worried about her?”

Jason’s gaze darted around the bar. “Hell, yes, I’m worried.”

“Think she’s London?”

“No!”

“But you’re not sure.”

“Nothing’s sure, Logan.”

“Looks just like your stepmother.” The two men glared at each other for a second, sharing a secret neither wanted revealed, then Jason finished his drink.

“Just don’t talk to her and find out what you can. If she goes public, we’ll give the tape to the police.”

“But not before.”

“Nope.”

“You say Sweeny’s in on this?”

“In Montana right now. Checking out her story. He called yesterday.”

“He’s an asshole.”

“Work with him on this, okay? Keep your ear to the ground and your mouth shut. If the police get wind of the story, let me know.” Jason left a twenty on the table and swaggered outside.

“Bastard,” Logan muttered under his breath as he quickly exchanged the twenty for a five.
