Tag glanced first at Gannon then back at Marlene Kingston, not knowing exactly what to say. He'd had a hunch that Senator Denton's resignation hadn't been as benign as it seemed. "And you're sure about this, Marlene? Can we trust our sources?" Tag was well aware how the use of anonymous sources by news organizations had been under heightened scrutiny over the past year.

"Yes, more than you can guess. Here's the name," she said, handing him a sheet of paper.

Tag took the paper and glanced at it, then raised a brow before passing it on to Gannon. After reading it, Gannon whistled. The name on the paper was that of the senator's niece. "This is definitely a strictly confidential source. How did you manage it?"

Marlene smiled. "Jeanette and I attended classes together at Georgetown. Once I started asking questions she broke down and told me everything. She's a highly ethical person and over the years found anomalies in the Senator's behavior that she didn't approve of. She's always felt compelled to keep quiet, but this last thing was the final straw. As you can see, we have a reliable story here, Tag. And what's even more special is that it seems Time doesn't even have a clue, which gives us an advantage."

Tag smiled, feeling the adrenaline rush he'd always experienced when they were on the verge of breaking a story. Top that off with his dinner date tonight with Renee and he felt like a man riding high above the clouds.

"I'll finalize my report and have it on Peter's desk by Monday," Marlene said, interrupting his thoughts.

Tag shook his head. "No. This is going to be your story. You're doing all the digging and the Senator's niece is your contact. You write the article."

Gannon nodded in agreement. "Where the hell is Peter, anyway?"

"He's still at lunch," Marlene said, gathering up all her papers to put in her briefcase.

After Marlene had left, Tag looked over at Gannon and said, "We're going to have to do something about Peter. He knew about this meeting."

Gannon was about to respond when the phone on his desk rang. He quickly picked it up when he saw it was his private line. Tag, who figured the caller was
