SWEET REVENGE

My gut instinct tells me she’s just what she says she is, an architect trying to make a comeback after a bad spell. She was very nice. She didn’t even bad-mouth Rosemary Hershey. And she only had nice things to say about Bobby Harcourt, who she was engaged to for a while.”

“Something is going on with the Hershey woman.

You should have seen her. She looked like something the cat dragged in and then dragged back out. She is one hateful woman, I can tell you that.

You know what I think, Maggie? I think she went to Quinn’s law firm because she didn’t want to alert the previous attorneys that something might be going on. She has no clue about those vigilante women out there at the farm. That means, without knowing it, she fell right into their trap and they didn’t have to work at it.”

Maggie finished the last of her sandwich and then chomped down on the pickle. “I think you’re right, Ted.” She kissed him on the cheek, snatching what was left of his sandwich before he knew what was happening. “You should have gotten some dessert. I like something sweet after I eat.”

Ted thought he was being crafty. “How sweet?”

“Don’t go there right now, Robinson. I thought you were going to call the cops.”

“OK, OK.” Ted dialed the precinct, gave the address and said, “I’m a neighbor of Ted Robinson. I was coming up from the laundry room and saw three men pick the lock on his apartment. They went inside and they’re still there. You don’t need my name; I don’t want to get involved.” He rattled off the apartment number. “I’m keeping track of the time and will tell Mr. Robinson I called.

know. He works on top-secret stuff so you might want to keep that in mind. Don’t be stupid and use your siren either.”

“Big-shot reporter!” Maggie sniffed when Ted ended the call.

“About that horny business . . . What are we going to do about that?”

“Nothing. Ooh, look, I think I see the cops. Boy, that was quick. Careful now, the windshield is tinted but it isn’t black like the other windows.

Duck down and peek out.”

“What should we do while we’re waiting?” Ted asked, unwilling to give up the idea of sex in the back seat of the SUV.

“We could think about partnering up for a double byline. Robinson goes before Spritzer, so you get to go first. We share all info one hundred percent. I can do a lot of the legwork. There are five women to keep track of—and, of course, Rosemary Hershey. You can’t do it all, Ted. And let’s not forget Jack Emery. We can make out an assignment list and check back with each other at the end of the day. Shhh, look! Your guests are leaving. Guess the locals have a little authority after all.”

Both reporters watched as the three special agents walked down the street to their car.
