Something was wrong. Kruger looked at his watch. It was past four in the afternoon and Plymel’s lawyers had not arrived at Manhattan Central Booking yet. He and Sharon were in a conference room waiting. Sharon was using the time to examine Plymel’s computer, while Kruger paced. What the hell was going on? Experience with high-profile criminals always included lawyers showing up before their clients were processed. Plymel’s hadn’t. His cell phone vibrated. “Where are you?”

Joseph said, “I’m flying to Washington DC to meet someone who might be able to help us. I should arrive by seven or so. What’s going on there?”

Kruger smiled and said, “Tell Mary hello for me. Plymel’s lawyers haven’t showed up yet. I think P&G may have cut him loose and he’s on his own. We have less than forty-eight hours to find what we need, or we have to release him. Sharon’s working on the laptop, but it’s going to take time to build a case against him.”

“Can you meet me in DC tomorrow?”

“Yes.”

“I’m in Chicago changing gates right now. Tonight I’m meeting Mary for dinner; she found some very interesting information, which may help us. Let me know where you’re staying and I’ll pick you up in the morning.”

The call ended and Kruger stopped pacing. He turned to Sharon, “I need to go to DC. Are you good by yourself here?”

She looked at him and shook her head. “Yes, Dad, I’ll be fine.”

Kruger chuckled. “I deserved that. Sorry. I meant to say: I need to go to DC, keep looking into the laptop, and call me if Plymel’s attorney shows up.”

“That I can do. I’ll email you a summary of my findings. Be careful, Sean. From what I’m finding in this computer, these people do not respect authority.”

He stared at her, trying to decide if she needed to accompany him or stay in New York. Finally, after several moments, he said, “I’ll be careful. You do the same.”

She nodded and went back to the laptop. As he left the room, he had a nagging feeling about the situation. As he walked down the hall, he stopped, briefly undecided about Sharon staying in New York. Shaking his head at the premonition, he left the building and took a cab to the airport.
