Right after getting off the phone with Lamb, Dunn tried to find out as much as she could about what was going on. Though she tended to believe the story he told her, she still wanted to find out for herself and get confirmation of it. She contacted another agent who worked in the organized crime unit to see if they had a better handle on the situation.

“Hey Fred, it’s Stacy.”

“Hey, what’s going on?”

“Not much. I have something going on here and it may be related to something you guys have. Just wanted to see what you know.”

“OK. Shoot.”

“I just heard from someone about Lawrence Swanson and his wife being murdered. He’s apparently in organized crime. Have you heard anything about that?” Dunn asked.

“Swanson? Yeah, we know him. We actually have someone at the house now. We were called in immediately.”

“Any details yet?”

“Uhh, not too much yet. They’re still looking the scene over. It’ll take a while, you know.”

“Yeah, I know. Anything you can tell me yet? I just need to try and confirm this guy’s story,” Dunn said.

“Well, all I really know so far is they found six bodies. Four in the house, two outside in the pool.”

“The Swansons were found in the pool?”

“Yeah. How’d you guess?”

“Just a hunch. Is their daughter missing?”

“Daughter? Didn’t know they had one. Could be. I don’t know yet. Like I said, it’s really early in the process. If they have one and she’s not there, she could be at friends or family or something,” the agent said.

“Yeah, possible.”

“Does this person of yours know something about this?”

“He could. I’m in the process now of checking the facts to determine everything,” Dunn said.

“Well, would this person talk to me?”

“No. He’s very skittish. He’ll deal with me or no one.”

“I understand.”

“Did you guys hear of any rumblings in the past couple weeks of Swanson being targeted or anything?” Dunn asked.

“Not of him specifically. We heard rumors of someone high up in the food chain possibly getting offed, but there was never a name put to it, and nothing we could ever substantiate.”

“Why would they do this to Swanson? Any idea yet?”

“Not yet. If I had to guess, it’d be that he was doing some business on the side that they didn’t like. Assuming that it was an inside job.”

“And the Swansons’ daughter. She’s eleven, I think. If she’s not there, is she still a target or is it now considered finished with her parents being eliminated?” Dunn asked.

“Well, that’s a tough one to say right now. It really depends on the contract. Depending on what they were worried about to begin with, it might end here. If they’re concerned about the daughter possibly knowing something that they don’t want revealed, then she’s still a target.”

“That’s what my source told me.”

“Like I said, it really depends. I know of cases where the kids are left alone, and I know of cases where the kids go down with their parents.”

“What’s your guess on this one? Any way you’d
