Elizebeth

Elizebeth can almost feel the heat of Leila’s fury coming through the phone line.

“I can’t believe what the Waites have gotten away with,” Leila says. “Because of the weather, our men took too long to get to the Cortés, so she was likely able to get in a big drop on the coast before heading to the river. And because the boat they exploded was their own property, Charles can’t be charged with destruction of it. Marie had nothing in her truck because Charles hadn’t unloaded yet. If the feds had waited until the transaction was taking place, we could have hauled them all in. As it is, now only Charles is charged for the fees to tow what was left of the boat out to sea to sink. Shots fired can’t be proven because he didn’t hit anything, and no gun was on his person onshore. Marie claimed self-defense because she said she thought our men were robbers. They didn’t flash their badges until after they accosted her and Charles’s brother. We failed.”

Elizebeth scans the papers on her desk, shaking her head in disbelief.
