MONITORING

Louis Verran snatched up the phone on the first ring.

“Yeah?”

“Chief—it’s Elliot.”

Tell me something good, Elliot!

“We got it.”

Verran let out a long, slow sigh. At last. All this grief over a lousy bug.

“Where are you now? You made it out of town okay?”

“No problem.” He sounded pumped, half delirious with relief that he’d come through without getting pinched. “We’re at a rest stop on the Delaware pike. We took him outside on the beach. It was too perfect to pass up. He put up a fight but we nailed him good. Then we ducked under the boardwalk, ditched the ski masks, and reversed the jackets. Kurt ran north to his car and I went south to mine, just like we planned. Nobody gave us a bit of trouble. Very smooth, Chief. Very smooth.”

Of course it was smooth, Verran thought. You plan out all your moves ahead of time, it always goes smooth. Even if the AC cops could have got out an APB in time, they’d have been looking for two guys of unknown race wearing black or dark blue windbreakers. A lone white male driving out of town in a red jacket wouldn’t get a second look.

“And the cops? You give them a call?”

“Didn’t have to. The hotel fuzz was coming to the rescue just as we were leaving.”

Perfect.

“Where’s Kurt now?”

“He’s in his car not ten feet from me, waiting to get home.”

“Good. Both of you come straight here. I’m proud of you guys.”

And besides, Verran wanted to see and feel that rotten lousy defective bug in his very own hand. Tonight.
