Forrest, Katherine V - Delafield 03- The Beverly Malibu

“Inner ear dysfunction,” Kincaid grated, his face wrathful. “I was four-F.”

“So,” Kate said, “even though you withdrew your friendship from Mr. Sinclair, you approved of his testimony before the House Committee enough to defend him to Mr. Thomas and Mr. Crane —

correct?”

Kincaid shook out another Camel and began his match-scraping ceremony again. “His testimony and my… distaste for him are unrelated.” He said judiciously, “Anyone who really understands what this country is all about understands that Owen did the right thing. His testimony was his patriotic duty. And he paid a price for it like many patriotic Americans have — from Patrick Henry to Oliver North.”

She studied him. Such certainty, such purity of belief must be comforting. And a man who permitted no gray areas in his beliefs was a man of simple solutions…

She said, “The Committee was disbanded some time ago, was it not?”

“In ’seventy-five. Look what’s happened since. Communist dogma infiltrating both political parties, our classrooms, our movies, our books,” he ticked off on his fingers. “The fruits of labor from decent, hard-working Americans redistributed to people who don’t deserve them. This Gorbachev— glasnost business — even Ronald Reagan’s been duped. We’re rotting from within just like Khrushchev —”

Taylor said, “You know anything about the people whose names Forrest, Katherine V - Delafield 03- The Beverly Malibu he gave to the Committee?”

“I don’t even remember their names now,” Kincaid answered.

“That was years ago. As I said yesterday, as you sow, so shall you reap. Anything bad that happened to any of them, they deserved it.”

“Mr. Kincaid,” Kate said with deliberate slowness, “do you have anything to add, anything at all, to what you’ve told us about your relationship with Mr. Sinclair?”

Pulling deeply on his cigarette, he stared coldly at her. “I’ve answered every one of your questions. I’ve been completely cooperative.”

She had heard enough. There were many more questions for Dudley Kincaid, and in her judgment she and Taylor should gather additional information so that the questions could be asked in the setting of a formal interrogation. They needed to quickly finish their preliminary investigation.

She nodded to Taylor, who tapped his notebook, his signal of understanding and agreement.

“Mr. Kincaid,” Kate said, “my partner and I have other questions but we’ll need to ask them a bit later. Would you excuse us?”

He looked at her in sudden uncertainty. “Of course,” he said.
