After Warren left, Cole opened Chandler Price’s financial records on her phone. In New York, they’d found the payment to Michael Wragg fairly quickly, but she hadn’t been back to his records since. She looked for unusual transactions. Maybe she’d get lucky and find something that stood out, like a large payment to someone in D.C., Vegas, Miami, or another of the cities on the map.

She looked for transactions over a thousand dollars, wire transfers, suspicious purchases. Nothing. Price spent a lot of money, but most of it was travel, shopping, and everyday stuff. They’d found the Wragg transaction quickly because it was unique. Chandler Price had paid Wragg for the rifles, but if his financial statements were any indicator, he hadn’t paid anyone else. It was possible he wasn’t aware of the entire plot. As far as Cole knew, he was out of the country. Chances were low he’d be in the U.S. any time soon.

Next, she scanned Twitter for news on the murder of the former VP. Suspicions were surfacing that his murder was connected to Raj Ambani, but they were still rumors. Nothing official. On Twitter—a platform where everyone gets a voice—there were rumors about almost everything. There were equally-credible theories connecting Meyers’ assassination to the killings of John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Tupac Shakur, and Sharon Tate. It was enough to shake Cole’s faith in the actual evidence she’d seen, at least momentarily.

She studied the helicopter footage of the body on the hotel rooftop, the body of the alleged killer. Next to his still form was a black, stick-shaped thing—likely the gun—but there was no way of telling whether it matched the gun used by Wragg. Local TV news had reported that “police sources” said the shooter had “probably used a fifty-caliber rifle.” That fit with the weapons they knew were out there, but was far from proof. And it wasn’t clear whether the reports were based on eyewitness accounts, or just speculation that it must have been a fifty-caliber because of the distance of the shot.

Additional cell phone video clips had been released, and she watched them all. The great thing about Twitter was that it was often hours ahead of the news networks, even the police. The terrible thing was that much of the “information” on the app couldn’t be trusted. Half the clips claiming to show the shooting were fake—they led to random YouTube videos or porn sites. Many of the others didn’t show anything new. One was a blurry five-second clip from the street below, showing people looking up after hearing screams from the rooftop. Another was from a few minutes before the shooting, according to the message that accompanied the tweet, and showed the guests, including the former VP, mingling at the bar. Cole saved the tweet to study later. It might be useful to put together a list of everyone who attended the event.

She was about to stop scrolling when she found another video. It was shot from the
