Bridget was in her office for less than a half hour when Thomas Grant walked in.

“Hey, Bridget,” Grant said as he took a chair across from his deputy. “I hear you were out at Leon Golden’s estate.”

“Who told you?”

“Morris West. He said you threatened his client.”

“That’s absolutely false. I’m certain Gretchen Hall and Yuri Makarov were murdered because of their involvement in Golden’s sex trafficking ring. I told him that he was in danger too, and we could protect him if we made a deal. I did want to scare him, but I did that by laying out facts, not threats.”

“I guess Morris put a spin on the visit,” Grant said.

Bridget looked directly at her boss. “Yes, he did.”

“Is Golden going to make a deal?”

“Morris was going to let me know tomorrow, but I take his whining to you as an indication that he’s not.”

“Where does our case stand?” Grant asked. “We’re getting close to the trial date.”

“I was certain that I could turn Gretchen Hall. Now that she’s dead, the case is floundering. The women will testify, but they have no evidence to support their claims.”

“So, we’re in trouble?”

“There is one possibility. When Lawrence Weiss stole a painting from Hall’s restaurant, he also took something from her safe. He won’t say what it is, but the attack on the two detectives and me is strong proof that the people involved in the sex ring are desperate to get it back. If I can get Weiss to give me what he has, it might give us a winning hand.”

“But you don’t know what he has?”

“No.”

“And he won’t turn it over?”

Bridget sighed. “Weiss is insane, but Charlie Webb, his lawyer, is desperate to convince Weiss to give me what he has. He knows Weiss’s life is in danger as long as he holds on to the evidence from the safe.”

“It sounds like the success of our case hinges on Webb’s ability to convince his client to make a deal,” Grant said.

Bridget sighed. “I’m afraid you’re right.”
