THE next morning I called the Madison Arms from a public phone that was just down the street from it. “Put me through to Anthony Sebring, please. He’s in Suite 808.”

“One moment, please, sir.” I wasn’t surprised when after a minute or so the desk clerk came back on the line and said, “I’m very sorry, sir, he doesn’t answer. Would you like to leave a message?”

“No, that’s all right, thanks. I’ll try again later in the day.” I’d been pretty sure everyone had gone to the hospital to be there when Mrs. Mann was discharged, but I didn’t get to be senior special agent and then Deputy Director of Interior Affairs by taking stupid chances.

I hung up the phone and entered the delivery van. I drove it down the alley that lead to the hotel’s service entrance, took a rectangular box from the rear, and walked into the building.

The service elevator was right there, and I rode it up to the eighth floor. Just to be on the safe side, I tapped on the door to 808. “Delivery,” I called in the soft southern drawl of my Dwayne J. Lester persona.

There was no answer. A glance around verified the empty corridor, and I let myself in with a key card that had been programmed to work for this room.

A quick recon showed the suite was empty. The beds were made, so housekeeping had already been there.

Whistling “Over the River and Through the Woods” through my teeth, I opened the box, hooked up the VCR and set it up so it was ready to run.

I’d promised Quinn that he and his uncles could deal with Holmes. They were civilized men, but they would go for the jugular if they had to. While they were busy with him, I’d be taking care of Wexler. I didn’t let being civilized interfere with what needed to be done—I went not only for the jugular, but for the balls as well. And if a little evisceration was necessary….

I left a padded envelope on the cocktail table. It was addressed to Novotny and contained a copy of the video and a brief message.

If anyone chose to trace the message, and if they were good enough, they’d find that it had been printed on an anonymous printer from a local library.

I grinned when I thought of how Novotny would react to the message. Too bad I couldn’t be there to witness it.

You might find this useful. It should help you deal with the matter that’s been of concern to you all. Don’t screw it up; there aren’t any more copies.

Of course there were, but Holmes knew how honorable the Sebring men were. If they believed this was the only one, he would believe it as well.

I wished I could be there when they watched DCI Holmes gamboling on that pink bed in his pretty pink unmentionables with Pretty Boy, Spike, and Delilah Carson, but I had other things that needed to be done, ditching the uniform and the van among them.
