Rachel Fontaine was easy to find at 6 am. She was the morning anchor for WRGN News. Nate watched from the green room as she completed her segment.

“How are you holding up, Nate?” she asked the minute she walked into the room.

“Still trying to process it all.” He hugged her then held her at arm’s length. “How about you?”

Shaking her head, she sighed. “Regan is pissed, and I still can’t believe it. Do you have any leads?”

“Depends on what you tell me.”

“Me? I don’t know anything more than we have reported.”

“That’s what I thought, until last night.” Nate took her elbow to guide her away from the door. “Do you remember the Chambers case?”

“Do I remember?” She chuckled. “It’s pretty hard to forget a shootout in the middle of Broad Street, Nate.”

Nate nodded. “I know. Do you remember the building we went to?”

“With the blond hair, blue-eyed Barbie clones, yes, I remember that too. Do you think they have something to do with Alex’s death?”

“Some information came my way yesterday and two names came up. Centerville Correctional and Peaceful Reliance.”

“The prisons’ scam I was investigating?”

“Right. What ever happened to the third judge in that case?”

“Whew, Nate,” she cleared her throat as she glanced around. “Dangerous territory.”

“Why?” Nate did not understand her hesitation. “Hey, it’s me. The one you shared this crazy case with.”

She shrugged. “It’s just that Regan made a visit to that judge last night, and as it turns out, what I stumbled into may be something bigger than we originally thought.”

Nate could not help but notice her voice lowered when she spoke. “Should we meet later to talk?”

“Look, Nate. Remember my father was Chief Judge over the region and those judges fell under his jurisdiction. I can’t say for certain, but I believe he turned it over to the DOJ.”

Nate raised an eyebrow. “I know he did. Any idea who he would have contacted there?”

“Assistant AG Haskell, of course.”

“Of course,” Nate nodded.

“You know all you have to do is ask your mother. She will have him in Richmond before the day is out to answer any questions you may have.”

Nate grimaced. “My mother?”

“Yes, your mother,” Rachel nodded.

“I have no idea what my mother would have to do with Haskell, but I’d rather not get her involved in a case I’m working on.”

“Tell me what you have.” Rachel nodded in understanding.

“Tell a reporter what I have on a case,” Nate chuckled then kissed her cheek. “You gave me what I needed, but that was a good try.” He walked towards the door.

“You can’t blame a girl for trying.” Rachel smiled. “But why not ask Chief Williams? He and Alex continued doing some work on that case after the murder investigation was closed.”

Nate stopped then turned back to her. “How do you know that?”

“He met with Regan a few times, trying to get a line on the girls.” She walked over to him then whispered. “Regan believes this may have something to do with White supremacy.”

“I don’t think she is far off, but what’s her reasoning?”

Rachel glanced around.
