67

Three o’clock in the morning. Unable to sleep, Carter went into the kitchen and opened up the second laptop he used exclusively to communicate with Sherman and Junior. He had no idea what their reactions would be to the news that a reporter was nosing around. Full-blown panic? Stay the course? Anything was possible.

Junior had replied first.

Keep close eye on the reporter. If any new developments, let me know IMMEDIATELY.

Sherman’s response had been similar, but it included a suggestion.

Any chance for a catch and kill?

Carter thought about the possibility. Would the right amount of money in the right hands make Gina Kane’s investigation go away? Sherman had made the suggestion, so he would certainly agree to make the necessary extra funds available.

Carter yawned. It might be worth a shot.
