“God, now Evening Headlines wants a piece for tonight.” Matthew snapped his cell phone shut. “I tried to talk them into sending down one of their own producers and another correspondent, but they want you.”
“I’d be flattered if I didn’t know how short-staffed they are in August. It’s me by default,” Diane said. “Does Joel know?”
“Yep,” Matthew replied. “Range Bullock talked to him, one executive producer to another.”
Diane smiled. “I can just imagine that conversation, Joel reminding him again and again how much Range was going to owe him.”
“Yeah, and we’re the currency,” Matthew declared, uncapping his pen and flipping open his notebook. “We might as well get to it. The only new video we have is the police presser this afternoon.”
“And we can only hope they are going to say something else before airtime,” Diane added.
“Range said he’d like us to try to give the flavor of the town, let the viewers see and feel Ocean Grove, get some reaction from people on the street. Do you want to go over to Nagle’s, where Carly worked, and see if we can get reaction from people who knew her?” Matthew asked.
“Sounds like a plan,” Diane agreed.
