72 #Tetchy

So what did O’Neill have to say about the other list?

Sorrell was beginning to loathe how Baby Angel knew his every move. Haye had suggested that perhaps the captain’s emails were being hacked, but Sorrell always preferred a simpler, more logical explanation.

Bernard Sorrell @BernardSorrell

No more games. Reveal yourself.

Baby Angel @BabyAngel

Oooh, we are in a tetchy mood. Get outta bed the wrong side this morning?

Bernard Sorrell @BernardSorrell

I’m getting bored with this.

Baby Angel @BabyAngel

I’m not. Now tell me what O’Neill said or you’ll get no more guidance from your guardian.

Bernard Sorrell @BernardSorrell

He said he was just throwing Presley a bone as Schroeder was one of the many on a watchlist.

Baby Angel @BabyAngel

But something doesn’t add up, right?

Bernard Sorrell @BernardSorrell

You could say that.

Baby Angel @BabyAngel

I do say that. What didn’t add up, captain?

Bernard Sorrell @BernardSorrell

Schroeder.

Baby Angel @BabyAngel

Why doesn’t that add up?

Bernard Sorrell @BernardSorrell

Because I don’t believe he killed Horrigan.

Baby Angel @BabyAngel

So what was Schroeder doing in Baltimore? Hmmm?

Bernard Sorrell @BernardSorrell

I think you’re playing me for a fool. You’re wasting my time.

Baby Angel @BabyAngel

You stupid black bastard. The truth is staring you in the face.

Bernard Sorrell @BernardSorrell

What’s my color got to do with it?

Baby Angel @BabyAngel

Nothing. Sorry. The only colour that matters is your grey matter. Use your brain.

Sorrell stared at the screen with a quizzical expression. And it wasn’t the insult that was puzzling him.
