Chapter 7

“Would you like another beer?” Reynolds asked, going over to the wet bar.

“No thanks. Coffee would be good though, if you don’t mind.”

“Not in the least.” He started the coffeemaker then took the other chair. “Mick didn’t want you involved, you know.”

“Yeah. He made that pretty clear after he told me what he did. But I’m a planner as well as a decent researcher—and pretty good at both—so I offered my…services, as it were.”

“So he said. Of course he didn’t clear it with me until after the fact. Both about telling you and then enlisting your help the first time he needed it.”

The coffeemaker let him know it was done at that point. He got up again, poured two cups, and asked if I wanted cream or sugar, which I didn’t. He handed me my cup then sat again.
