Keira skilanced over at Cody, who had read his copy just as quickly, and was looking at her with a disturbed expression on his face

They both turned to face D’Arcy when he said, “The FBI has already sent an official inquiry through channels requesting whatever information we have on this”

“But we don’t have any, sir,” Keira said faintly

“No, not directly, but you can’t tell me there isn’t a connection between this and Walker’s truck last night” He looked from Keira to Cody “In case you don’t remember, Brockway and DeSantini were—”

“The lead prosecutors on Pennington’s trial eight years ago,” Cody finished for him “Yes, sir, I remember” His face hardened, as did his voice “Callahan’s in danger Maybe his family, too”

“I’ve already dispatched a tea Callahan’s fah under normal circumstances, but not for this”

“Callahan won’t trust the team you’ve sent unless I warn him in advance,” Cody said “You kno careful he is”

“Then call hilanced at his watch “I sent the team by helicopter They should be there soon”

Keira watched as Cody drew the cell phone fro in a nu to tell the FBI, sir?” she asked

“As little as I can,” he said “I have to tell them about as found in Walker’s truck—the circumstances are too similar to what happened to Brockway and DeSantini And there could be an evidentiary tie-in But I’ to the thick file folder in the center of his desk

“Sir?”

“Two reasons,” D’Arcy explained “First, I don’t want theency has access to their computers Second, if the SAC of the FBI’s New York Field Office Criminal Division was a member of the ned five years ago, there’s no telling who else in the FBI ot one agent on theyour name to it”

Startled, she said, “I didn’t think of that”

Cody walked back at that rim “Callahan’s halfway to Casper McKinnon’s with hione to voiceat the phone for confired in Callahan’s official sheriff’s SUV early this ht outside his house They didn’t wait to collect the evidence—you can notify the FBI to do that, sir Callahan was deteret to his family as soon as he could”

“Damn” The as softly spoken, and D’Arcy picked up the phone and punched a number “Get someone to radio the chopper on its way to Black Rock,” he said with cold urgency “Tell them to divert to our safe house in Casper Callahan and McKinnon are on their way there” He listened for a ht And tell that chopper tea thely at Cody, who nodded “Okay, thanks”

“Four attempts,” Cody said “Two dead”

D’Arcy nodded “They’re batting 500”

“No sir,” Keira said swiftly “They’re batting 333 As far as we know, at least” When both men looked at her, she reminded them, “There were six names on the list, not four That’s what Callahan reported Tressler told him”

“That’s right,” Cody said, snapping his fingers “Brockway, DeSantini, Callahan and ot to be connected to Pennington in some way”

D’Arcy said, “Those four are easy Brockway and DeSantini—they put Pennington in jail the first titon He also killed him, with your help,” he told Cody
