“Humph I find this hard to believe”

Brady went on “Parisi will be observing Jacobi, too”

I wasn’t surprised that the DA and the chief of police would be watching our interrogation We had an admitted mass murderer in the box

I asked Brady, “What else do I need to know?”

“You take the lead Be nice The tape could be used in court If nice doesn’t do the job, I’ll step in as badass”

Brady handed h them, then looked back into Brady’s iceblue eyes All we had in the way of leverage was Grant’s on-the-scene ad

Brady said, “Boxer Don’t worry about the big picture right now I don’t care who he knohat he hates, et cetera If he’s talking, great We want it all But right now, this , be his friend We just need hiravy”

CHAPTER 10

BRADY AND I left his office and walked the short length of corridor to Interview 2 He held the door open and followed me inside

Connor Grant was seated at the table wearing a brightorange jumpsuit and a smirk His hands were cuffed, ankles shackled He looked happy to see me, and oddly, I was happy to see him, too

Brady had given nment: Get Grant’s confession on the record Get it to stick After that Len Parisi could negotiate with thisdetails, names of others involved, then either make a deal or prosecute hi s

I took a seat in one of the straight-backed aluminum chairs across the table from Grant, and Brady did the same

To the “pris-nah” I said, “Hello again, Mr Grant How are you this ? Sleep okay?”

“Not bad I forget How do I know you?”
