Finally, he spoke.
“Director, you have my apology, and I want to help in any way I can. You can have access to anything I have in order to find who did this. I’ll also help with any monetary issues for whoever needs it. If someone was killed, and stored there, they need those eyes back.”
His attorney protested.
“Uh, Devon, that’s implying blame. You don’t want the liability.”
He stopped him.
“Larry. Shut up. There are people who died. They deserve decency. You know my father demanded that, and I’m going to uphold that.”
She shared.
“We don’t know who they are yet, but we will. When we do, I’ll contact you. Thank you for your time, Devon.”
She shook his hand.
Then, she focused on the lawyer.
“And what’s your full name, Larry? You know…for my report.”
The man blinked.
And hesitated.
Only, the man who paid his salary didn’t.
“He’s Lawrence Springer,” Devon offered. “Give her your card, Larry. I’m sure she’ll be contacting you again as you finally get the council to handle this!”
The man did.
When she passed it off to Gene, he already knew what they’d be doing.
RESEARCH.
As she headed out, she could hear Larry talking to Devon, telling him he should never talk to the cops without representation. That he wasn’t accustomed to his ‘new-fangled’ ways of handling things unlike his father.
Devon told him to calm down, and that he was going to help the FBI because it was the right thing to do.
Yeah, Larry seemed suspicious.
And hesitant for his client to help them.
That made her want to focus on Larry. People who had things to hide, tended to be twitchy around her.
Oh, and Larry was definitely twitchy.
“I want him run,” she said, and Gene already knew who she meant.
When someone was wary of the FBI, and for no logical reason, there was always some hidden reason. He’d been sweating and acting odd.
That was a problem for her.
And now him.
Exiting the man’s office, they waved goodbye to the secretary and picked up Ivan before heading outside. After they cleared the building, they climbed into the vehicle.
Ethan had been getting the updates on the whole thing, and had been focusing on a profile.
