‘Even if his discretion sends you to prison?”
“It seems that way. He must know. It was all over the news.”
“You can tell me. I work for your lawyer. It’s confidential.”
“What good would that do if he still won’t come forward?”
“I’d know.”
“What good does that do me?”
“You need someone on your side because you're innocent and not just because you pay them.”
Phoebe thought about that for a long second and looked at Radcliff. “He’s a cop.”
Margot looked at Radcliff, who nodded and left the interrogation room.
Once he was gone, Phoebe smoked for a bit before she blurted out, “Harry Lee.”
“The mobster?”
“He would say misunderstood businessman.”
“How did you meet Harry Lee?”
“Tim knew him through work.”
“Tim worked with Harry Lee?”
“Not how you're thinking.”
“What am I thinking?”
“That Tim was involved in something shady or illegal.”
“Considering Harry Lee’s involvement, it’s not an unreasonable conclusion.”
“No, I guess it isn’t, but Tim wasn’t like that. Harry was looking for legitimate businesses to invest in and Tim had one of those.”
“Harry still an investor?”
“No, Tim’s and his relationship ended.”
“The same way Tim and Derek Helms ended their relationship?”
“Not that I know of and I was sleeping with both of them, so I think I might have heard if they were mad at each other.”
“Do you mind if I talk to Lee?” Margot asked.
Phoebe had to think about this for a minute.
“Are you afraid of him?” Margot pressed.
“I suppose I am.”
“Why? I thought he was a misunderstood businessman.”
“Sure, but I understand him.”
