“Bingo.”
“What did Tommy ask?”
“That’s not a yes-no question.”
Asshole.He was having fun with this. Tommy was in the morgue and Peter Grey’s cold eyes sparkled in enjoyment.
WhathadTommy asked him?
Charlie started. “Were you hired to kill Adam Hannigan?”
“Yes.”
Her stomach fell. She had known it, but she didn’tknowit.
“Who?” she asked.
“Tsk-tsk,” Grey said.
She took a deep breath, realized that if they were going to get the answers they needed, she had to play the game. “Was Adam Hannigan going to tell me who hired him? Is that why they wanted him dead?”
“Ummm...rephrase the question.”
“This is ridiculous,” she muttered.
Charlie, however, was calm, and his even temper helped her keep her head.
“Mr. Grey,” Charlie said, “was Hannigan hired to kill Grant Warwick?”
“Yes!” Grey lit up as if Charlie was his star pupil. “Very good, Deputy North.”
“Did Hannigan have remorse for killing Chase Warwick, a minor?”
“Yes.”
Not as enthusiastic. Regan asked, “Was Hannigan’s murder a fait accompli? He was always going to be silenced, wasn’t he?”
Grey leaned forward, a gleam in his eye. “Yes.”
Regan dug deep into what Tommy had written down. The names, businesses, what was he most interested in?
He had a question about Adam Hannigan working for Brock Marsh.
“Did Brock Marsh hire Adam Hannigan to kill Warwick?” she asked.
He laughed. “What do you think they are? Assassins for hire?”
“Adam Hannigan had at one point worked for Brock Marsh.”
He shrugged, didn’t comment.
“Was Brock Marsh as an entity—or an individual inside the organization—primarily responsible for hiring Hannigan?”
He shrugged.
“They were tasked with the assignment, correct? Hired?”
“You’re making this so much harder than it needs to be, Regan. I can call you Regan, can’t I?”
