“Can I help?” asked Trask.
Gibson gave his arm a squeeze. “You’ve already done all the helping you needed to do, Sam. I suggest you sit here, finish the movie and popcorn, and revel in your victory.”
The two women left.
Francine said, “Nathan Trask might have been the easy part.”
“I was thinking the very same thing,” said Gibson.
CHAPTER72
WILSON SULLIVAN CAME OUT INTOthe waiting room at the police station to see Gibson sitting there.
“I wasn’t expecting you,” he said, looking annoyed.
She rose and smiled disarmingly. “I like to keep people on their toes.”
“What’s up?”
“Can we go back to your office?”
He took a long moment to make a decision. “All right, but you have to make it brief. I’ve got a full plate.”
“Let’s go.”
In his office, she sat down across from him.
“Oh, did you hear about Nathan Trask?” he said. “It’s the talk of the police world. No one thought that son of a bitch could be touched.”
“Just shows what happens if you keep trying,” noted Gibson.
“The Bureau must be jumping for joy. Quite the catch for them. Wonder how they did it.”
“Yeah, me too. Speaking of the FBI, Cary Pinker came by to see me.”
“I know.”
“I don’t think he likes me poking around this case. I assumed I didn’t hear from you because he told you to put the kibosh on what we were doing?”
“I don’t work for the FBI,” replied Sullivan.
“So we’re good on that score?”
“I told you from the first there are things you can do to help and there are things I can’t let you get involved in.”
“So how is Pinker? Making progress?”
“He’s working the case.”
“With you?” asked Gibson.
“He’s workinghiscase, and I’m working mine.”
“Fair enough. So look, I wanted to fill you in on what’s happened since we talked last.”
“Okay.”
“First thing, I got canned by ProEye.” She had mentioned this to see his reaction.
