1 the Question of the Missing Head
“I have no idea how that much cash was found at this late an hour of the night, but it appeared promptly enough. It wouldn’t be nearly enough to satisfy the thieves, but Captain Harris believed that if the briefcases were lined deeply with real cash, and then stuffed internally with blank paper, the amount might be enough to fool them.
I disagreed but was shouted down. And when the shouting began, I reacted to the volume of the words, not their meaning, and did not offer much resistance. I c...ould not think strategically over all the noise in the room.
The thieves made contact once again twenty-eight minutes later, sending a text message to Detective Lapides, perhaps just to remind us that they could. The instructions for dropping off the money were detailed in the text, which was quite lengthy for such a thing.
Within minutes, we were headed to the parking lot for a trip to the drop-off point in three separate vehicles: Lapides, Captain Harris, and Ackerman would ride in a Sport Utility Vehicle provided by the county prosecutor’s office; Laverne Masters would ride in her own car with an officer driving; and Ms.MoreLess
