Informant
“I type back half a dozen crude responses, but this is the one I actually send: Now?
Yeah Okay And just like that, I’ve got three DEA agents knocking at my door. Of course, they don’t look like DEA. No suits and ties. All of them, including Beckett, wear plumber get-ups and lug bulky tool boxes. The two older agents—guys somewhere in their early fifties, I assume they’re Beckett’s bosses—move from room to room in our cramped flat, peeking inside. If this were an old movie, the phrase they’d ...use is case the joint.
When they’re done, one of them turns to me and gives a curt nod. “I’m Agent Reardon. Is anyone else home?”
“No.”
“Anyone else expected home?”
“No. My mother doesn’t get off work until after midnight.”
“Fine.” His voice is clipped and his face is expressionless. This guy would never make it in undercover.MoreLess
