Natchez Burning
“Caitlin snaps, her eyes flashing with anger. “What else have you held back?”
She’s talking about Glenn Morehouse and his interview with Henry Sexton. There’s nothing quite like confronting an angry and intelligent woman who also happens to be your lover.
“You obviously figured out Morehouse was a Double Eagle on your own,” I point out. “I didn’t need to tell you.”
“But the time I lost.”
“Are you in a race?”
“Oh, come on. That’s all journalism is, and with Shad or Lincoln tipping out-of-town pap...ers, this story’s going to break fast.”
“You want to take over Henry’s story, don’t you? And you swore to me that you wouldn’t.”
Caitlin is one of those rare people who never seem to blink, and now she focuses on me with the eerie intensity of a serpent watching a bird it intends to devour. “I didn’t know how big this thing was when I made that promise. I want to know what else hasn’t been made public.”
I shouldn’t answer, but Caitlin has already begun to work her way into the story.MoreLess
