Leave it here. I cant go around the city with an out-of-stater whos packing. One of my volunteers has been arrested for setting up the shooting. The police claim that they found the rifle in the trunk of his car. I dont know Cory Tucker well but the people in my campaign who do assure me that hes a very intelligent, honest, hardworking young man whod never do anything like this. Me, too, Viv replied. Then notice the guy whos taking his wife out for a celebration. Thats more dancing and exercise than hes had in ten years. She’s enjoying herself, but they’re both going to be stiff in die morning and by tomorrow night at this time the doctor will coil up the stethoscope, shake his head gravely, and tell the fellow he has to remember he’s thirty-five years older and forty pounds heavier than he was when he was voted the best dancer in his college class. He grabbed her arm and dragged her from the room. Dorseys got this big anti-crime photo op coming up. The usual thing. Candidate in front and a wall of cops behind him. Im so sorry. All right, Mason conceded. Bring along a notebook and some pencils. Sit in the back seat and keep notes on any conversation. Lets go. Bacchetti. I guess not, Stone said. Dont mention this to the Eagles or to Jenna; it will spoil their trip. Yes, I said. All the time. Remember any of the facts? Mason asked innocently, glancing surreptitiously at Della Street. She looked up at him. Her face was puffy, and it looked like she had been crying. Mason said,Can you wait there for another hour or so? You know what I mean. Okay, Dino said. Ill have my guys run him down and chat with him. Well want to hear from his wife, too, the one he beat up. Excuse me. Dino went across the room and starting making calls. Would you both like some coffee? she said brightly. To whom it may concern, He headed off and Devine followed. He glanced around and saw Michelle Montgomery staring at them. She raised her Cosmo and added a supportive look. If thats the case, why exchange at all?.
