A smile flitted across the senator’s face. “Aren’t we lucky the FBI never closes a case?”
“That depends on which side of the fence you crouch.”
The politician threw a sneer into the air. “Where is she?”
“Timberline.”
“Ha!” This time, the senator smiled broadly. “Fate’s been working in my favor lately, Elams. Thursday, I’m scheduled to appear at party headquarters in lovely downtown Timberline. An organized crime hit can happen anywhere, can’t it? An up close and personal reason why the voters need me.”
