Part 10 - Snares
Thursday morning, July 2d, 7:00am sharp. You know what and who that means: the one and only Bettina!
"This is Bettina Wurtzburg, KXTC Channel Two News!" she shouted. "The SBI has opened its investigation of Henry Wargrave's death, and they report they are being met by stonewalling at every turn. The City Police has refused to help the SBI in any way, denying the SBI their police reports. Their attempts to withhold the Coroner's Inquest records was thwarted when the Superior Court ruled those records must be turned over, and the City Police have one week to show cause why the police reports and other public records should not be turned over."
"Additionally," Bettina said, "the SBI claims that TCPD Commander Donald Troy and Captain Cindy Ross took the Fifth when questioned by the SBI. Commander Troy issued a statement early this morning stating that he did not take the Fifth but only demanded to have a lawyer present during questioning, as the SBI was not asking questions but making criminal insinuations. Commander Troy also suggested that the SBI investigation was a politically-motivated effort by SBI Director Jack Lewis. As you know, Troy and Lewis sparred over the SBI bill in the Legislature some months ago, and there is evidently still bad blood between them..."
"You got that right." I said to the TV screen as I sipped coffee in the MCD room. "Cindy, what did you tell Ms. Wurtzburg?"
"She didn't bother to call me." Cindy said. "I'm surprised you even gave her a statement."
"Oh, how else could I take the gratuitous shot at Lewis?" I replied. "I think Chief Griswold would be very proud of me, don't you think?"
"You better believe he is!" said a gruff voice behind me. I turned to find Chief Griswold himself right behind me.
"Chief!" I exclaimed. Our handshake quickly turned into a hug, then he hugged Teresa, Cindy and Tanya, then shook hands with all the other officers.
"Miss Cummings," he said jovially, "are you ready for hunting season?"
"Yes sir!" exclaimed Joanne happily. "The Sheriff's wife and I are going up to Lake Amengi-Nunagen this fall. Want to come with us?"
"I'd love to, but fishing is my thing." said the Chief. "And besides, my wife would never let me go anywhere like that with two lovely young ladies."
"Smart lady." I said. "What brings you here, Chief?"
"Oh, a meeting with the Chief and Sheriff." said Griswold. At that, both Cindy and my eyebrows shot up in understanding. The old Chief chuckled.
"You know, both your eyebrows shoot up exactly the same way when you're thinking sarcastic thoughts." said Griswold.
"Next thing you'll be telling us is that we're blood relatives." I shot back. Everyone laughed at that. I handed the Chief a mug of coffee and we filled him in on the current case, saying that today was the 'come-to-Jesus' day of resolution of it.

At 9:30am, Lita entered the conference room at the Parole Office. Ryan was inside, waiting for her. He was wearing suspenders holding up his pants, his pair shape and wide belly all the more obvious, the collars of his faded button-down shirt looking wilted.
"Ah, there you are, Lita." he said softly. "Just lock that door behind you." Lita did so, her face somber.
"Okay, you're pretty close to the end." said Ryan as Lita placed her purse on a side table near the door. "Hey! bring that over here."
Lita did so. Ryan checked the contents of the purse, emptying them on the table and going through them. He carefully examined the purse as well. "What's this?" he asked, holding up a sandwich baggie full of tissues.
"Tissues." she said. "I've been having allergies. What's wrong? Ya think I've got a gun in there?"
"No, a camera." Ryan said. "Or a bug. Your parole would be over and you'd be back in prison if I found one."
"Man, you're paranoid." said Lita. "Can we just get this overwith?"
"I call the shots here, lady." said Frost. Satisfied that the purse did not contain a bug, he told Lita to sit down. He stood in front of her and unzipped his pants, bringing out his five inch cock.
"Okay, baby, you know what to do." he said.
"Aw, c'mon," said Lita. "Can't we just have a meeting without this?"
"You know the deal, Lita." said Frost. "You're so close to the end, to being free. Now get going, bitch. Suck my cock."
In the second conference room, the Crime Lab's audio technician pumped his fist. We had just recorded what we needed.
