“And a little payback to the FBI for taking over the investigation?”
“Got nothing against them. Roy is their problem.”
“Any results back on the postmortem on Bergin?”
“Feds brought in their own cutter. No report yet that I know of.”
“How’s the colonel taking being put in the backseat in his home park?”
“He plays by the rules.”
“Anything else that might throw light on why Bergin was killed?”
“Not on my end. Now how about from you?”
“We’re just drifting right now.”
“Heard tell your car windows aren’t there anymore.”
Michelle tried to hide her irritation. “Heard tell from whom?”
“True or not?”
“Okay, true.”
“Where did it happen?”
She told him.
“You should’ve reported that.”
“I’m reporting it now.”
“See anything?”
“Nothing to see except a long-range rifle round passing before my eyes.”
“Not many folks can make that kind of shot.”
“Oh, sure there are. I bet your little sister could do it.”
Dobkin grinned. “You always this casual during an investigation?”
“Helps to break the tension.”
“You also have a lady with you. Who’s that? Megan Riley?”
“So how long have you had a tail on us?”
“We don’t. Just eyes over at Martha’s.”
“Mrs. Burke?”
“She’s a good friend of my wife.”
“Your wife has really helpful friends.”
“Benefits of a small town.”
