Back at his apartment, Dennis pulled a beer out of his fridge and gulped down half a bottle with satisfaction. Finally, he was getting somewhere. Granted, he had assembled most of the picture already, but having Janet help him on the case made things easier. Janet’s access to the data on Bostoff’s trades helped fill in the blanks, and he couldn’t have gotten this data without her help. Sure, Dennis had wired her computer, but Janet had told him that the trade reports were saved on the shared computer drive. She was printing the reports without saving them to her computer, which was why the tracking software had missed the files.
Dennis was glad that Janet had agreed to help him. He was even gladder that he had been able to talk his boss into granting protection for her. Ham Kirk had been most cantankerous about the notion, but he had finally caved in, telling Dennis that his head was on the line. Well, Dennis Walker was used to taking risks, and he was not about to stop now.
