by Joseph Flynn
“Busy is all I can say.”
“Of course.”
“I heard about what happened to you. I wanted to tell you I was glad to hear you made it.”
“Thank you. I’m glad, too. May I ask how you got this phone number?”
“Sure, your wife, Ms. Bramley, gave it to me. Everyone knows she works for Mr. McGill’s L.A. office.”
“Of course.”
“I did have to work a little bit to track you down. I tried your parents’ house first but they weren’t home, apparently.”
“They were here with me,” John said. “Went home yesterday evening.”
“That’s good … but I found out something when I tried to reach them.”
John heard the uneasiness in the young man’s voice. “What’s that?”
“Somebody’s tapped their home phone.”
“What?”
“Yeah. I checked and was happy to find out it’s not one of ours or anybody else in federal, state or local governments. It’s an illegal wire.”
John did his best to stay calm. “Do you know whose it is?”
“We’re pretty good at backtracking these things. I can’t tell you how we did it, but we obtained a store’s security video of a man buying a disposable phone in New Mexico. He used it to test his tap. We ran his face through a federal database and got a hit. He’s an army vet named Thomas Bilbray.”
A chill ran through John.
“He used a fake credit card to buy the phone,” Cale said. “The name on the card was—”
“Bodaway,” John said.
Someone else, it seemed, who was hard to kill.
