A few more moments passed.
“OK,” he said. “You can work on this fire story. But if I get so much as a hint that you’re playing freaking Nancy Drew I’ll pull you off it and put you on that bake sale story so fast that it’ll make your damn head spin. Got it?”
I gave an enthusiastic thumbs-up, letting Danvers know in very clear terms that I was totally onboard with his requirements.
“And I don’t want you going out there alone.”
Danvers glanced back and forth between the open computers on his desk before settling his gaze on the one to my right. His hands turned into a brief blur over the keys for a moment and the printer off to the side whirred to life.
“I’ve got a contact with one of the fire chiefs down in Brooklyn, an ‘Ethan Stokes’ over at Ladder 128. Should be able to give you some place to start, let you know how best to keep that red head of yours down so you don’t get into trouble.”
Ladder 128? Wasn’t that the station of the fireman on TV?
He handed me the warm sheet of freshly printed paper before I had the chance to think the matter over too much.
“That’s the address and all that. Tell him I sent you and he should be eager to help out. He’s a good guy.”
I folded up the piece of paper and held it carefully in my hands as though it were made of solid gold.
“Thanks, Danvers,” I said, slipping the paper into my pocket. “You won’t regret this.”
“Here’s hoping,” he said, waving me off and turning his attention back to his computers.
With that I was off, ready to write the story of a lifetime.
