“Let’s cross that bridge when we get to it. Sheppard won’t do anything to jeopardize his career, and we have at least two people in place to keep Scully from delving deeper. I think we have a more urgent matter.”
“What do you mean?” asked Kerrigan.
“You realize it’s a good bet that Detective Scully has already divulged what he knows to his friend. I’m referring to Giaconne’s connection to Rose Bardinari and the kidnapping of Marnie Holt.”
“Without a doubt,” Kerrigan said. “I see your concern.”
“Yes. We have no control over the wrath that will rain down on us if he finds out about our part in his daughter’s kidnapping.”
“Sheppard has more to fear than anyone,” said Kerrigan, the hint of a smile on his face. “We need to suggest a new focus. For all our sakes, the commissioner’s target must be Lucas Holt.”
