We may need your help in the future. I’m going to ask that you stay in town for the next few days. We will reimburse you for lodging. We will provide you with a police escort…”
“Escort?” Tony asked. “Am I in some kind of danger here?”
“No way of knowing,” Jackson told him. “I would just exercise general caution if I were you. Also, watch out for K.J.”
“K.J.?”
“K.J. Smith,” Jackson explained. “Crime reporter for the local paper. Relentless.”
“Right,” Tony said. He wanted an Advil.
A nearly laconic patrolman gave him a ride back to his motel. The patrolman said someone would be by in the morning to check on him and wished him goodnight. That was all he said. Tony was thankful. After Jackson, the last thing he wanted to do was talk to more police.
