Metafire

"How many FBI agents did you see?"

"One, whose badge I saw. Then I think I saw at least three others, one in a car outside, and two others stationed inside. They let me ask my question, but that was it."

"Can you call the FBI there and ask what's up? I got a call from the FBI up here in Washington asking me questions. Since you encountered the agents, maybe they'll tell you." Wendy was trying to figure an angle on getting a formal response from the FBI.

"Sure. I'll call right now. It's only four o'clock here. I'll be right back." He hung up.

Then ten minutes later, Wendy's phonewatch beeped again. "It me, Randall."

"Go ahead. Anything interesting?"

"They said the usual. They don't discuss matters under current investigation. If there are arrests, we can get the information through Washington. The usual way." Randall, was not unhappy, though. He had a surprise for Wendy. "I did find out something you might be interested in, though."
