Haywood nodded. "But Ashton has crossed the line. He's no longer entitled to your support."

"You've been listening to the wrong people."

"For instance?"

"Sgt. Broadmore. He claims he's got a witness who saw Ashton enter Lydia's home at about 3:30."

"Claims?"

"It never happened. First, Ashton lived in that house for a time; he'd know how to get in without being seen. Second, point him at a place he's never seen, and he'd be inside before anybody could identify him. That witness is lying."

"Did you explain this to Sgt. Broadmore?"

"He's not buying." Walters shook his head. "I also told him that Jeffery Walden, Ashton's attorney, has hired Lambert & Banks to help him build a defense for Ashton. They have a witness who was there at 3:35; he saw things differently. First, he didn't see Ashton or anybody else. Second, there was a car parked on the lawn backed up to the front porch. Broadmore's witness didn't notice it."

"Didn't he check this out?" Haywood asked.

"I don't know. But he said he was satisfied with his witness."

"Santino and Farley aren't happy. What have you done about that?"

"Ashton was working at Overnite Air as Fairchild, so he had to stick with that name when talking with our guys. It explains the few things he said that weren't so.

"I did talk them into checking where Ashton worked as Fairchild over the last three years. Ashton gave it to them straight. So he's no longer a serious suspect."

Walters continued by telling about Brad being followed and shot at, that the slugs came from the same.38 that killed three people at Overnite Air. He spoke of Mike Rinolli and the two guys who had tried to grab him last night. And of Feldersen and the DEA.

 " Didn't he match this out? " Haywood asked. 

 " I don't know. But he said he was quenched with his witness. " 

 " Santino and Farley aren't felicitous. What have you done about that? " 

 " Ashton was working at Overnite Air as Fairchild, therefore he had to stick with that name when talking with our guys. It explains the few things he suppose that weren't so.
