Brad nodded.

"I'll be damned. A wild-eyed federal agent can do real damage. Feldersen, you say his name is? And Cogswell?"

Brad nodded.

"The feds don't give much info, but it'd ease my mind to know more about those two, Feldersen most of all."

Brad watched him file the details carefully in a front corner of memory for quick reference. Josie was lost in her own thoughts.

"I did hear something from Tuckman," Brad said.

"What's that?" Hank asked.

"He'd made a deal with Gerald to buy his part of Overnite Air. When he was killed, Lydia took it because of their dad's will. It's far out, but maybe she killed him to get his share."

"You just got my attention," Hank said sharply. "There's nothing in the original case file about that. And there sure as hell should be. Remember, she said she saw him killed. That would put her on the scene."

"Tuckman wants that airline," Brad said. "Maybe he killed Gerald because he changed his mind about selling."

"Possible. Yes, indeedy." He frowned. "There are a lot of questions all of a sudden, and they need answers." His tight, lazy smile was back. He leaned forward. "With Gerald, there're a couple things I can check, includin' what you just told us about Tuckman and Lydia." He looked at Josie. "All I need is ten more hours a day."

"Is there a hint in that?" Josie asked.

"I hear you're good."

"You said you might change your mind," Brad reminded her.

"There are things you could do," Hank suggested.

"Such as?"

"Check on Lydia's murder. My hands are tied there."

"I don't understand."

"It's Sgt. Broadmore's case. He won't stand for much of me."

"And while I'm solving a murder all by my lonesome, what will you be doing?"

Hank laughed easily. "I've got Gerald's case. I can dig." His tight smile had a touch of

 " The feds don't collapse much information, but it'd ease my mind to know more about those two, Feldersen most of all. " 

 Brad watched him file the detail carefully in a front corner of memory for agile reference book. Josie was lost in her own thought. 

 " I did hear something from Tuckman, " Brad said. 

 " What's that? " Hank ask. 

 " He'd made a deal with Gerald to buy his share of Overnite Air. When he was killed, Lydia took it because of their dad's will. It's far out, but possibly she killed him to bring his share. " 

 " You just got my care, " Hank said sharply. " There's nothing in the original case file about that. And there sure as hell should be. Remember, she say she saw him killed. That would put her on the scene. " 

 " Tuckman wants that airline, " Brad said. " Maybe he killed Gerald because he changed his mind about sell. " 

 " Possible. Yes, indeedy. " He frowned. " There be a fortune of questions all of a sudden, and they need answers. " His nasty, lazy smile was back. He leaned forward.
