“It’s all hindsight, Jay. Until we saw him open that panel, it was just theory.”
Allsop grunted, still not happy.
“Cheer up. You got the collar after all.”
“And Pacifica is gonna think I lied to them to do it.”
“So blame me.”
“I will. You ain’t getting shit out of this, you know?”
I smiled. “I got a live girl, a happy father and a fat check on the way, Jay. That’s more than enough.” I stared at his sour face, feeling smug, triumphant. “You wanna go get some coffee?”
Allsop said something unprintable and stalked off.
Oh, well. No pleasing some people. I shrugged and reached for my phone to call Angela’s father.
