"The problem is partially solved."
Luther Brady felt the muscles that had been wound spring tight since Jensen's last call begin to unwind.
"Partially?"
"We have Grant. The former Jason Amurri is still out there."
"Did you get to her in time?"
"I believe so."
"Believe isn't good enough."
"I'll ask her. Then we'll know."
"How will you be sure?"
"She'll tell me."
The finality of that simple statement sent a warm glow of reassurance through Luther.
Jensen added, "What do we do after that?"
Luther had been thinking about that, and had an answer ready.
"We're pouring a column tonight. Bring her there. I'll have the volunteer notified that she'll have to wait till next time."
"You'll be there?"
"Have I ever missed? Ten o'clock. And who knows? Maybe you'll have the other half by then."
Luther hung up and allowed himself a smile. A tiny one. Two in one pillar… an intriguing possibility.
