Ben sits in his car and calls Chad Meldrun.
The bored, too-cool-for-school receptionist puts him on hold. Comes back on a few seconds later and says, “Chad said to say he can’t represent you anymore.”
“Did he say why not?”
“Conflicted.”
“You or him?”
She hangs up.
But Ben knows what he wanted to know-Chad is in the office.
Which works out, because Ben is in the parking structure.
All the President’s Men.
