He should have known better than to mess with a crazy man.(74) 159. It was time to tell all.(74) 160. Ricky begged him not to do it.(75) 161.

I’ll have photos in the morning to show the lacation of the hose when the Memphis PD arrived.(91) 185. My point being, not only was he off his rocker enough to kill himself, but he was also drunk and stoned, so there’s no way to figure out a lot of this.(92) 186. His secretary says he left the office around 9 A.M., said he had an errand to run and she didn’t hear a word until we called.(92) 187. Maybe he stopped for lunch, maybe to buy whiskey.(92) 188. McThune said solemnly while staring at Foltrigg, as if everyone prefers to die in the place of their birth.(92) 189. He’d learned to play their games and manipulate their egos.(94) 190. He knew the best way to handle their banalities was simply to respond.(94) 191. The poor kid doesn’t know what to do.(94) 192. I’d also like to talk to the little brother.(95) 193.

I planned to tell you as soon as we were alone.(102) 207. He watched his mother try to nap on the bed.(103) 208. He told her he needed to roam around a bit.(103) 209. She told him not to leave the hospital.(103) 210. He used the stairs again because he figured Hardy and the FBI and the rest of the gang might be hanging around somewhere downstairs waiting for him to happen by.(103) 211. It was a sprawling and bewildering configuration of additions and wings, with a maze of hallways and corridors and mezzanines trying desperately to connect everything.(103) 212. The signs became obsolete, but the hospital failed to remove them.(103) 213. he wanted to avoid truant officers.(103) 214. I’ll come back to see you.(106) 215. They were too busy to notice.(106) 216. You’re a bit young to need a lawyer, aren’t you?(106) 217. I’m supposed to talk to the FBI at noon.(107) 218. But then there was Gill Teal, the one for real, the people’s lawyer, the star of the Yel- low Pages who also had enough fame to get himself on television, and just look at his office.(108) 219. Maybe she had more time to help him.(108) 220. Clint gave the standard hand signal to indicate someone was waiting in the reception area.(108) 221. Clint opened the door, and motioned for Mark to enter.(109) 222. Nice to meet you.(110) 223. He was about to lie to the FBI.(110) 224. Maybe it was time to come clean for a change.(110) 225.

He spoke slowly because he wanted to remember it all, and because he wanted his new lawyer to write it all down.(114) 233. Clint attempted to interrupt after fifteen munites.(114) 234. It seemed to fit.(115)

7 235. He knew too many details to be lying.(115) 236. Clint interrupted again eleven-thirty to inform Reggie her next appointment had been wait- ing for an hour.(115) 237. And when it’s over, you and I will decide what to do next.(117) 238. The second lawyer hired by Barry the blade-muldano to defend him on these obnoxious murder charges was another angry hatchet man by the name of Willis Upchurch.(119) 239. he was on a plane to New Orleans to, first, organize a press conference.(119) 240. He was allowed to roam a bit and spout at the mouth.(120) 241. Upchurch drooled into the receiver as Sulari asked him to fly immediately to New Or- leans.(120) 242. There was a long pause in which Mark worried if Greenway expected him to say some- thing.(122) 243. Greenway glanced at his watch and started to walk back to the room.(122) 244. they hurried down the stairs to use it.(123) 245. Because they’re here to talk, not to arrest.(124) 246. Mark managed to get it out.(126) 247. The agents exchanged nervous looks, and for an awkward second neither knew what to say.(126) 248. If they wantd to sit this clise, fine.(126) 249. Trumann said again, and looked at McThune as if uncertain how to proceed.(127) 250. I need a lawyer to protect my rights and all.(128) 251. we can wait if you want to.(128) 252. If you have nothing to hide, you don’t need a lawyer.(130) 253. Convince him to require you to talk to us.(131) 254. Did you in fact attempt to interrogate this child outside the presence of his mother?(132) 255. We intially approached Dr.Greenway, and he agreed to this meeting, which was supposed to include Mark, Dianne Sway, and the doctor.(132) 256. Trumann added quickly, very eager to explain things.(132) 257. Did you advise Mark to talk to a lawyer?(133) 258. It was easier to lie because the kid wasn’t there.(133) 259. And you did not attempt to interrogate him without his mother’s presence or consebt?(133) 260. And you did not tell him to avoid lawyers after he asked your advice?(134) 261. You attempted to coerce the child with the threat of criminal prosecution not only for the child but also for his mother.(134) 262. You advised him not to get a lawyer.(134) 263. Trumann also believed that this woman knew all there was to know about the disciplining of wayward FBI agents.(135) 264. He knew the ex-cons, especially the ones who returned to crime.(138) 265. it was not uncommon for cops to stop him and ask what was going on.(139) 266. he was not about to go barging in with his questions.(140) 267. He’d learned early in his career that it was best to tell them up front who and what.(141)

8 268. He stood erect and looked at Slick as if to say.(141) 269. But he wanted to talk, and this never ceased to amaze Slick.(141) 270. and it takes months to drag him out.(142) 271. Ord had met Foltrigg before at numerous conferences and seminars where the various U.S. attorneys gather and plot ways to protect the goverment.(143) 272. Foltrigg usually spoke at these forums, always eager to share his opinions and strategies and great victories with anyone who would listen.(143) 273. Foltrigg, along with Boxx and Fink, had once again situated himself in Ord’s office to analyze the latest.(143) 274. Foltrigg was eager to return to New Orleans, but more eager to hear from Mark Sway.(143) 275. He was never one to hesitate before drawing conclusions.(143) 276. She had worked as a schoolteacher to put him through med school, and after fifteen years of marriage he decided to trade her in for a new model.(145) 277. He gave them their freedom and enough money to finance it.(145) 278. I’ve heard that her mother mortgaged her home to finance some pretty heavy therapy.(145) 279. She was determined to prove to herself she could succeed as a lawyer.(146) 280. Then he looked at Ord, his boss, as if to say.(147) 281. I would like you to go with us at three to her office.(147) 282. I really need him to go with me.(148) 283. Foltrigg said with authority, as if he remembered every lawyer who dared to step on his turf.(148) 284. He scratched his knees and made the decision to tell Greenway everything that Ricky could have seen and heard.(150) 285. The things Romey told him in the car were not heard by anyone else, and, for the moment, and subject to advice from his lawyer, he would hold them private for a while.(150) 286. This was just too much for him to handle alone.(150) 287. Greenway had asked him to say in the room as much as possible.(151) 288. A man entered just before the doors closed, and seemed to look at him a bit too long.(151) 289. They were met by Clint, who asked them to be seated.(152) 290. Clint asked them to follow him to a small conference room lined with shelves of heavy law books.(153) 291. Clint instructed them to be seated.(153) 292. I’ll be happy to provide you with a copy of the tape.(154) 293. How nice of her to ask!(154) 294. The doctor wants him to stay in the room near his brother.(154) 295. Two Memphis agents were attempting to obtain her law school transcrips.(155) 296. He did not, under any circumstances, want to make this woman angry.(155) 297. Clifford was obviously planning to kill himself, and we have reason to believe he wanted to tell someone where his client Mr.Muldanno, had disposed of the body of Senator Boyette.(155) 298. Roy had spent hours before juries and he knew how and when to act sincere.(156) 299. The word‘ where ’seems to indicate the boy was gone.(158)

9 300. It’s obvious they talked, exchanged names, and that the kid was in the car long enough to touch everything.(158) 301. If there’s something to hide, then scream at the other guy for violating technicalities.(159) 302. He found it difficult to believe she’d been practicing only four years.(159) 303. it was time for old Roy to take a few punched.(160) 304. If you get near my client again and attempt to obtain anything from him without my per- mission, I’ll sue you and the FBI.(160) 305. I’ll ask the judge to lock you up.(160) 306. and as soon as Reggie here took the pills he ran to court with a pile of motions to get the kids.(160) 307. I need time to digest this and talk with my client.(161) 308. Wally felt the need to call them every fifteen minutes with instructions.(162) 309. But Roy Foltrigg was not the sort of person to inspire intense loyalty.(163) 310. They encouraged him to run for office.(163) 311. It’s reasonable to believe the other would be affected.(166) 312. They walked to the room, closed the door behind them, and listened as Mark tried to fill in the gaps.(166) 313. It was a relief to unload this baggage, though he did most of the talking in the direction of the floor.(166) 314. He paused quite often, long pauses in which he searched for words to describe what was already firmly etched in his memory.(166) 315. he thought they were about to yell at him for lying last nitht.(167) 316. He vividly recalled the crazy stuff:la-la land and floating off to see the wizard.(167) 317. I find it hard to believe you couldn’t remember some of this last night.(168) 318. He left the room to get drinks.(169) 319. Reggie was telling the story in such a manner that Dianne had no choice but to mistrust the FBI.(169) 320. Nance opened the door wider and motioned for Gronke to enter.(170) 321. Mr.Muldanno is an old pal, and he’s very disturbed to see his name suddenly show up here in the Memphis paper.(171) 322. The press is going to ruin this country.(171) 323. He’s already hired a lawyer, and is refusing to talk to the FBI.(172) 324. We want you to find the kid.(172) 325. Foltrigg had managed to avoid the drudgery of legal research for the past fifteen years.(176) 326. He had learned to hate libraries in law school.(176) 327. Research was to be done by egghead scholars; that was his theory.(176) 328. here he was in George Ord’s library with Boxx and Fink, nothing to do but wait at the beck and call of one Reggie Love.(176) 329. Boxx had not opened a law book in years, but for the moment there was simply nothing else to do.(177) 330. At issue, at the heart of their research, was the question of how Mark Sway could be made

10 to divulge information if he didn’t want to.(177) 331. Following Foltrigg’s orders, they had begun the process of obtaining approval to offer Mark Sway safety under the Federal Witness Protection Program.(178) 332. The kid had nothing to lose.(178) 333. He was on the sofa, which happened to be the spot Mark had planned to sleep.(179) 334. It was the kind of footage one had to watch.(179) 335. Mark said, careful not to get friendly.(179) 336. Who knows–this guy could be just another hungry lawyer waiting to pounce on wounded prey.(179) 337. Ricky had opened his eyes and asked to use the bathroom.(182) 338. It was not fair for a kid to read about himself on the front page and not have parents to hide behind.(183) 339. The truth can get you killed–he’d seen that in a movie one time, and always remembered it when he felt the urge to lie to someone in authority.(183) 340. She was still beautiful but now playing hard to get.(183) 341. He added the precise quantity of water, flipped the switch, and waited for the first black drops to hit the canister.(187) 342. Her mission as a lawyer was to protect abused and neglected children.(187) 343. Clint jumped to answer it.(188) 344. he would try all legal means to extract the information from her client.(190) 345. I think that an effort will be made to force you to talk.(190) 346. I believe steps can be taken in court to force you to testify about what you know.(190) 347. a judge in a courtroom one day soon could order you to talk.(190) 348. the judge tells me to spill my guts.(191) 349. she handed it to Clint and showed him where to sign.(192) 350. The news was clipped, copied, computerized, and readily available within twenty-four hours for those willing to pay.(192) 351. He was appointed by the governor to fill the unexpired portion of Dauvin’s term.(193) 352. If a man had enough sense to accumulate a bunch of cash, then he would certainly make a worthy U.S.senator.(193) 353. He railed against the oil and gas industry, and it vowed to defeat him.(193) 354. someone in New Orleans had floated out a proposal to build a toxic waste dump in Lafourche Parish.(193) 355. he prefered to drive by himself whenever possible.(194) 356. Roy Foltrigg made a grand entrance into the story when he stepped in front of the cameras to announce the indictment of Barry Muldanno for the murder of Senator Boyd Boyette.(195) 357. The story seemed to lose steam as the search continued.(196) 358. The governor, a Democrat, appointed a crony to serve the remaining year and a half of Boyette’s term.(196) 359. The New Orleans paper ran an analysis of the many politicians waiting eagerly to run for the Senate.(196)

11 360. Reggie said just loud enough to be heard.(196) 361. Tell Mr.Foltrigg we have nothing to discuss.(196) 362. he said with a smile as if he suddenly enjoyed the idea of telling Foltrigg to take a hike.(197) 363. she’s taking pills to sleep and pills to do this and that.(198) 364. There’re here in Memphis for one reason, and that’s to scare the hell out of me.(198) 365. He left to get more cocoa for Mark.(199) 366. She allowed him to hold for one full minute, then pick up the phone.(199) 367. He didn’t get a chance to talk to you and your client.(200) 368. My client has nothing to say to him.(200) 369. I have no desire to meet with Roy, nor does my client.(200) 370. if anyone attempts to contact my client ot his family I’ll have their asses.(200) 371. I want you guys to tail him twenty-four hours a day.(201) 372. I don’t think he’s dumb enough to touch the kid, but who knows.(202) 373. How’d you learn to type so fast?(204) 374. I tried to convince Mom to get another lawyer.(206) 375. I was too young and dump to testify.(206) 376. So the judge not only cut off all visitation, but also told my father to stay away from us.(207) 377. Mom wanted me to rescue her.(208) 378. Frankie took him to the bedroom to cool him off.(209) 379. Had to wear the ugly white mask for a while.(210) 380. Then he threatened to sue Mom if she didn’t pay him.(210) 381. That’s good to hear.(211) 382. She had places to go and walked quickly.(212) 383. Is it true your client is refusing to cooperate with the FBI and the police?(214) 384. The other stood to greet them.(215) 385. I want you to ignore them.(216) 386. they’ll do anything to get information.(216) 387. I want you to name the president individually.(217) 388. I’ll be there in about thirty minutes to pick it up.(217) 389. You can’t just barge in here and demand to see the president of this company.(219) 390. I’m telling you to find his sorry ass and get him out here immediately.(219) 391. Cigarette smoke seemed to ooze from every opening.(219) 392. Tell Louise to leave.(219) 393. It sometimes took Chester’s lawyer two days to return a phone call.(220) 394. They cannot afford to complain.(221) 395. I want the payroll checks delivered to keep coming.(222) 396. Mark gently placed his arm around Ricky’s shoulder, and this seemed to help.(224) 397. He began to curl under the blanket.(225) 398. Another thirty-eight underlings plowed through the drudgery and boring research and te- dious attention to mindless details, all in an effort to protect the legal interests of Roy’s client, the United States of America.(226)

12 399. Flink studied some notes and pretended not to hear.(229) 400. Creating facts with his guts, and expecting those under him to follow on faith.(229) 401. this is the quickest way to get the kid to talk.(229) 402. he has the authority to order the kid to talk.(229) 403. Difficult to say at this point.(229) 404. It was so easy to spoon-feed Foltrigg.(230) 405. the judge refuses to make him talk.(230) 406. He paused as if deep in thought, the field marshal surveying the plains, deciding where to send his tanks.(231) 407. Plan A is to file a petition in Juvenike Court first thing tomorrow morning.(233) 408. How long will it take to prepare it?(233) 409. I don’t think Muldanno’s stupid enough to try something .(234) 410. He had a plan to drop a bug in Room 943.(235) 411. Sofas and chairs for the patients to wait for their shrink.(235) 412. A convinction for conspiracy to commit murder would send him away for life.(236) 413. The hospital promised me to keep guards at the door.(239) 414. Ricky was crying and beggining me to stop.(240) 415. He stood stiff, uncertain how to greet a strange eighty-year-old woman.(241) 416. I’ll get you something to drink.(241) 417. Reggie grinned at him as if to say.(241) 418. It’s so nice to hear a young man with manners.(243) 419. Momma Love said, glacing at the door to make sure Reggie was indeed gone.(244) 420. It would be best to stop it now.(244) 421. Reggie told me not to talk about it.(244) 422. Mark cut a huge bite with his fork, blew on it just enough to knock off the steam, and carefully raised it to his mouth.(246) 423. Dianne was too tired to cook.(248) 424. He never comes to see his mother.(249) 425. Mark looked fir a hole to crawl in.(251) 426. I cried myself to sleep every night worrying about my daughter.(251) 427. But she tried not to think about them.(252) 428. Momma Love moved closer, too close to suit Mark.(252) 429. And most lawyers are too busy making money to worry about kids.(252) 430. my doctor told me not to discuss it because it stresses me out.(254) 431. he wondered for the thousandth time why these people came to this city to spend hard- earned money on cheap entertainment and overpriced food.(256) 432. He’d realized in law school that he was not a genius, and that to succeed he’d need to put in more hours.(256) 433. he jumped at the chance to be an assistant city prosecutor in New Orleans.(257) 434. Every citizen owes to society the duty of giving testimony to aid in the enforcement of the law.(257)

13 435. Foltrigg planned to issue a subpoena for Mark Sway to appear before the grand jury in New Orleans.(258) 436. a lot of stuff to cover.(258) 437. He said feel free to call if he could do anything.(259) 438. it’s safe to assume he’s not there to visit Elvis’s grave.(259) 439. Mr.Lewis explained to the Juvenile Court judge that it’s in the best interests of the kids for us to take him into custody?(259) 440. Hopefully the judge orderd the kid to talk.(260) 441. Wally stood and began pacing thoughtfully around the library, deep in thought as if things were conspiring to force him to make a significant decision.(260) 442. Every witness has a duty to come forth and assist those authorities investigating a crime.(262) 443. If Mark refused to testify before the grand jury, a quick hearing would be held before the trial judge, who would undoubtedly order him to answer Foltrigg’s question.(262) 444. There are places to put eleven-year-old kids who find themselves in disfavor with the sys- tem.(262) 445. To advise him to disclose the location of the senator’s body would be to jeopardize his safety.(262) 446. It would be proper and ethical and moral to advise him to cooperate, and that would be the easy way out.(263) 447. They want a hug and someone to make decisions.(263) 448. I am ordering you to answer these questions before the grand jury.(264) 449. The best advice to Mark would be simply to lie.(264) 450. He belonged at the hospital with his mother, sleeping on the same crippling bed, waiting for Ricky to snap out of it so they could leave and go home.(266) 451. Rufus hung up the phone, and ran to find his garden hose.(268) 452. he said with the pitch of a street preacher, and what we ought to do is sue that sonofabitch Tucker and force him to provide safe housing.(268) 453. I hate school, but it’d be nice to go back.(270) 454. I told Clint to find a back entrance somewhere, and to meet us in the parking lot.(271) 455. She glanced at him again and hit her brakes to avoid a car in front of them.(272) 456. Reggie said, obviously in doubt and half-jogging in an effort to keep up with him.(273) 457. his future was brilliant and there were glowing predictions of higher courts for him to conquer.(276) 458. The country fathers had seen fit to give him two more judges to help with the caseload.(278) 459. I am scheduled to hear seventeen cases today.(279) 460. And it would take a while to explain it.(280) 461. it’s important for the kid to cooperate.(281) 462. every citizen has a duty to assist law enforcement officials.(281) 463. It just seens a bit severe to allege the kid is a delinquent without any proof.(281) 464. There are two ways to make him talk.(282) 465. we can subpoena the kid to face the grand jury in New Orleans.(282)

14 466. I see no need to take him into custody.(283) 467. His lawyer asked the hospital to provide security guards outside the brother’s room.(284) 468. She asked me to request FBI protection at the hospital.(284) 469. we would never do anything to violate the secrecy of your hearings.(284) 470. We’re making preliminary arrangements to place him in the witness protection program.(285) 471. and when Karen closed the door to leave.(286) 472. It is easy to think in this dark room because there was nothing else to do.(287) 473. Trailers were easy to burn.(287) 474. he remembered his mother’s inability to testify about any of the financial affairs of the family.(288) 475. He suspected each time that there was no money to pay the bills.(288) 476. requires us to take Mark Sway into custody at this time.(289) 477. Klickman backed away one step, as if to say this wild woman belonged to Nassar.(290) 478. Call Reggie and tell her to meet me at the jail.(291) 479. Nassar held up an arm to block his view.(294) 480. while Klickman blocked the door until it started to close.(294) 481. That was stupid thing to say.(294) 482. Is it against the law to talk to the press?(294) 483. You forgot to read me my rights.(297) 484. I have the right to remain silent.(297) 485. She ignored this, and pointed at a piece of paper for Nassar to sign.(298) 486. There were two windows–one in the door and one above the lavatory, and neither was big enough to stick his head through.(300) 487. There was so much to worry about.(301) 488. This was not unexpected because when the obituary was over there would be littele to say.(303) 489. He usually went about once a month, but to hear him talk he lived in courtrooms.(303) 490. these phones were used by criminals and people like himself to call thier lawyers and talk business.(304) 491. But for thr most part it was just routine business–call, place the order, give the address and phone number, and allow free enterprise to hadle the rest.(307) 492. I gotta call Barry and tell him the kid’s been taken away and there’s no way to get to him.(308) 493. Roosevelt issued an order to take him into custody.(311) 494. They’re trying to force him to talk.(312) 495. Mr.Voyles was quite upset, not about the killing itself but about the FBI’s inability to solve it completely.(312) 496. I think Foltrigg’s office called Mr.Lewis and asked him to come down.(314) 497. She was the right arm of Harry Roosevelt, a man so overworked he had no time to remember such things as speaking commitments and appointments and anniversaries.(315) 498. I need some time to think.(319)

15 499. But I don’t think the code gives you the authority to order custody of children who may be in danger.(320) 500. There was a long pause as the judge debated whether to ask the question.(321) 501. I think we can expect them to ask the judge to make you talk.(322) 502. Judge Roosevelt instructs you to answer certain questions.(323) 503. Can we sue the judge, or do something else to get me out?(324) 504. With no place to call home, the Sway family now lived in Room 943 of St. Peter’s Charity Hospital.(324) 505. The questions will not be asked to incriminate you.(325) 506. every person has a duty to assist law enforcement officials in the course of their investiga- tion.(326) 507. Hours of sleep had been lost trying to fomulate the answer to this inevitable question.(326) 508. Then it was a mintake to hire you, wasn’t it?(326) 509. it was time for everyone to wait for the judge again.(329) 510. He was a lowly assistant with the country attorney general’s office, and it had fallen to his lot to prosecute on this day in Juvenile Court.(329) 511. Fink decided this was the appropriate time to establish himself in this matter.(330) 512. We just think it’s important, Your Honor, to proceed immediately with this hearing.(331) 513. I request the transcript of these proceedings be tryed and prepared as soon as possible to facilitate an emergency appeal if necessary.(333) 514. Due to extreme circumstances, her presence is not possible at this time.(334) 515. The child moves this court to dismiss the petition filed against him on the grounds that the allegations are without merit and the petition has been filed in an effort to explore things the child might know.(335) 516. I defy anyone to repeat any word uttered in this room today, or to discuss any aspect of this proceeding.(338) 517. And you are to tell him to keep his big mouth shut.(338) 518. I told them to leave.(339) 519. Harry waved at Hardy as if it were now permissible to get on with it.(340) 520. Hardy did this, and was sworn to tell the truth.(341) 521. He gave his oath to tell the truth .(342) 522. He said there was no doubt Mr.Cliford had used this pen to scrawl these words.(343) 523. she knew he would hear it all and decide what to believe.(343) 524. Harry asked how the FBI obtained a fingerprint from the child to match those found in the car.(343) 525. they felt it was okay to lift the print.(344) 526. Harry said with enough sarcasm to make McThune blush.(344) 527. All eyes were on the kaiser roll, and as Harry picked it up to take a huge bite, he was young Mark Sway watching his every move.(346) 528. You have five minutes to tell me what’s bugging you.(347) 529. After Barry Muldannowas indicted, the pressure began to mount and Jerome began acting

16 strange.(347) 530. Fink paused to allow this to sink in.(347) 531. There’s no way to verify any of this.(348) 532. Will you please tell us, sir, under which code section the petitioner has the right to force the child to testify?(349) 533. Under which code section is the petitioner allowed to make such a request.(349) 534. Fink dropped his head a few inches and found something on his legal pad to examine.(349) 535. Are you going to allow the kid to testify?(350) 536. If I were you, I’d put him on the stand and advise him not to answer the crucial ques- tions.(351) 537. I’d advise him to withstand the pressure from the judge.(351) 538. And you buy yourself some time to see what Mr.Foltrigge will do in New Orleans.(352) 539. I won’t allow him to go.(352) 540. I’ll have no choice but to find him to be a delinquent.(352) 541. I’ll be in a better position to help him.(352) 542. Fink glanced about fearfully, uncertain whether to sit, stand, speak, or crawl under the table.(354) 543. I will allow him to testify.(354) 544. I want you to remain in your seat.(355) 545. If you need a break to step outside and talk to Reggie, just let me know.(355) 546. he tald the story about his trips through the weeds to remove Romey’s suicide device.(356) 547. the judge’s eyes began to sparkle.(356) 548. so he jumped in an attempt to divert it.(357) 549. There was a pause as Harry waited to see if he was finished.(357) 550. Reggie said she would fight to keep it away from him.(358) 551. he said , staring at the floor, waiting for the spider to reappear.(358) 552. He bit his lip, fighting hard not to cry.(359) 553. He had so much to say, so many questions for this brat, so many suggestions for the court on how to handle this matter.(359) 554. I have no place else to go.(360) 555. I’m ordering you to answer these questions.(360) 556. the law does not allow privete citizens to withhold information that might be crucial to a criminal investigation.(361) 557. You chose to file your petition here in Memphis.(362) 558. Tell Mr.Foltrigg to fax me a copy of the judge’s order setting the hearing for tomorrow.(362) 559. I intend to bring him back here every other day to see if he wants to talk.(362) 560. he’s duty boung to divulge it.(363) 561. Perhaps we can convince him to talk if we can guarantee his safety.(364) 562. we have taken preliminary steps to place him in our witness protection program.(364) 563. We find a good job for the mother, and get them a nice place to live.(364) 564. How long will it take to place the entire family into the program.(364)

17 565. Judge wants him back tomorrow at noon to see if a night in the slammer changes his mind.(366) 566. Two hourshad passed since the hearing was scheduled to start.(368) 567. Are they scheduled to work tomorrow?(369) 568. They won’t have a chance to run to court.(370) 569. I don’t think the judge plans to release him.(372) 570. Tell Hoover to take a break.(372) 571. The hall was empty as she opened his door and motioned for him to return to his little room.(373) 572. Sort of surprised to see you back here.(373) 573. He apologized for not being there to help with Ricky.(376) 574. She couldn’t tell him to talk or to remain quiet because she was scared too.(376) 575. The anchorperson gave the basics about the taking of Mark Sway, careful not to call it an arrest.(377) 576. she scared of these lurking shadows who’d threateded Mark and burned the trailer and obviously were quite willing to do more.(378) 577. and he knew better than to ask.(379) 578. Ask these guys if they want something to eat, or another drink.(380) 579. And a little bug that allows us to hear what these guys are saying.(381) 580. Is there any way to get him?(382) 581. I’m not in the mood to kill anyone.(384) 582. I’ll get Pirini to do it.(385) 583. and he thought of his mother trying to sleep on that rickety cot the nurses had rolled into Ricky’ room.(386) 584. Do they have any plans to hit the boy, his family, or his lawyer?(389) 585. Any plans to bug more phones?(389) 586. The cops asked her to come down.(391) 587. They had allowed Jack Nance to finish his dirty work.(391) 588. But Clint’s desk was not well organized to begin with, so he couldn’t be certain.(392) 589. And so with three hours’ sleep and a nerve-racking day about to begin, she sipped her coffee and watched the eastern sky turn orange.(392) 590. It was a frightening event to hear about, but it had happened to someone else.(393) 591. he and his lawyer were stupid enough to discuss this knowledge over the phone.(393) 592. Fink would have nothing to gain by leaking this, and the risks are too great.(394) 593. I plan to issue a subpoena for Mr.Moeller to appear in my court at noon today.(394) 594. Mark ask her what to do next.(396) 595. He thinks it’s the best way to protect you, and I tend to agree.(398) 596. It took them about a year to find him.(398) 597. It’s the safest thing to do.(399) 598. Now, it’ll take a fuw days to work out the details of the witness program.(399) 599. The judge instructed the FBI yesterday to start working on it immediately, and I think it’s

18 the best thing to do.(399) 600. Because there’s no one else to trust.(401) 601. It might be a few days before Dr.Greenway will allow him to be moved.(401) 602. In contempt matters, the judge is required to bring you back into court periodically to allow you to purge yourself of contempt, in other words, to do what he wants you to do.(401) 603. It’s easy to sit here and say everything’ll be fine.(402) 604. He faces the audience, but of course was much too preoccupied to notice anyone.(403) 605. Muldanno pretended to ignore everyone.(403) 606. The courtroom deputy stopped in front of the bench and yelled instructions for all to sit.(404) 607. It was a stupid thing to do because it insulted Lamond and angered the other judges.(405) 608. The court is ready to proceed upon the motion of the defendant, Barry Muldanno, for a continuance.(405) 609. He’s filed every frivolous motion known to American jurusprudence to stall this prosecu- tion.(406) 610. He had not expected to prevail in this little matter, but he certainly hadn’t expected to get kicked in the teeth.(406) 611. Do you have anything relevant to say?(407) 612. his honor asked as if Foltrigg had yet to say anything of substance.(407) 613. The same court reporter with an even shorter skirt filed her nails and waited for the words to start flowing.(409) 614. Grinder learned against the wall and pressed his calves against it to keep his knees from shaking.(410) 615. He was just a low-paid courtroom bailiff with a uniform and a gun, and bills to pay.(411) 616. The lawyer with the grayest hair quickly stood to speak.(411) 617. His firm prospered because it paid seventy associates fifty thousand a year and expected them to bill five times that.(412) 618. He did not trust the corporate types who came down from the tall buildings to mingle with the lower class only when necessary.(412) 619. And the last thing I intend to do, Mr.Alliphant, is to get into a long, hot-air debate with you about the First Amendment.(414) 620. Grinder was about to vomit.(414) 621. Slick said in an effort at great drama, the martyr willing to face death.(414) 622. Harry had one final thing to say.(414) 623. she now longed to return to Ricky’s bed.(415) 624. The drugs—pills to sleep and pills to wake up and pills to get through it—deadened the mind so that her life was a series of snapshots thrown on the table one at a time.(415) 625. They want us to go to Portland.(415) 626. Just like they want us to do.(416) 627. I guess it’s something else I forgot to tell you.(416) 628. I want you to understand that I’m not answering for the same reasons I gave yesterday.(419)

19 629. and finally the plans to bug the lawyer’s phones that night.(420) 630. They listened to it the second time, and the shock began to wear off.(420) 631. Dianne’s skin broke out in goose pimples, and her eyes began to water.(421) 632. they waited for his honor to give direction.(421) 633. What would you like me to do next?(421) 634. The U.S. attorney in New Orleans intends to indict Muldannoand Gronke early next week on charges of obstruction of justice.(422) 635. when you guys can show me a way to completely protect my children, then I’ll help you.(423) 636. So you want him to stay in jail.(423) 637. he had no plans to leave for a long time.(424) 638. It was a few minutes after one, too early to start drinking, but he was edgy, and what the hell.(425) 639. Barry’s route to crime was preordained by family.(425) 640. The decision had been made to hit Boyette.(426) 641. He’d trotted around the globe searching for ways to spend taxpayers’ money.(427) 642. But then he panicked, and decided to hide the body in a different place.(427) 643. Gronke was tempted to ask where, but thought better of it.(428) 644. The star of the government’s case was a Mafia informant, a man who was not expected to live to testify.(428) 645. A .22 caliber Ruger had been seized from the apartment of one of Barry’s girlfriends, but, again, with no corpse it was impossible to determine the cause of death.(428) 646. Juries are hesitant to convict withour first knowing for certain that the vicrim is indeed dead.(428) 647. Boyette had plenty of reasons to disappear.(428) 648. Do you want me to call a doctor?(429) 649. they have nothing to lose by starting over .(432) 650. Roosevelt had failed to make the kid talk.(433) 651. It’s obvious the kid has no plans to talk anytime soon.(434) 652. I have no choice but to use the subpoenas.(434) 653. We asked the youth court in Memphis to help us with the kid.(434) 654. I’ve told them I want the boys in Memphis to pick the kid up tomorrow.(434) 655. We’ve made arrangements to house him here in the juvenile wing at city jail.(434) 656. We’re not required to notify the attorneys, but you’re welcome to call her if you like.(437) 657. all this serving of subpoenas was carefully coordinated to happen at roughly the same time.(437) 658. But it was more fun to use six men in three cars with radios and telephones and guns, and to strike quickly under cover of darkness like a Special Forces assault unit.(438) 659. If you don’t have a warrant, it’s time to get off my property.(440) 660. There was no hint of how he was to get there; no clue as to when he might return; no warning of what could happen if he failed to comply or failed to talk.(440)

20 661. She promised to call her in the morning.(442) 662. Foltrigg waits until late Friday to serve subpoenas for Monday morning.(442) 663. You file a motion in federal court to void the subpoena.(442) 664. We beg him to allow an emergency hearing to quash the subpoena.(442) 665. Then maybe I’ll have time to quash.(443) 666. We have to figure out a way to keep Mark here, Client.(443) 667. We can’t allow him to go to New Orleans.(443) 668. She ran from the room to get help.(444) 669. Says here to check on him every half hour, and if there’s any doubt, to rush him to St.Peter’s and call Dr.Greenway.(445) 670. two U.S. marshals were here to give him a subpoena.(446) 671. but he managed to keep the thumb in his mouth.(447) 672. You want us to shoot him?(449) 673. Nothing but an attempt to scare you into talking.(450) 674. She told me to come to Ricky’s room.(452) 675. Then I’ll figure out another way to escape, maybe.(453) 676. Drive into it, just like you’re looking for a place to park.(454) 677. Maybe she could pull strings and keep her license to practice.(457) 678. She drove three blocks, catching red lights at each one, while waiting for Mark to speak.(458) 679. This street is about to stop at the river.(458) 680. He spun around to admire the Memphis skyline fading in the distance.(460) 681. And those same cops will sound so stupid trying to explain how an eleven-year-old kid escaped from jail.(461) 682. I wonder if I’m the youngest kid to ever escape from jail.(461) 683. It’s hard to believe.(462) 684. I’ve always thought that would be a wonderful way to live.(462) 685. One good thing about jail is that it allows you to think a lot.(463) 686. Maybe he was just talking to hear himself talk.(463) 687. Maybe I was too eager to believe everything.(463) 688. Where’s the last place in the world they’d expect us to run to?(464) 689. She was beginning to agree with him.(465) 690. I’m going to New Orleans to dig up a dead body.(466) 691. We’ll tell the cops to drop everything against us.(466) 692. He was dog ugly to start with.(466) 693. I’ll tell Client to call her later today.(468) 694. But it was wrong to escape.(469) 695. It’s wrong for you to dodge the law too, isn’t it?(469) 696. It took me a while to figure it out.(470) 697. And I’m not willing to give them what they want until me, my mother, and my brother are already far away.(470) 698. you wouldn’t allow your client to take any chances.(470)

21 699. I want to make sure we are safely put away somewhere.(470) 700. It’ll take some time to move Ricky.(470) 701. It makes more sense to know now, Reggie.(470) 702. How much trouble will it be to find the body?(471) 703. Durston were instructed to meet him immediately.(472) 704. McThune asked him to be ready to come to Memphis.(473) 705. he asked him to come on down with the rest of the gang.(473) 706. Ms.Watts was evidently preparing to leave her shift.(474) 707. It took six hours to realize the kid was missing.(474) 708. He was eager to leave.(475) 709. Ord left the room to find a phone.(475) 710. She held the cigarette with a trembling hand, unable to light it.(477) 711. it would take them days to find him.(479) 712. She expected him to call any minute.(479) 713. They went to her house to serve her around eight.(479) 714. She’d be kind of stupid to help the kid escape.(480) 715. They plan to search the hospital until noon, then give up.(480) 716. they’ve even sent two men to find Judge Roosevelt.(480) 717. Of all the places to hide, why did you pick a suburb of New Orleans?(482) 718. It was a wonderful place to grow up, especially for a boy who wanted to be nothing but a gangster.(484) 719. Stupid to leave the body around here.(486) 720. Stupid to tell your lawyer.(486) 721. and now you need someone to rescue you.(486) 722. You’re coming into my office to ask for help.(486) 723. Are you planning to do some talkn’?(486) 724. All you had to do was hit him over the head, coupla bullets, clean out his pockets, leave the body for the whores to trip over.(487) 725. you’re too dumb to keep it simple.(487) 726. Is it easy to get to?(487) 727. How long will it take to dig it up or whether you have to do?(487) 728. Johnny was known to have ice water in his veins.(488) 729. Clifford had invited him to go.(489) 730. The mistake had been to tell Clifford.(489) 731. And you want me to send in three men to dig it up.(489) 732. No one seemed to notice.(490) 733. Took about thirty minutes to dig a shallow grave, put the body in it, and mix the cin- crete.(490) 734. They would continue to patrol the tunnels and walkways and corridors.(491) 735. She’d told them to either produce a search warrant, or get the hell off her property.(491) 736. but there was no valid reason to obtain a search warrant for his apartment.(492)

22 737. Harry was livid, to say the least, and was now en route to the city.(492) 738. the great man had little to say.(492) 739. two agents had been dispatched to meet him at the airport.(492) 740. McThune was reluctant to add the name of Reggie Love to it.(492) 741. he found it difficult to believe one would actually help a child escape.(492) 742. There was little to do but wait.(493) 743. Perhaps it was the perfect place to hide a body.(495) 744. Something would happen along the way to spook them.(500) 745. They climbed the opposite bank, a much steeper one but with more vines and saplings to grab on to.(501) 746. He’d learned how to line up three trees ahead of him to keep from getting lost.(501) 747. She clutched Mark’s hand, and found it impossible to believe that the body of a United States senator was buried less than a hundred feet from where she was now hiding.(502) 748. She caught her breath long enough to whisper.(503) 749. Don’t you think it’s time to share it with me?(503) 750. Until they made a mistake, it would be impossible to find them.(503) 751. He’d been sent on this unusual errand to perform most of the grunt work.(505) 752. His two buddies would then be forced to go it alone.(506) 753. Clifford obviously had been too busy to tidy things up before he passed on.(508) 754. He’d returned the next day to cover it all with gravel and put the boat in place.(509) 755. There was plenty to fear without thinking of muggers.(510) 756. It might be too hard to actually find the body.(512) 757. I’ll look under the boat, just to make sure it’s there.(512) 758. He opened the gate just wide enough to slide through.(513) 759. He rocked gently on all fours like a lion ready to kill.(517) 760. They’re too busy to worry about us.(518) 761. The rock would have to be low enough to miss the branches, yet high enough to clear a row of hedges.(518) 762. Mr.Ballantine aimed the shotgun at the window as if to prevent another attack.(519) 763. They were in a huge hurry, but at the same time careful not to attract attention from the idiots next door.(521) 764. he had told her to watch the gate.(521) 765. I don’t think it’s a good idea to leave now.(524) 766. In fact, they could be close by waiting for things to settle down so they can return.(524) 767. Mark lowered onto one knee, stuck another weed in his mouth to chew on, and watched the garage.(525) 768. I want you to stay here.(526) 769. She scrambled and fought to get up in the darkness.(527) 770. she damned sure not willing to pause in this getaway.(528) 771. She did not wish to pursue this conversation.(529) 772. I’ve always thought it would be so nice to live in the mountains.(530)

23 773. You’ll have a much nicer place to live, new friends, mountains all around you if that’s what you want.(531) 774. Then he broke, finally, and sobbed loudly with no attempt to hold it back, no effort at being tough now.(532) 775. The people who buried the body tried to retrive it last night, but they were unable to do so.(533) 776. I’m willing to bet they’ll try again very soon.(533) 777. I want your assurance that you’ll do everything in your power to compel the attendance of Roy Foltrigg before the Juvenile Court of Shelby Country.(539) 778. We were told to come get you.(540) 779. She always found something to change in his typing at the office.(541) 780. We told them to knock on his door.(541) 781. I want to assure you the FBI will do anything you want to protect this kid and his fam- ily.(543) 782. K.O. has full authority to act for me.(543) 783. Wa had nothing to do with the grand jury subpoenas.(543) 784. could you give us an idea how long it’ll take to get to the body?(544) 785. He waited for her to say something.(545) 786. Your son has made the decision to talk.(547) 787. I think it’s in the best interests of Mark for you to do the same.(547) 788. That’s easy for you to say.(548) 789. Reggie asked the clerk to check the fax macine.(549) 790. He suddenly felt important, sitting in the rear of his own black car, being rushed to the airport to board a private jet, cops all around just to protect him.(550) 791. He’d waited at the warehouse for the body to be delivered to him.(552) 792. He had waited in the darkness on his front porch for the paper to arrive, then ran to fetch it in his pajamas and bathrobe.(553) 793. Rushed to the airport by private car, waiting for his private jet to take him anywhere he wanted to go.(554) 794. Mark says he wants to live in the mountains.(556) 795. Reggie half expected the engines to start, the plane to taxi slowly from the hangar, out onto the runway, and Mark to dazzle them with a perfect takeoff.(557) 796. Director Voyles would like us to stick close for a few months.(558) 797. Reggie had nothing else to say.(560) 798. For once in his life, he was not ashamed to cry in public.(563)
