“I didn’t know about the murder,” Billy said.
“Hell, Boss, there’s lots of details we got to work out yet. But I’m sure Mr. Cotton an’ his friends will be willin’ to cooperate once they see the choice is between that or the gallows.”
“Yes, I wouldn’t be surprised. But what about Jason Terrell? Did he really survive the bombing too or was that just more of their lies?”
“The U.S. attorney is fine, Billy. He’s down on the first floor, kept there just like you been. A nurse friend tells me he’s got a busted eardrum an’ likely won’t ever hear as good as he used to, but apart from that, he’s just fine.”
“Thank goodness.”
“Ready to get back to work now, Billy?”
“Damn right I am. Just as soon as I personally put handcuffs on Mr. Cotton here.”
