“She said he whispered her name before he shoved her into the street. There’s nothing accidental about that, and you know damned well I wouldn’t be making a case of it if I didn’t believe it was true.”
“Come on…”
“Natalie’s not the type to cry wolf, I tell you.”
“You haven’t gotten far enough in this investigation to be sure what type this Patterson woman is, or to be sure if this Moore character is still in the country—if he is the perpetrator.”
“He’s the one. He had motive and the opportunity to obtain the Candoxine. You know that as well as I do. And I’ll make you a bet that as soon as we do some checking to determine his location, we’ll find out—”
Breaking his silence, Stansky interjected, “I’ve already checked on Moore’s location. There’s no record of his return to England…or of his leaving the U.S., for that matter. He’s still in this country somewhere as far as the records show.” At Brady’s inquiring glance, he added, “What did you think I was doing while you were babysitting at the hospital all day?”
Brady looked back at Wilthauer’s frown. “What does that tell you?”
“That you’re both jumping to conclusions.”
“I don’t know. Are we?”
Brady stared at Wilthauer boldly. Damn, the man was hardheaded! He’d been able to get a uniform stationed at Natalie’s door temporarily, but he knew temporarily wouldn’t do. He said, “Look, Captain, we can’t afford to take the risk. If Natalie gets attacked again and the attack succeeds, there’ll be hell to pay. Natalie’s the golden girl of the CDC. They won’t take it lightly that we didn’t protect her.”
He knew he had hit the bull’s-eye with that thought when Wilthauer hesitated, then responded, “All right. You win. I’ll keep a uniform outside the Patterson woman’s hospital door until she’s released, but remember, we can’t provide protection for an extended period. We don’t have the manpower to spare, so find this Moore guy and make it quick. Manderling provided us with his picture. Leak it to the newspapers. Notify the networks. Flood the town with his picture, and then get set for the deluge. If he’s still around, you’ll get him.”
