Chapter 16

“No saying that it won’t happen to this one, too.” Richard C. Deems didn’t want to be convinced.

“No, but she’s got a head start on the territory. She’ll better know how to handle herself there.” Craig offered, “Aside from that, I think this one’s a better agent.”

“She’s green.”

“No, she isn’t. I saw her work on that Baltimore bust. She was the front with Krakowski. Walked right up the dock like two star-struck lovers and got right into position to close up any back door escape. When everything busted loose, she kept her head, even when bullets were flying right around her. I saw a.48 hit the wall about two feet from her head and she didn’t even jump. She’s got a lot of street experience.”
