Chapter 15: The Drive

I opened it in the dark of the wine room, with my back against a rack of bottles.

The case had a false floor.

Under it lay a flash drive the size of my thumb, with a plug at each end.

One end was made for a phone.

I took Finbar's phone out of my coat.

He had not asked for it since the day I took it, and I understood now that he had hoped I would use it.

The drive clicked into the port.

A single folder opened, named for a date and nothing else.

Inside were two files.

I opened the smaller one first.

It was a scan of a document with a federal seal at the top.

The heading read "Cooperation and Non-Prosecution Agreement."

I read the first paragraph, and the room tilted.
