I told him about Jay’s report that someone was asking about me. “That’s good,” said Cochran. He was sitting at the table, tapping on a laptop. Lynn must have overheard us as she came down from her studio. “Good?” she asked. “Yes. We want Wolfe and his people to be convinced The Kid is only a pickpocket. If they were to suspect otherwise,” his voice trailed off. “We get the picture,” I answered. I gave Lynn a kiss. “So what’s new back here at Hotel Book Nook?” I looked around the kitchen, but we were the only three in the room. “Old Tom is watching the store. Where are Barbara, Max and April?” “Max, April and Candy are off at a radio station for yet another interview,” Lynn told me. She poked my stomach, and I recoiled. She nodded. I have no idea how she figured it out that I had been slugged, but she did. Her next question told me that. “How was the street this morning? Any problems?” Lynn looked me in the eyes as she asked that, and there was no way I could evade telling her.
