Bryant slowed his steps until his vantage point allowed him to see the driver’s side of the car. When he saw who was standing next to the car speaking with the driver, he dropped the bag of garbage and froze. Margo Sutter had a frightened expression while listening to the FBI agent talk with her in a harsh tone. Out of curiosity he began walking toward the car. Margo saw him coming and immediately tried to cut him off. She stepped in front of him while the FBI agent seemed amused through the reflection in the side-view mirror. Bryant tried to get around her, but she held her ground, palming his chest and pushing him back. The Expedition began to roll away. Turkle’s smile beamed back at him through the rearview mirror. “What was that all about?” Bryant asked as the FBI agent turned the corner and out of sight. “He’s trying to scare me,” she said. “Why?” “Because,” she walked a few feet away, then back. She looked up at Bryant with pity in her eyes. “I’m sorry.”
