Bain said, "Thank you," and sipped her coffee again before sighingly saying,
"I'm sorry, Mr. Cade, but you and your people were dropped on us from out of the
blue. I simply don't know you well enough to just take your word for some
things."
Shrugging again, Cade said, "No problem. Someone once said, 'Trust, but
verify'. It's a good policy. Now answer a question for me, please."
"If I can."
"Who was the woman who flew off with the car?"
"I can't tell you that." Heading off his next question, she quickly added,
"I don't know who she is. Or was, I'm afraid. She was apparently dropped on us,
too."
"Apparently?"
With a curt nod, she said, "I hate to admit it, but she was a complete
surprise to the Atlanta PD."
Cade met her gaze for a moment, decided that if she wasn't telling him the
truth, it wasn't worth pushing, and said, "I've seen tabloid reports of two
superwomen and didn't really believe in either one of them until today. One is
supposed to hang out in or around California and the other has been reported
mostly around Las Vegas."
"That's what I've heard, too. I made a request for info as soon as I heard
what happened.
