“He’s kind of a player, Leo Taggart. His last girlfriend was younger than Lenny.”
“Nice.”
“Lenny’s no prince, but he’s nothing like his father in that respect. Anyway, last I heard, his mother lives out west somewhere. Lenny doesn’t have much of a relationship with her.”
“You don’t know her name?”
“No idea.”
“How about F.W.?”
“F.W.” Brooklynn tilted her head to the side. “If I remember correctly, Jewel’s father was named Frank.”
“Is that the one who owned Webb’s Harborside?”
“Good memory. His wife is Fiona. She and the kids own the restaurant now.”
Fiona was still alive, then. Forbes wrote the names in his notebook. Then realized… “Jewel’s your assistant.”
“She manages the gallery.”
“Her father could’ve been involved.” His heart thumped. “Her mother could be now. You’ve been communicating with her.”
“I trust Jewel.”
“Maybe you shouldn’t.”
“I have to trust somebody, Ford.”
He winced at the name, at the irony. “But you haven’t told her where you are or who you’re with, right?”
“Andyouhave to trustme. I said I wouldn’t.”
“Just making sure.”
Brooklynn had no names to go with the rest of the initials. Maybe none of the people she’d mentioned were involved. Maybe they all were.
He’d look into every one, just to be sure.
The next page had notations, some referring to the initials on the previous page.
L.S. cryptic comment at CC mtg.
O.T. Coerced?
Steer clear of F.W. Dangerous.
G.P.? Greedy but involved?
They went on like that, notes about most of the initials, confirming Forbes’s guess that they referred to people.
So many people.
Had Dad been trying to figure out who all was involved in The Network? If so, why? To have something to use against them? Blackmail material?
Or maybe he was afraid he’d get caught and wanted to have information to turn over to the police to get himself out of trouble.
If so, then Dad was a drug smuggleranda back-stabber.
