“Nope,” agreed the first man. “We may have screwed that up. But I’m still not sure about his poker buddies and other friends here. Did he know any of them well enough to turn over serious information to them? We don’t know.”
“There’s no way to find out,” said the second man. “Maybe the most important thing we can do is find out where he stashed the information.”
“There’s another team working on his contacts back in Baltimore,” the first man reminded him. “Maybe they’ll find out.”
“I hope so,” said Man Three. “Because I sure as hell don’t want to go back without finding something.”
The three exchanged looks.
“Why,” asked the second man, “do I feel like we’re Curly, Larry and Moe?”
“Because,” said the first man, “we weren’t given decent intel. We have to do that as well as find the stuff.”
They all fell silent again. Each of them was thinking of events in Afghanistan.
Then Man Three stirred. “Hey, One? Did you know Larry Duke?”
“Why?”
“Because when you were...interrogating him, I got the feeling you did.”
“Never met him,” came the clipped response from the first man.
The other two exchanged glances. Neither was quite sure they believed it. They knew they’d come for the money. What if Man One had a different agenda?
