“They went out on the trailer today,” Swank said in his rich timbre. He was sitting at a large mahogany desk in an immense den. A fire burned in the huge limestone fireplace, despite the warm weather. He cradled the phone with his shoulder as he reached across the desk, grabbed a bottle of expensive scotch and poured himself another glass. “Four of them. But the one you’ll be especially interested in is the ten-pointer,” Swank said as he went on to describe the “magnificent beast.”
Swank grunted a few times, nodding. “Good. Yes, good.” Then he hung up. Swank had a habit of never saying good-bye.
By the time he finished his conversation, a man who sounded just like Red O’Brien had already made an anonymous call to 911.
