“And this is Peter Darrow.”
Otis nodded. Darrow flashed a smile and proffered
his hand.
“Pleased to meet you, Mister Kaille.”
Ethan shook the man’s hand before facing Adams
again. “You said you had been expecting me. Then you
know why I’ve come.”
“I believe we do, yes,” Adams said. “You’ve been
hired by Abner Berson in the matter of his daughter’s
death. Isn’t that right?”
“It is, sir. And nearly everyone I’ve spoken to about
it believes that your friends were involved.”
Adams narrowed his eyes. “Our friends?”
“And who is it you’ve spoken to?” Otis broke in.
“Berson’s friends, no doubt. Tories, every one.”
“He has a point,” Adams said. “Berson is well
acquainted with those who administer the province. So
is Cyrus Derne, who I believe was to marry Jennifer
Berson.”
“So is Mister Kaille.”
“Meaning what?” Ethan demanded of Darrow, who
had spoken.
