asked, trying to get them to concentrate on the facts, rather than on their individual points of view.
    ‘For whatever reason, you’ve decided to take on an active role in this case. What’s the story so far?’ Daniel asked, focusing on Malone.
    Malone filled him in on what he’d learned from Erin Costello.
    Daniel and Taylor listened to what he had to say, and then Daniel added, ‘Great, certainly gives me a reason to get dressed today.’
    ‘Probably, but I still like your casual new look.’ Malone laughed.

Chapter 5
     

     
    A nthony Cain was sick and tired from the past week’s travel, but he was convinced he was doing the right thing. If he had more time, there were so many people and places he could and needed to visit. But the clock was ticking, so he picked the ones he felt he could influence the most, and who in turn, would be the most influential. His first meeting in New York gave him a big boost; they’d told him they were going to do all they could to get the message out, and nothing was going to stop them.
    Richmond Heights, Ohio, was a bit of a loss; his predecessor Goddard’s work had been far too good there. Cain had met with a small group that had contact with the relatives of the Rand trials, but time and Cain’s corporation had curbed their enthusiasm; they were spent. The long drive here to Dallas had been exhausting, but he needed to be strong because next it was on to a Medical facility in Albuquerque to talk about the true benefits of laetrile and shark cartilage, and then finally, to either Mexico or California — so much to do, so little time.
    As he waited in the office reception area, he was sure that aside from Mexico or California, this meeting in Dallas would be one of the most influential and important. A hugely outspoken enemy of both his and his ex-employer worked from this office, and if anyone was going to cause a global stir, Dr. Brad Turnbold and his giant ego would be the one to do it.
     

     
    Malone and Taylor had decided to spend the day in the city, and in particular, the LAPD station where they intended to meet with Detective Logan, Malone’s long-standing friend.
    ‘Thought I’d seen the last of you!’ Logan joked as he shook Malone’s hand.
    Although they’d spoken on the phone, it had been a while since they’d seen each other.
    ‘And don’t you look as beautiful as ever,’ he said, kissing a blushing Taylor on the cheek.
    ‘Always the charmer. Looks like you’ve lost a bit of weight and smartened up your act.’ Malone joked.
    ‘Yep, got a new girl and started cycling.’
    ‘Sure you have – I didn’t think detectives could afford cosmetic surgery!’
    ‘Hardy har har… What brings you downtown anyway?’ Logan asked.
    ‘I need a favor.’
    ‘I didn’t think it would be a social call.’
    Logan led them through to an interview room and sat down with them.
    ‘Fire away, what can I do for you?’
    Malone filled Logan in on the Joshua Costello case, and asked if there was anything he could do to help them.
    Logan left them in the room while he went to check out the details. On his return, he told them a detective Rodriguez was handling the case. ‘He’s a good man,’ Logan added.
    ‘Do you know if he’s had any luck?’ Malone asked.
    ‘According to the file, they’re going through the usual motions, but nothing’s turned up yet.’
    ‘Is there any way of jumping us up the priority list?’ Taylor asked.
    ‘You know I can’t do that. But I will put in a good word for you both and get him to maybe give the case a bit more attention.’
    ‘Can we meet him?’ Malone asked
    ‘He’s not back until after lunch; I can get you in to see him then if you’d like.’
    They said goodbye to Logan, walked a few blocks, and found a small café that boasted the best coffee in LA. They ordered what turned out to be highly average lattes, but surprisingly, pretty good pastrami sandwiches. With Malone deep in thought, they both ate in reflective
