Chapter 90

BACK IN THE EXPLORER, I called in to Cappy. "I want you to run the background on a Charles Danko. Born in Sacra-mento, 1953-54. Possibly deceased. That's the best I have. And go back as far as you have to go. If this guy's dead, I want to see the death certificate to prove it."

"I'll get on it," Cappy said. "Meanwhile, I got one for you. George Bengosian, Lieutenant¹. You were right, he did get a pre-med degree from the University of Chicago. But that was after he transferred there from Berkeley. Bengosian was there in 'sixty-nine."

"Thanks, Cappy. Great work. Keep it up."

So now we had three - Jill, Lightower, and Bengosian - who were tied to the murderous police raid on Hope Street. And the code name August Spies linked to Billy Danko.

I didn't know what to do with it yet. As Danko said, it was all a bunch of suppositions.

While Jacobi drove back to the city, I finally dozed² for a bit. It was my first solid sleep in three days. We got back to the Hall about six. "In case you were wondering," Jacobi said, "you snore."

"Purr," I corrected. "I purr."

Before heading back to my office, I wanted to check on Molinari. I ran upstairs and squeezed myself into his office. A meeting was in progress. What was this?

Chief Tracchio was sitting at his desk. So was Tom Roach from the FBI. And Strickland, who was in charge of the G-8 advance security.

"Lightower was there," I announced, barely able to hold back my excitement. "At Berkeley - at the time of the BNA raid. George Bengosian was, too. They were all there."

"I know," Molinari said.
