Chapter 91

IT ONLY TOOK ME A SECOND. "You found the FBI file on the BNA?"

"Better," Molinari said. "We found one of the FBI agents who was in charge of the raid on Hope Street.

"William Danko was a card-carrying member of the Weathermen. You can be sure of it. He was sighted casing the site of the regional offices of Grumman, which were bombed in September of 1969. His code name, August Spies, was picked up in monitored phone traffic of known Weathermen lines. The kid was no innocent, Lindsay. He was involved in murder."

Molinari pushed forward a yellow legal pad filled with his handwriting. "The FBI had begun following him about three months before the raid. There were a couple of others involved out of the Berkeley cell. The FBI was able to turn one of them, use him as a CI. It's amazing how the threat of twenty-five years in a federal prison puts a crimp in a promis-ing medical career."

"Bengosian!" I said. A rush surged through my veins¹. I felt validated².

Molinari nodded. "They turned Bengosian, Lindsay. That's how they got to the house on Hope Street that night. Bengosian betrayed his friends. You were right - and there's more."

"Lightower," I said expectantly.

"He was Danko's roommate," Molinari replied. "The school cracked down on students active in the SDS. Maybe Lightower decided³ it was time for a semester abroad.

"And one of the FBI agents who led the raid, who went inside the house that morning, he got promoted. Spent his twenty years in the Bureau, retired⁴ right here in San Fran-cisco. His name was Frank T. Seymour. Name ring a bell?"

Yeah, it rang a bell, but it didn't fill me with exhilaration. Just a sickening feeling.

Frank T. Seymour was one of the people killed in the blast at the Rincon Center.
