Reconcilable Differences. Ana Leigh
Diamonds. She suddenly remembered Colin McDermott had mentioned diamonds to Robert in Morocco.
“To what?” Deb asked.
Trish snapped back to awareness. “I’m sorry, what did you say?”
“You were saying there are enough diamonds to what?”
“To blind a person, Debra Carpenter. Shame on you.”
Deb took a long look at the bracelet. “There are a lot, aren’t there?”
“I’ll say. It must have cost a mint.”
Deb’s smooth brow creased in a frown. “You don’t suppose Tom is having an affair, do you?”
“Yeah, right!” Trish scoffed. “When mules fly like Pegasus.”
The two women looked at each other, broke into laughter, and once again clinked their glasses together.
As soon as Trish returned home, she looked up the telephone number of Kim Harrington in New York, and was lucky enough to catch her at home. In loyalty to her brother, Kim refused to give her Dave’s address. After Trish explained they had run into each other again, and she had to talk to him, Kim finally conceded that at age thirty-four her big brother was old enough to handle his own problems. She relented and gave Trish Dave’s telephone number and address.
Thoughts about McDermott, Robert and diamonds kept running through Trish’s mind for the rest of the day. She had forgotten about the diamonds entirely and realized she had never mentioned them to the CIA. From what she remembered of the conversation between Robert and McDermott, the Irishman had indicated Robert had the diamonds in his possession. He would still have to have them because he and Ali had never left her before Dave and his squad showed up. And since they’d been transported home on military planes, Robert could easily have smuggled the diamonds into the country. She was curious enough to try and find out.
Trish rooted hurriedly through a dresser drawer, found what she was looking for, and hurried back to her car.
