Avery, Royce McKnight, Oliver Lambert, Harold O'Kane and Nathan Locke were nervously sitting around a small conference table. Mitch walked in.

" Have a seat Mitch". Nathan frowned. " Tell us everything".

" I was eating lunch at Lansky's Deli yesterday". Mitch's voice hesitated. " He walked up and sat down at my table".

Locke stared at Mitch. " Had you seen this man before?".

" No". Mitch stared at Locke. " He showed me a badge he said his name was Special Agent Wayne Tarrance FBI".

" What did he ask you?".

" Even though it was only a five minute conversation". Mitch hesitated. " Two things he said really bothered me".

" And what are those?" replied Locke.

" He warned me not to trust anyone". Mitch stared at Locke. " He also told me the deaths of Kozinski and Hodge were not accidents".

" Mitch, we have had trouble with the FBI and the IRS before".

" Why?".

" Mitch, we have been slugging it out with the FBI and the IRS in tax litigation for the past 20 years".

Mitch grinned finally. " That makes sense".

Locke stared at Mitch. " Just let us know if it happens again".
