Sid flashed her a quick glance. “Who was the first one?”
“An engineer out at the dam.”
His eyes glittered. “Why didn’t you tell me about him?”
“Why should I? I didn’t know what he was talking about even. He got the wrong number somewhere.” She turned ‘to me and said, “And I presume he’s the one who tipped you off, and that’s why you’re here.”
“What was this man’s name?” I asked.
