as he could remember. Finally, an address came back. He used street view to see

the place.

 

It was a mansion on the water behind high walls with an imposing steel gate. He

saw what looked to be a security shack right outside the gate.

 

Ballard had obviously retired a very rich man after spending his career selling

stuff to Uncle Sam.

 

Rogers committed the address to memory and cleared the search from his phone.

 

He next tried to find Claire Jericho’s address. He found what he expected:

nothing. He doubted that she had retired to the Outer Banks in a big house

behind high walls.

 

Well, if he couldn’t find her on his phone, he would have to rely on Chris

Ballard to fill in the blanks.

 

Rogers didn’t care if Ballard didn’t want to tell him.

 

The man would tell him.

 

He sat back, closed his eyes, and counted off the time until his career as a

professional bouncer began.
