"I can't come over then, because I wouldn't want to be there when they get back."

"I think they're going to let you live here with us when they get a little money."

"And how are they getting this money?"

"Insurance, like I told you. It was Connie's apartment that burned, you know."
"How does that work? The insurance, I mean."

"I have no idea. All I know is that my brother was insured and he lost his apart-ment, so that's that."

"How much is it worth?"

"I don't know. Enough for them to risk going back into Chicago when lots of people, and the cops, are
looking for them there."

"Why are the cops looking for them?"

"Lots of reasons. I wish they wouldn't go down there for a while, but when they smell money..."

"But you don't know how much?"

"All I know is that it's a lot, because they have to come there in person."

Lionel realized how strange this conversa-tion was. Talia would be looking for some place to live
tomorrow. Should he let her stay in his home, where she was now? No, that wouldn't be good. She had
moved in with her brother and his friend, knowing they were up to no good, knowing it was wrong, and
knowing it couldn't last. She would probably be arrested and held until the police determined whether she
was in on any of the illegal stuff. Lionel didn't think she was.

"Well, I'll see you, Talia."

"You're not coming over?"

"Not tonight," he said. "Maybe I'll see you soon."

Lionel knew he would.

Law" painted on the window, Tom Fogarty took them to the back, out of sight. He had the answering
machine with him. "Here," he said to Vicki, pointing to a chair. "I need you to record a message."

As Fogarty was writing it out, Vicki asked what it was all about.
