Chapter 16 – Crane is a Drain

“Tip line call LT.” The Jr. Trooper held up his phone receiver and pointed it toward Nichols. “I think you better take this one yourself.”
Nichols nodded, “Transfer it to line two. I’ll take it in my cube.” He hustled into the semi-private cubicle that he used as an office when he wasn’t out on an investigation. He picked up his handset and punched the blinking line.
“Lieutenant Nichols; May I ask who’s calling?”
A woman’s voice said, “I prefer to remain anonymous Lieutenant as I told the other trooper.” At his swift intake of breath, she continued, “Relax there chief, we’re playing for the same team. I think you’ll find what I have to tell you very interesting.”
“What’s this in regards to?”
“The death of Terri Sweeting.”
