“No problem.”

“We have to leave.”

“Right. Wait.” Jeremy put his hands up to stop them. “You know who did this.”

Nathan looked at Harv, then back to Jeremy. “Yeah, we do.”

“It would make my job a whole lot easier.”

“We can’t.”

“I have to tell my boss something. This crime scene didn’t just land in my lap. He’ll want to know how I found it.”

“You’ll have to decide how much of our involvement you share with him. The less you reveal about us, the better.”

“You’re stand-up guys. I’ll think of something without compromising you. Can you be contacted after you leave?”

“No.”

“I figured you’d say that.” Jeremy handed him the keys to the sedan. “I can’t leave this crime scene unattended. Did either of you touch anything?”

“Just my fingertips on the front doorknob. Do you need anything out of your vehicle?”

“No, I can keep people away without using crime scene tape. Go on, get outta here before I change my mind. I’ll need your FBI connection, whoever it is, to explain to my supervisory special agent why I gave you my vehicle. You do have an FBI contact, right? Preferably kinda high up? SAC or better?”

“SAC,” he confirmed. “We’ll leave the keys on top of the front right tire. Stay safe, Jeremy.” They shook hands and left the condo.

Harvey drove the FBI sedan out of the condo complex and turned right at Highway 276. “I felt bad withholding info from Jeremy.”

“Me too, but it’s the right thing to do. We should tell Holly she needs to call her counterpart in Salt Lake to cover Duns.”

“We’ll also need her to arrange things with Salt Lake’s ME. We can’t just show up unannounced and ask to see Kramer’s body.”

He pulled his phone and appreciated how easily a special agent in charge of a major FBI field office had made it to contact her.

She answered immediately. “Was it the crime scene?”

“Yes, I have you on speaker. Harv’s with me.”

She hesitated for a second. “Was it bad?”

He closed his eyes, thinking of the Dalton family. “Yes.”

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine, but we need your help with a couple of things.”

“Sure, no problem.”

He briefed her on everything they had so far, including his theory that Montez knew Kramer, and that the murder may have been personally motivated.

Holly seemed encouraged and said she’d get Henning to start following up on leads. Namely, the purchase of the tools and chain-link fencing and anything else that Jeremy might turn up with the neighbors. Because Montez hadn’t expected Kramer’s body to be found, his men probably hadn’t been too concerned about where they purchased their wares.
