Scenario VII (Kicking the Hornet’s Nest)

Evening, Thursday November 5, 1981 - Interviews at Brooklyn’s 92nd Precinct

DETECTIVE FRANK MALLOY:

“Now here’s where it gets really weird.  Last night, a middle eastern guy comes into the precinct, claims he’s the owner of 169 Clinton - - claims he’s been robbed of some antiquity the apartment was furnished with - - says it was of immense value - - says he believes GeAnna is in possession of it and starts pressuring us that if we don’t get on top of this investigation he’s going to the media - - then, no sooner does he leave than the FBI shows up here with a few executives from AT&T, one in horrible shape, says he was at the site of the bombing the other night, guy named Jeffries, claims someone else at AT&T also had an . . . “interest” . . . in GeAnna, a ‘Joseph Lamb’ - - says Lamb went missing right before the break-in at the AT&T offices the other day, says Lamb might know Sarah’s whereabouts but, some evidence was stolen out of his office right before we got there, notes and things about Sarah - - when we asked if anyone had access to Lamb’s office another employee finally came forward . . . a “Raymond,” says yeah, after the break-in someone else came in and went through Lamb’s office and might have taken some things, when we asked who - - he told us . . . another AT&T exec . . . an “Orrin Hull.”  [Malloy Looks over at Hull gravely]

ORRIN HULL:

“You don’t understand . . . Sarah and I, we’ve been in love our whole lives. You have to help me find her. I found this in Lamb’s desk.” Hull removes a note from his pocket and unfolds it presenting it to Malloy (desperate for help but simultaneously incriminating himself).

The note is dated September 11, 1981 and is from Sarah to John Bodak, it’s a lover’s note imploring Bodak to return to Walden Pond with her . . . only, strangely, since the last time Orrin looked at the note, the note no longer describes the location as ‘Walden Pond’ . . . as if the writing on the note itself has changed with no trace of alteration . . . the note now describes the location as ‘Hudson Lake.’

Hull reluctantly passes the note to Malloy . . . “I think GeAnna’s at this location . . . but . . . I remember it being called something different.”

DETECTIVE MIKE RIZZO INTERRUPTS:

“Look Hull, I’m going to be frank with you, we don’t know exactly what’s going on here but we know you’re involved and you better start getting straight with us. We have reason to beleive your life is in danger.

While responding to another crime scene, a dramatic break-in at the Arcadia Building in Manhattan, a search of the 6th floor neighbor’s apartment, on the same line, right below the unit that was broken into, revealed another document . . . a sequential list of name . . . 32 names in all . . .”

Rizzo passes the paper to Hull who begins scanning it over . . . then it catches his attention, starting with the fourth name: “#4 Lucas Lake #5 John Bodak #6 Joseph Lamb and #7 . . . Orrin Hull.”

Hull gravely looks back up from the document at the detectives.

Malloy takes a long drag of his cigar.
