...Santoro was there already, sitting at the end of a Formica table with a cup of coffee. Belson and I got some and sat at the table with him.....
"I hear you know Rita Fiore," Santoro said.
"You work for the Norfolk DA when she was there?" I said.
Santoro looked reminiscent. "I did," he said.
"I'm working for her now," I said.
"Getting any fringe benefits?" Santoro said.
"Rita and I are friends," I said with dignity.
"And Rita's got no enemies," Santoro said....
"Seriously," Santoro said, "you ever give Rita a little bop?"
"In my case it would be a big bop," I said. "And it's not your business."
"Hey, just killing a little time."
"Kill it another way," I said.
Santoro shrugged. We drank our coffee.
After a while, Belson said, "I don't think it would be such a big bop."
"I don't wish to discuss it," I said.
"I'll check it with Susan," Belson said.
"She's promised not to tell," I said.”
