... Mary answered with a nervous laugh. "Hello, dear." Walter mumbled a hello, his eyes refusing to meet hers. "Please, have a seat," Beck pulled her attention back. He guided her to the leather armchair beside the one Walter sat in before the great desk. "Would you like some coffee? Maybe tea or a soft-drink?" "Coffee, please," Mary answered. Beck settled behind his desk, pushing a button on the phone. "Amber, coffee for Mrs. Conley," he barked. Mary could tell he was a man used to giving orders. A moment later, the sullen blonde from the desk out front entered. She moved to a bar at the side of the room and poured the coffee, then brought the cup and saucer to Mary. "Thank you," Mary smiled sweetly, eliciting an icy glare. "Will there be anything else, sir?" Amber asked, turning toward the big man. Beck waved her away with a negligent gesture.

"There must be some mistake," she said weakly. "No mistake," Feinberg interjected, holding up another piece of paper. "He's already signed his confession." He passed the confession to Mary, who held it in shaking fingers and tried to read. After a moment, she glanced at a still-despondent Walter, then passed it back. "What if he gave back the money?" "No good," Feinberg assured her. "As it says here in the confession, Mr. Conley used the money to cover gambling debts." Gambling debts?
