"No idea what you're talking about." Gander Isaacs brushed crumbs from his tie and gulped a drink of coffee while shuffling giant piles of files around on the surface of his desk.

After all, Gerri's job was about finding the truth and solving crimes, not arresting people for fraud. Still, there was something oily and despicable about Daryl she would have been more than happy to insult by tossing his ass in jail.
