Kapitel 202: The Other Side of the Coin

Lila

"Okay, John…" Lila said faintly. "I'll need you to go slow here. Tell me about the other files? Did they work?"

John smiled. "It was perfect!"

Lila slumped. "You got recordings?"

"We got perfect recordings. There are places where his hair rubs and we get a little friction, but it all decrypted beautifully and… we have Dane's father on tape, Lila. Illegally, to be sure. But we have it."

"And he admitted it?"

"Yes. Dane asked him why he executed Talia and he explains himself. It's… a thing of beauty."

Lila stared, waiting. But John didn't go on. "So…? Can we go to the Police? Can they use it?"

"Maybe."

"Maybe? Why maybe?"

"Well, as I said, technically the recording was taken illegally, on private property and without the man's consent. But, since it discusses illegal activity, and is provided to the Police, there are some legal loopholes your sergeant might be able to jump through."
