�Jeez, Diane. This is really something. We need to get Fancy in on this. He�s been taking a beating from Martens all morning about the screw-up at the bank yesterday.�

John, Greg and Baldwin watched Diane, Andy and Danny cross the squad room and enter Fancy�s office.

�Okay, well maybe I�m glad I�m not in the loop on this one,� Greg said, watching Fancy�s face with trepidation. From the cheap seats, Greg watched as Diane paced in the office, recounting her story. She handed Fancy a note which he read quickly, then handed back to Diane. Fancy picked up the phone and made a call. Diane stood in the corner with her arms crossed as she listened to Fancy�s half of the conversation. Danny and Andy looked at each other with concern on their faces. Diane melted into a chair with a numb look on her face. Danny walked over and rubbed her shoulders reassuringly. Greg was very glad to be in the dark.

�No one in NYC Law has ever heard of Bob, Robert or Roberto Martinez,� Fancy said as he hung up the phone. �They�re checking the Bar to see if he�s there.�

�I doubt it,� said Danny.

�Duh,� said Andy.

Diane looked miserable.

A few minutes later, the phone rang, and Fancy answered it. He listened silently to the news. �Thank you,� he said, hanging up the phone again. �No Bar record, either. And his phone is disconnected.�

�Oh, big surprise,� Andy said.

�The big question,� Danny said, ignoring Andy�s sarcastic remark, �is this: did Bob know about the warehouse meeting that we did with Don to set up the bank job?�

�I never discussed it with him,� Diane said. �I don�t think Denby did, either, at least not when I was around. That�s our best hope for finding them.�

�And if he�s still alive, it�s because there was enough money in the bag to whet their appetites, and they believe there�s more where that came from,� Danny said.

�Let�s check it out,� Fancy said, decisive as ever.
