Adam went to the phone and pressed the numbers. He had a
message to ring Garner Goodman in Jackson. Urgently.
“Garner, it’s Adam. What’s happening?”
“Get yourself down here now,” Goodman said calmly. “Things
are moving.”
“Why? What is it?”
“Looks like one of your claims is being taken seriously.”
“Which one?”
“Mental incompetence. Slattery wants a hearing at five this
afternoon. I’ve already talked to Dr.Swinn, and he’s ready. He’ll
land in Jackson at three-thirty and be ready to give evidence.”
“I’m on my way,” Adam said.
“Meet me at the governor’s office.”
