insinuation #2 [attn: jamie]

By the time he gets around to firing off two emails Nathan has had his first two cups of coffee and refilled his mug. It's a good thing he can wander into the office late in the morning and his editor is cutting him a considerable amount of slack for how much ball he was on during the downtown car bombing last month. It isn't as if that story was national news or anything but Nathan had information on the suspect-turned-defendant that no one else had and his articles were better written than one would expect from an individual who had been on blotter detail the past year and change.

Anyway. The first email he sends is to his father. He wants to know if the law professor has heard anything about the dog attacks. It's a quick email. Hey Dad how's it going listen I'm pursing a lead and. They're meeting up for dinner between now and Father's Day anyway. Isn't like he has to pad the email with sentimental bullshit.

The one he sends to Jay Rodriguez is different.

Ms. Rodriguez,

I'm familiar with the incident. My number at the Post is 303-954-9977. Call me or email me at nmarszalek@denverpost.com and we can arrange a meet up.

I don't think you're cagey or crazy. Even if you are, I want to speak to you. Please contact me. I'll be at the office from 9am until 7pm tonight.

Thanks,
Nathan
