A Mixture of Genius

The senator took an elevator directly to the helicopter landing on the roof of the building. It was several minutes before he had located the little runabout he had bought for his wife the previous Christmas. Jack Woodvale, their caretaker, gardener, and chauffeur, was just retrieving his suitcase from the baggage lift as the senator arrived. Waiting until Woodvale had secured the suitcase in the luggage compartment and climbed into the pilot\'s seat, Duran squeezed himself into the cabin. A minute or two later the little craft was rising from the port, directed automatically into the appropriate channel and guided off toward the city. "How\'ve things been going, Jack?" the senator asked. He felt good. Wayne\'s friendship and assurances had provided a needed boost. "Everything okay?" "I\'d say so, sir," Woodvale told him. "Had a little trouble with the solar screen. The store sent a man out to fix it. It\'s all right now." The new power unit had been another of Molly\'s ideas, Duran recalled. The old crystal sulfide screen had been perfectly reliable. But Molly had thought it looked ugly up there on the roof. Molly\'s main faults, he decided, derived from her concern with the neighbors\' opinions. "Oh, there was something else came up while I was on my way out to get you," Woodvale continued abruptly. "The state\'s Attorney General called—said it was important you contact him immediately." Duran sensed anger surging up as he remembered the times when, as District Attorney, Sig Loeffler had openly snubbed him. That, of course, had been back in the days when Duran had been a junior partner in one of the city\'s smaller law firms. He had not forgiven Loeffler, nor had Loeffler given him any reason to do so. Only the Governor\'s back-slapping mediation had allowed them to reach a politically stable relationship. The relationship did not involve Duran\'s compliance with the man\'s whims, however. "Get him on the phone, Jack," Duran said at last. "But just make one call. If he\'s not at his office, forget it."
