Alex Cross's Trial Chapter 12

By James Patterson and Richard DiLallo

Chapter 12

Meg is livid at Ben. How could he just ignore her feelings like this and let some guy named Nate in? Doesn't he hear what she's saying?
Ben explains that Nate is a friend from his army days, and he knows it must be important if he shows up unannounced like this.
Nate strolls in as Meg leaves, her feelings hurt.
And then Nate announces he's here on a mission from the White House.
Ben is intrigued. (Gee, ya think?) He was feeling a little overwhelmed with the news his wife just dropped, but he's interested in what Nate has to say now.
