Alex Cross's Trial Part 5, Chapter 89

The Trial at Eudora

• Back in Washington, D.C., Hensen enters the oval office to find the President dancing.
• Um…okay.
• Roosevelt assures him that everything is fine; he's just glad to have gotten the latest from Ben and Abraham.
• Some people have been arrested for shooting a Black man. Yippee.
• Hensen doesn't see the immediate joy in that news, but Roosevelt assures him it's good news: Finally white men are being held accountable for what they do to Black men.
• Roosevelt knew he was right to sit back and wait for Ben to do something about the problem, noting that it's always best not to interfere. Phew.
