I'm going to ask you questions," he said. "Some will be difficult. Some will be painful. But I need you to be completely honest, even if the truth reflects badly on you. Can you do that?"
"Yes."
"Good." He pulled out a tablet, opening what looked like a notes application. "Let's start with Montgomery. Did Cole ever mention that name around you?"
"No. Not that I remember."
"What about Bushound pack? Any reference to northern territories?"
"He... he got a phone call once. A few months ago. He stepped outside to take it, but I heard part of the conversation through the window." I tried to remember. "He said something like 'the northern alliance agrees' and 'Bushound will provide logistics support.'"
Maddox made a note. "When was this?"
"February, maybe? Early March?"
"And he never explained who he was talking to?"
"He said it was pack business. Shadowfang negotiations." I laughed bitterly. "I believed him."
