on without interruption.
Then the guy, his name is Oscar Lanier it s right on his name tag the guy
comes back this Monday they with another delivery for me. This time it s some
pills, : on but over-the-counter stuff From ABC Vitamin Company. I m on a lot
of medication for my well, you know, my , as condition but I also sent away
for some vitamins. So Oscar says, I have to search you before I let you have
this the package. est I said, What? I never heard of this before. He said,
her New rules, I told you, new Post Office rules. I m sure you re okay, but
it s gotten very dangerous to go into people s homes these days. They re doing
this to protect us.

apartments in this city. People with pit bulls and drug dealers and who knows
what. So I stepped into the hallway, Oscar puts down his bag, and he starts to
frisk me, like in the movies. But I m telling you, Miss Cooper, he s running
his hands back and forth over my breasts. I say, That s enough, Oscar. And
he gives me the package and thanks me a lot.
I asked Angela how long the encounter took and exactly where and how the
mailman touched her. She explained it all.
Then he was back this morning. I m telling you I never got my mail so early
as this week. He s got a box for me, no return label. So he tells me it looks
suspicious. I see it s got a postmark from Philly, and I know it s my cousin
Muriel, sending me the sucking candies I like. She never puts a return address
in case there s not enough postage on it, she doesn t want it coming back to
her. Wants me to pay it. But no, Oscar says he has to search me and then see
the candy for himself. This time, he puts his hand inside my blouse and
actually touches my breast. Can you believe it? I smacked him across the face
and stepped inside and bolted the door. Never even got the candy.
I asked some more questions and told Miss Firkin that I would like her to wait
in our reception area while I called the Post Office.
I already did that, Miss Cooper. No new rules. Oscar was full of baloney
thought he had an easy mark, just cause I like my packages.
They don t have any new rules like that.
I hadn t thought they were actually new rules, but I did want to check to see
if Oscar was, in fact, an employee of the United States Government. Laura got
Angela a seat down the hall and a cold drink, and I made my calls.
Yes, there was an Oscar Lanier and indeed that was his postal route, although
he was only a probationary worker at the moment. Just to satisfy my curiosity,
I punched his name into the criminal justice computer network AJIS and within
seconds, got the response that Lanier had a misdemeanor conviction earlier
this year in Queens County. Not surprisingly, it was for sexual abuse.
My next call was to the head of the Special Victims Bureau in the Queens
District Attorney s Office. I explained the story and asked her to tell me
what the case was about.
Fifteen minutes later, she called back to let me know that Oscar s previous
job had been as an airport security guard ttorney pert on mestic ises as
Jogger her the jghest ith her at JFK. He was arrested after several women
passengers complained that he took them out of line, into his office, and
tried to do a body cavity search, looking for smuggled drugs. Fired,
convicted, and rehired by the United States Post Office, all within the last
six months. You couldn t make this stuff up if you tried.
I brought Angela back in, reassured her that this particular postman would not
ring a third time, and told her that I would assign a female detective to work
with her on the case. After she left, I made the necessary calls to arrange a
temporary suspension of Lanier while we investigated the matter. It was almost
five o clock by the time I finished those details and attended to the rest of
the paperwork on my desk.
Mark Acciano called to say that the judge would keep his jury only until ten
this evening, and if there was no verdict by that time, he d declare a
mistrial. I tried to shore up his spirits, and told him I d stick it out with
him as long as there were no developments on the Montvale case.
Laura asked if she could leave a bit early to go to the dentist, and I told
her I would get the phones myself. I sat at my desk, going through the pile of [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
