Who: Rosa and Leo What: Phone call (transcript) When: July 2 just after this Where: The BPD parking lot Rating: Lowish Status: Complete
Rosa: (taps her fingers restlessly against the back of the phone as her call is transferred to Leo)
Leo: (picking up) Winters.
Rosa: (with a mixture of relief and anxiety in her voice) Hi SAC Winters. This is SA Keating calling you from the BPD in Boston. (pause) I... I think... (deep breath) There's a problem.
Leo: (evenly) What is the nature of this issue?
Rosa: I found a bug in my office. High-end. I wasn't able to identify the exact specs; I'd need a tech expert for that. But it was certainly difficult to spot. I found it essentially by accident.
Leo: (Silence)
Rosa: SAC Winters?
Leo: (carefully) Did you dispose of it?
Rosa: No. I put it back as carefully as I could. I figure that... (pause) should I dispose of it?
Leo: (brief pause) No. (thoughtful) No, you did the right thing. Do you suspect that someone from the police department is watching you?
Rosa: That's my suspicion, yes. There was... an incident... (trails off) The BEA isn't exactly well-liked around here. I'm not exactly--
Leo: I understand. (Pause) There are many why someone would want to bug your office in particular. A reporter in search of a story, perhaps.
Rosa: (softly) I guess this means I won't be coming home next week.
Leo: No. It won't. But given the recent developments in the apparent serial murdering case in Boston, it's better to have you there anyway. For now, stay where you are. Leave the bug in its place and pretend as if nothing has happened. Monitor it, but obviously don't talk about anything important while you're in your office. I will send a couple of agents in to back you up in the next few weeks. In the meantime, get me as many details as possible on that killer case. Stone, et al. We'll request them if we have to, but it would be better to get them voluntarily, and you're already there to act as a liaison.
Rosa: (quietly) Yes sir.
Leo: Good. Get a secure phone and soon as possible and make sure that your next contact with me is from it, just in case.
Rosa: Yes sir.
Leo: Keep your head up, agent. You'll have backup soon. (hangs up)
