8. Eighth Instalment
Lightman sat watching the video clip for the second time. The first time he had just skimmed through, just to see how long it was and who was in it. He didn't recognise anyone on the tape, but one of them featured in every single tape that Reynolds had sent. The other man was also in several of the tapes, but it was the first tape that was of the most interest to him. There was no sound, and he couldn't clearly see the second mans face, but it was clearly footage from the FBI building, the FBI insignia was clearly visible on the door on the edge of screen.
The first man was sitting facing the second who was behind a desk in some kind of office. From the outset of the tape both men seemed relaxed, but their body language became increasingly tense. The first man appeared to be smiling smugly the whole time, but Lightman could see exactly when the other man said something that made him furious. Studying the set of the other man's shoulders and his aggressive stance, it was obvious they were having some sort of disagreement.
However, the tape finished with the first man looking smug and grinning as he left the office, while the second man was trying to shrug off the encounter, a tell tale sign of being nervous. It was only then, once the first man had left the room, that the second relaxed completely, turning in his chair so that the camera could make out his face clearly.
Pondering the scene, Lightman tried to piece together the significance of it. He wiped his brow in frustration, worried by the fact that the more he dug into Reynolds investigation the more questions he had, rather than answers.
It was obvious from the number of tapes and their content that the first man was the target of some sort of FBI investigation, but what role did the second man -who was obviously FBI- play? Was he also under investigation?
With nothing more to go on, he re-winded the tape and began to watch it again.
