Read Under Suspicion - The Legend of D.B. Cooper Page 61

Jim looked slowly around the room as the report continued. His eyes stopped when he saw Nikki at the back of the room staring at the screen and biting her thumb. She was standing with a group of older nurses who appeared to be watching the screen and whispering to each other.

  Nikki occasionally looked at the women and appeared to be listening to their every word. Then Jim and Nikki’s eyes met. Nikki stared at him with a strangely sad and questioning look, then turned and walked hurriedly down the hall.

  Jim wanted to run after her and reassure her, but he knew there was no time for that now. He noticed other people glancing at him with similar questioning looks, but he tried to ignore them as he turned his attention back to the screen. The report was just concluding. He listened as Chet finished.

  “D.B. Cooper—the man hunt continues. Back to you, Dan.”

  Jim turned and walked hurriedly out the front door, disappearing into the parking lot.
