Danner nodded mutely.
Then Wainright smiled. 'And it looks like we've finally closed the Spaulding robbery case,' he said. Melinda scrambled off the platform and ran toward Danner. Holstering his Colts, Danner looked up at Wainright quizzically.
'I don't quite follow you.'
'Well,' Wainright said, shrugging. 'I guess Tuso has enough else to his credit to earn the blame for the Spaulding robbery. Certainly there's no reason to leave folks thinking you did it, nor is there any reason to blame it on the Colonel.'
Danner nodded, looked at Tuso, then back to Wainright. 'You and I should make a pretty good team, Tom.'
Wainright smiled broadly. 'We might, at that.'
Then Danner reached out his arm and encircled the shoulders of Melinda, pulling her close.
'And you and I ought to make a pretty good team, too.'
'We might, at that,' she smiled back.
