Garvey passes the pen to J.R. and Otter. "Well, that's three of you. Your handler will be Gavin Marks. I've never met him, but his reputation is sterling."
Garvey focuses on Cyril, her main holdout. "We don't expect to ask you to commit a criminal offense during the next twelve months. Your papers already specify that you be granted limited immunity for actions you take that are . . . " Garvey checks the phrasing on the document nearest to her. " . . . 'substantially related' to the course of investigation, as defined by the Government. So it's not a case of us wanting to circumvent the Federal criminal code. We want this team for its flexibility and efficiency, and are prepared to offer an incentive to match...your greatly reduced sentences, plus home confinement at the government's expense for the duration of the term. The home confinement alone would normally cost an inmate $3650 in fees per year. I am told that Mr. Hogsett will write letters of recommendation on each of your behalf, pending successful completion of twelve months' home detention and service to the government." She looks up at Cyril, waiting.
