Well, the man was certainly calm and calculating, and, like anyone who spent time in government these days, inordinately concerned with ensuring Katchina's sex or ethnicity were ruled out as reasons to claim unfair treatment at the hands of law enforcement. It hadn't even occurred to Jon that it would be relevant. But clearly the man had considered Katchina's ability to use the power of the Great Spirit in the matter and dismissed it as irrelevant. As well it should be, under the eyes of the law. Jon could work with him.
However, the man seemed to be digging for a video to turn up, as if Jon would somehow be able to magically produce one. That, of course, wasn't going to happen. Jon wasn't about to blow his reputation with the Council of Native Americans for the sake of satisfying Mr. Trujillo's curiosity. He had other ways of getting to the bottom of things.
Besides, it wasn't necessary. He'd had gotten what he had asked for. Jon smiled politely at Mr. Trujillo's agreement to not prosecute Katchina, a smile that did not quite touch his bespectacled eyes. "That is quite acceptable,"
Jon replied. "With prejudice, of course. I will have the draft sent over to your office immediately."
A touch to his Wallet and it was done.
As for the other..."I think for the time being my client and I would be happy to talk with you. Your agent Sheridan...I am unsure he has the appropriate mindset to comprehend such unconventional matters."
He glanced around. "Perhaps over a cup of coffee. Somewhere other than here. I think Miss Makawee has spent enough time in a cell."
