Eyebrows raised, he watches Rankin for a moment. "Last I heard, strange was your territory." He treats Warden like most any other business partner; that means a little surliness isn't out of place.
It might be easier to mention the broad straight off. But Waxey's still not certain she's the object of discussion here (hey, mostly certain ain't a hundred percent), and he's not in the mood to cough up information like some overeager stoolie. This is his city; if Warden wants something, he can ask directly, never mind the bullshit guessing games. And if Warden's got reason to believe his quarry was in Philly (if he already knows), he can come out and say so.
As soon as Rankin gives him something specific to work with, Waxey'll probably be more forthcoming. It's not as if he's got anything to hide. And much as he'd like to stay away from Albany's bullshit drama, he isn't keen on jeopardizing the relationship with Warden. At this point, he needs to keep all remaining alliances intact.
"I hope you ain't telling me I need to be on the watch for men disappearing under mysterious circumstances."
