Showalter must have put him on me after I left the station today. I thought Id lost him about half an hour ago. I ran him around in circles but somehow he found me again. Thats why Im late — I was trying to lose him.’ Hey, Freddie, another one of them called out, is it it true you and the mayor are still sleeping together? Thats right, Gallops said. Hes new. His two minions were occupying the guest room, each in his bed, each with two bullets to the back of each head. They could have been staying there all along. My other theory is that Larkin had left something there that was incriminating, or just something he needed, like money. If thats so, he took it with him. I expect he had a car parked on Sixty-fifth Street, so hes in the wind. And that meter is coupled with the speedometer and a clockwork mechanism so the amount of the fare is registered? We grew up together. And I thought it would be good for Michelle. Then the defendant got out and went up to where her car was parked— Now do I get to know about Grimes? Mason smiled at the discomforted man on the stand, and said,Oh, I guess as far as Tm concerned I have no further cross-examination. I think the jury understands the situation. Because it had been recently discharged, because there was no other place where the bullet could have gone, and because the gun was a .38 caliber. No. Thats way above my pay grade, Sam. Any idea where Jerry Myers is? You got any ideas? Murfin said. Any metal. Well do something about that when I get home. Hows Audrey? Ekman interjected,No, but your refusal comes with consequences. And shedid name you as the father, just so you know. Yes. It was phony, wasnt it? Ive figured that out, Murfin said. The whole fuckin thing was phony, right from the start. .
