The Mike Black Saga; Payback (34 page)

"Sounds like somebody’s on the take."

"You think?"

Mike and Shy laughed. "We took what we found to the DEA and they found that the intelligence DeFrancisco used to get authorization for the operation was
fake
. Now were trying to find out what’s Martin Marshall’s got to do with any of this."

"Marshall? What does he have to do with this?" Mike asked.

"When DeFrancisco came to us for help, Marshall came with him."

"It’s funny that you should mention Senator Marshall," Mike said.

"Why’s that, Black?"

"How would you like to not only link Marshall to DeFrancisco, but tag him for murder?"

"I’m listening."

Shy reached in her purse and put a cd on the table in front of Kirk.

"What’s that?"

"It’s a recording of the Senator discussing his involvement in a murder of a woman with the killer." Shy told him.

"Where did you get that," Kirk asked.

"Does it matter?"

"No it doesn’t cause nothing on that disk would be admissible in court."

"But you would know all the right questions to ask cause you already know the answers,"
Shy
said. "You interested?"

"I’m interested." Kirk reached for the disk.

Shy
put her hand on it. "In exchange for," she paused. "In exchange for your assistance in getting those false charge against me dropped."

Kirk took his hand off the disk, and ate another piece of his steak. The detective sat back in the booth and put down his knife and fork. He looked at Shy and thought about her offer and then to Black who had remained silent. Kirk reached in his pocket and took out his cell phone. He dialed a number. "Detective Sanchez."

"Gene, this is Kirk. Listen, you speak to the ADA about dropping the charges against Cassandra Sims yet?"

"Not yet, Kirk, why?"

"Go ahead and call her. We got bigger fish fry."

"Done," Sanchez said. "Who’s the fish?"

"I’ll tell you when I see you," Kirk promised and hung up his phone.

"Just like that?" Shy asked, letting go of the disk. "One word from you and the charges are dropped?"

"Did I mention what a good job your lawyer, Wanda Moore was doing?" Kirk got up and threw a couple of dollars on the table for a tip. "Yeah, just the other day detective Sanchez said that he was going to have to drop the charges against you. He was gettin’ a lot of pressure from the ADA, who was gettin’ pressure from your lawyer. He was gonna drop the charges against you anyway." Kirk held up the disk. "But thanks for this, I never liked Marshall anyway."

Mike and Shy watched Kirk walk out. "I’m free, baby," she said and kissed him. "Now I can stay in New York."

"We can go anywhere you want," Mike said and got up from the table. "Just one more thing left to do," he said and paid the check.
　

Epilogue

One year later on an island off the west coast of Mexico

Diego
Estabon
sat alone in his bungalow waiting for his new partners to arrive with his share of their last job, and they were late, very late.

It had been a good year for Diego and he planned for next year to be even better. The phone rang. "It’s about time you called. Where are you?"

"I’m right outside Diego," Mike said into the phone.

Diego rushed to the window and could see Mike standing off in the distance.

"What do you want Black?" Diego said and quickly armed himself.

"As soon as Sal told you that he had kidnapped my wife, you should have told Sal to let her out the car and have him apologize for taking her," Mike said and hung up the phone.

Diego watched as Mike turned to walk away and wondered what that was all about. Then he thought it would probably be a good idea if he got outta there. But before Diego could make it to the door, the bungalow blew up.

As he walked away, Mike felt the heat of the explosion on the back of his neck.
Now it’s over.
