We had something together once. Carrie Milligan and I. But it was long gone. She came to me now, years later, looking older and used and very scared. She had a lot of money with her. Over a hundred thousand dollars. She wanted me to keep it safe. Until she returned. And no questions, please – for old times’ sake. So I kept the money, but Carrie never came back. And never would. She was suddenly very dead. The papers aid it was an accident. But I didn’t believe it for a moment. I did not know then that Carrie had been mixed up in a dangerous and dirty business. But I suspected it. And I was certain that someone had “arranged” that accident. Now I was damn well going to find out who.
