I returned to the lobby to see what I could find out. No signs of the police. Stewart, once again, was my only hope.

“What’s going on up there?” I asked.

“No idea. Don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“I know Mr. Alexi received a formal visitor.”

“Let me guess: you’re behind this.”

“Negative. I’m just interested in seeing who they are.” And what they might leave with. I stood aside.

“You can’t loiter here,” Stewart protested.

“You saw who I left with.”

“And I didn’t see him return. You’re loitering.”

“What do you mean? He just came back.”

“No, he didn’t.”

Leave it to Don Alexi to run. Right on cue, a group of police officers got off the elevator. Some wore uniforms. C-Rod and Shields were in the rear, each carrying a large box tagged with evidence labels.

“Doing a little shopping?” I asked as they passed.

C-Rod turned first. “Where is he?”

“I don’t know.”

Shields saw me now, and stepped in my direction. “You sure about that?”

I didn’t say anything. I just crossed my arms and called his bluff.

That didn’t take long. C-Rod nodded for Shields to get going, and they left to catch up with their crew.

Stewart stared me down, as if to ask my next move.

Just then, my phone rang, and I gestured for Stewart to wait while I checked the call. I didn’t recognize the number, but answered anyway.

It was the judge. “Porter, we struck gold.” He gave me an address and told me to meet him right away.

I waved bye to Stewart and blew him a kiss.
