The Court Case

1

Sam McCoy came out of his office like a charging bull, slamming his door against the wall as he did so. “Angie! What the hell is this?”

Wearing a lopsided grin, Angie pushed herself away from her desk and stood. “What I had to do to get the information.”

“This is a sweetheart of a deal! Transactional immunity? Those two zombies won’t get any time at all.”

“I know, Sam. But they’re giving us something major in return.”

“Well, don’t keep me in suspense. What did they promise?”

Angie pursed her lips and glanced to either side. “It’s not so much what as who, but we shouldn’t speak of it out here.”

“Enough with the cloak and dagger, Angie,” Sam said, his craggy brows slamming together.

“In your office?”

Sam shook his head and sucked his teeth, then whirled without another word and returned to his office. Angie followed him inside and closed the door behind her.

“What’s all this about, Angie?” he asked as he walked toward his desk.

“It’s about Rose Marie Van Dee. It’s about Shuten-doji. It’s about the Unseelie Court.”

Sam stopped for a moment, then continued to his chair and sank into it. “Credible?”

“I think so.”

“Spill it, then.”

“Oriscoe and Nogan—”

“Nogan,” Sam scoffed.

“Oriscoe and Nogan caught a case where two mundanes were murdered. It led them to a zombie chop shop, and we caught two zombies, a bugge, and…Shuten-doji.”

Sam raised his eyebrows.

“There’s at least one more who’s still in the wind—a Norwegian Wood Troll—but Leery says they’re closing in on him.”

“And Van Dee is tied directly to this chop shop?”

“No, but we turned the two zombies.” She dimpled. “They’re in love.”

Sam raised his eyebrows again and shook his head.

“They can give us Van Dee on several counts of murder-for-hire, not to mention commissioning the murders of mundanes for their body parts.”

Sam looked down at the agreement in his hands, set it on the desk in front of him, and signed his name on it. “All I can say is, these zombie lovers had better come through.”

“Trust me, Sam. We’ve already explained how I will bury her in the darkest pit I can find while you fight to bring back stake burnings.” Angie hit him with her most stunning smile.

“Make sure her information is good,” said Sam without smiling. “I want you to prep her until she can give her testimony in her sleep.”

“You got it, boss.”

“And invite Rose Marie Van Dee to spend some time at the resort on Rikers Island.”
