Later that afternoon—or maybe it was evening?—Enzo looked out the blinds in his room. Evening it was. He’d spent the whole afternoon with Jessi. In the bed. In the shower. Against the wall. They’d napped. They’d nibbled on each other and Doritos—not at the same time. It was officially the best Saturday he’d ever had.

Jessi was in the bathroom, “putting herself together” before dinner. He’d dressed and was just waiting. Waiting was code for wondering what was she currently doing to that body. He could picture her rubbing lotion along her skin—up and down those thighs. They were some gorgeous thighs. And just the thought made him want to bang on the door and offer to help.

Of course, that wouldn’t get them to their dinner reservations any faster. And she’d told him she was hungry. He wasn’t going to let her starve. Not on his watch.

He went into the living room and turned on the light. He had the perfect thing to keep his mind out of that bathroom.

The pages from the mayor’s desk were exactly what he needed. The writing was small, so there were at least forty names per side. His eyes slid along the names. The opposition’s witness was on the first page four times. And the dollar amounts totaled over a half a million.

Why on earth did their witness give the mayor more than a half million dollars from August to October of last year? Seemed to be a lot of money. And the fact that the witness just beat out Enzo’s client for a large city contract couldn’t have anything to do with this substantial donation—who was he trying to kid? It had everything to do with the donation. Chicago wasn’t known as a pay-to-play city for nothing.

If a company didn’t pay, then their company wouldn’t play the contract game. And this witness had played. Now all Enzo had to do was get this to his boss. They couldn’t use it at trial, but they could use it convince the witness to tell the truth.

Too bad this was all just speculation at this point, or he’d skip quietly discrediting this witness and he’d take his ass down. Maybe that was still an option. This had to be the tip of the bribe-heap. He’d have to ask his boss. He could use this information to take down the corrupt system—with his boss’s approval.

Enzo gathered the pages and went down the hall to his home office. After waking the printer, he made copies of all the pages. Then he grabbed a highlighter from his briefcase and sat at his desk. He ran the yellow along the first mention of the witness. He continued down the page, reading and highlighting.

Next page. Reading and highlighting. Another three payments.

Next page. Reading and… He stared at the name, highlighter in hand.

Not just any name.

His boss.

Stanley Welford, one of the partners at the firm where he worked. It couldn’t be. But it was. His name was on the list. His boss wasn’t like that.
