“Yes, meth cartels, and in particular, a new and violent one.

“Kal-leed lived a pretty good lifestyle in Portland,” Oakley continued, “and his lifestyle was part of his cover. He had many sides . . . a terrorist, a druggie, and . . .” Oakley paused and looked at Martin, then Smokey.

“And he was one of ours.”

Smokey opened his eyes. “He was talking to the feds?”

“That’s right,” Oakley said. “He was talking to us, and we were paying him. Giving us information on the druggies, and we were working on getting information about the terrorist’s plans.”

“And he was killed,” Smokey said. “But you don’t know who did it, the druggies or the terrorists, right?”

“Pretty much right,” Oakley said, “but it was probably the druggies. He was living a fast lifestyle in Portland, starting to come to the attention of his fellow terrorists who were cramped up in an apartment. Kal-leed had a Mercedes, and a lot of women. He wasn’t so sure that he was going to meet the seventy-two virgins when he died, so he was doing his best to find them in Portland in this life.”

Smokey snorted. “Seventy-two virgins? In Portland? So you’re saying he was a pedophile?”

Oakley laughed.

“We just hadn’t maneuvered him into the situation where he was comfortable telling us about the terrorist activity, but we were getting close. He wanted out. Someone got to him first.”

“What about the girl’s hand?” Martin asked.

“We think his latest ‘virgin,’” Oakley said, “was Sherell, a hooker. We don’t know why she was killed, or where the body is, but we do think she was murdered.”

“They want Jennifer because of the hand,” Smokey said. “Somehow the woman, the ex-girlfriend of Kal-leed, had something they want. There is something on the body, something they have to retrieve. The hand is the key.”

Oakley made arrangements to meet Jennifer at Smokey’s house in the morning and left to join the rest of his group.

Smokey opened his eyes and looked at Chief Martin Andrews. “So, Chief, what do you think he left out?”

Chief Martin Andrews laughed. “Almost everything, Lieutenant. We know we can count on the Feebs to leave out just about everything, and pretend that we think they are keeping us in the loop. Things just don’t change.”

If I weren’t so tired, Smokey thought, I would laugh.

By the time he saw Oakley in the morning, a lot more people were dead.
