CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Detective Casey O’Brian leaned against the sleek black bar, attempting to keep his features impassive as the large Samoan man, probably six-five and close to three hundred pounds, nodded at the image of Rick Williams he’d flashed him.

The man was even larger than the security guard he’d met on his first visit. If they ever needed a stand-in for The Rock, this man could get the job. After shedding about thirty pounds, that is. At six-one, Casey didn’t have to look up at many people, but this guy was massive — and tall. No wonder the club had hired him. He probably frightened most patrons just by looking at them. Casey wasn’t intimidated, though, he was ecstatic, but even that reaction needed to be kept in check when questioning a witness. “You recognize him?” he clarified the man’s head nod.

“Yeah … I seen ’da guy. Comes here a lot, even though it don’t look like ’is kinda place. I heard from one’a my girls dat he likes to get rough, too.”

“Girls?”

“Naht like dat. Da cocktail waitresses. We — me and ’d other doormen — we keep ’em safe, so we think of ’em as our girls.”

Casey nodded. “Makes sense. So, one of your girls dated Rick Williams?”

“No, sir. Not allowed. But a couple of ’em know some of the regulars, and evidently ’e’s taken a few of ’em home, expecting a lot more than they were willing to give. Never does enough to get arrested, I guess. But from what I understand, he pushes the girls as far as they let him. Guess he’s into all that BDSM stuff.”

The doorman smiled, and Casey couldn’t help but grimace, wondering if the big man liked that stuff too. He could only imagine what dominatrix would be powerful enough to bring the giant to his knees. A shiver went through him at the visual.

Thankfully, he didn’t have time to experiment with domineering sexual games that had gotten so popular since that erotic book hit the bestseller lists. He’d lost count of how many calls he’d been on where acts involving handcuffs and whips and chains had gotten out of hand.

“You see him with anyone Friday night?” Casey continued his questioning, hoping that the guy’s manager didn’t show up any minute and shut him down. From his experience, he’d always found that most managers of restaurants and clubs were nowhere to be found between the lunch and dinner rush. If he showed up at a business between two and four, he almost always heard, “He’ll be back at five.” And then if he went about it correctly, he’d usually get an employee who was more than willing to talk, and employees usually knew what was going on more than managers anyway. Strange that almost all of his investigations started with a visit to a restaurant, bar, or hotel. It seemed even bad guys went out before they committed a crime. Or, a more likely scenario, the alcohol they consumed while they were out fueled them to do something they might not have done in the first place.
