Wolf was kind of disappointed to leave Ms. Dolly, as he’d found out she liked to be called, and her two gorgeous partners in bounty hunting, but Mac had told him that it involved a possibly lucrative new job offer. Business always overrode pleasure, Mac told him, unless the two intertwined.

“He say what it was about?” Wolf asked.

Mac shook his head. “Just that it involved a big money return.”

They met Manny and his three associates in a restaurant called The Lucky Charm just off the main floor of the casino. After Manny made the introductions, Theodore Graham, a bail bondsman from the Big Apple, and Mr. Reynolds, from some law firm, they were all seated in a secluded booth off in one corner. The lighting was low and Wolf felt like a spy in one of those old espionage movies: five men meeting in semi-lit location to discuss a mission. The two bail bondsmen looked like polar opposites of each other. Manny was huge and morbidly obese, while this new guy, Teddy, looked like a set of bones in a skin suit. The third guy, Reynolds, had a real firm handshake and a rugged look to him that didn’t quite fit with a law firm tag. Apparently, Mac didn’t think so either.

“You don’t look much like a lawyer,” he said.

“Actually, I’m not.” Reynolds flashed a quick smile. “I’m a paralegal and work for the law firm’s special investigations team.”

Wolf noticed the guy had several bandages covering the top of his right hand.

An injury? He wondered what might have caused it if the guy worked in an office.

“So what’s this all-important job you wanted to see us about?” McNamara asked.

Manny and Teddy exchanged looks. The skeleton spoke first. “We need a couple of good and dependable bounty hunters to do a job.”

“That so?” McNamara said. “Where? New York?”

“No. Mexico.”

“Mexico?” Mac squinted. “That’s like dancing with the devil down there.”

The two bail bondsmen exchanged another set of glances.

“I heard you were the men for the job,” Teddy said.

“Who’d you hear that from?” Mac asked.

Wolf was content to let him do the talking, but the more he heard about this deal, the less he liked it.

“From Manny here,” Teddy said. “He speaks very highly of you.”

McNamara glanced over at the heavyset bail bondsman and frowned.

“I’ll bet he does.”

Manny shrugged and flashed a shifty looking half-grin.

“They play by a whole different set of rules down south of the border,” McNamara said.

“Look, I know it’s dangerous,” Teddy said. “But Manny says you guys are the ones for the job.”

McNamara smirked and looked at Manny. “That so? What about Reno? We saw you talking to him.”

Manny’s mouth gaped in what might have passed for a self-deprecating smile.

“Well, yeah. I did talk to him and Herc, but it got back to me that he wasn’t too crazy about going down there.”

“And my associates at the law firm expressed some reservations about those two as well,” Reynolds added.

“Who are these associates?” Mac asked. It was evident that he was a bit leery of this new guy, and Teddy as well.
