IT WAS SET for Wednesday evening.

Chili said to Sin Russell, "I'll be at the shopping center no later than five-thirty. You and your guys'll be down the street from the social club, on Crescent Heights. As soon as I see 'em coming out of the photo shop I call and give you the signal. I say, The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming."

This was earlier Wednesday, on the phone.

If it sounded like Sin got it, Chili was going to say, And I don't mean Alan Arkin in a fuckin submarine.

But all the man said was, "That's the signal, huh?"

So Chili went on with the plan. "I follow the last one out of the photo shop over to the club. So when you see me drive past you know all the Russians are in there and you can hit the place."

Sin asked him, "Where you gonna be?"

"If I drive past I must be in my car."

"Where you going?"

"I don't know. Home."

"I thought you was the Notorious K.M.A. You don't care you miss the action?"

"It's your gig, man, not mine. What do I get out of it?"

"What we gonna do," Sin said, "we all meet at the shopping center. They come out, we follow them to the club. I'm in your car with you, we lead the parade."

Chili said, "How many cars?"

"Be yours and two three more."

Chili said, "That shopping center's always busy, it's hard to find a place to park. That many cars, we'd have a problem working it so we all leave there together."

"I park where I want," Sin said, "use the ones for the handicapped. They always some of those places."

"Yeah, but they're too close to the photo shop. They'd spot us; they know who I am."

"Man, you sound like you don't want my company. See, I need you, Notorious. You the complaining witness, gonna point to the one stole all that money from your company. And we the police, gonna pick up the evidence."

"They won't sit still for it," Chili said. "They have no respect for cops."

Sin said, "Who does?"

"I mean they hate 'em. These guys pack, Sin. You tell 'em you're a cop they'll go berserk."

Sin said, "I've told you how we gonna do it."
