CHAPTER 3

“So these two and these three?” Sophia tapped her fingers to the two-by-three-inch black-and-white mug shots that coincided with her questions.

“Yeah. Those are all I remember from the bunch.” Viva leaned back from the small round conference table in her sister’s office.

Sophia nodded firmly, looking pleased. Viva had just positively identified the sons of Sylvester Greenway. The construction entrepreneur, and one of their father’s oldest friends, had recently come forward with suspicions of his sons’ involvement in the money-laundering scheme that had already deposited so many of Philadelphia’s finest in holding cells.

Viva’s identification of the Greenways was another direct link. Viva had recalled seeing the men at a Malibu party with Murray Dean. The identification added another layer to the case being built around the security-agent-turned-Hollywood-agent-turned-suspected-money-launderer.

Viva watched Sophia remove the book of mug shots. “Is Murray going to jail, Sophia?” she asked after watching her sister quietly for an extended moment.

“It’s not a done deal until there’s a verdict.” Sophia sat on the corner of her big desk. “But a verdict requires a trial first,” she said with an encouraging smile for good measure.

“Doesn’t seem like I had that much to offer after all.”

“Are you kidding? An eyewitness putting Murray with these guys in Cali with the ones here? It’s gonna help the DA build an even stronger case. Police work can be a lot of tedious piecing together, but it often results in one colossal wrecking ball at the end.”

Viva responded with an airy laugh. “Thanks, Soap, that helps.”

“It’s the truth.” Sophia vacated her spot on the desk and began to browse the files there.

Viva, meanwhile, walked the perimeter of her sister’s new and spacious office digs in the heart of downtown. The building, one of Philadelphia’s oldest and most stately, boasted offices befitting what the exterior conveyed.

A person with an eye for interior decorating and design, Viva appreciated the efforts taken to ensure Sophia’s office was both warm and functional. The formal blackwood paneling and tables of rich cherrywood were softened by suede furnishings of rich earth tones mingled with a few bolder splashes of color that lent the room an efficient yet appropriately chic appearance.

“I can hear your brain over there, but unfortunately I can’t translate,” Sophia called once silence filled the room for almost two minutes.

Viva turned from the breathtaking wall of windows that presented a glorious view of the city. She looked at her sister who held a handful of folders over a bottom drawer to one side of her desk.

“Is there anything more I could do here, Sophia? Anything more that you’d want me to do?” Viva asked.

Sophia frowned. “Anything more?”

“I called Murray,” Viva blurted, knowing that was the only way she could share what she was sure had been a boneheaded move.

Sophia pushed up slowly to stand. “What the hell, V?”

“I didn’t want to risk him running, after I talked to his assistant.”

“Viva—”

“The girl was at her wits’ end when she called, talking about how out of it Murray was acting.
