"We are going to need your full cooperation on this Carmichael. You're in a hell of a lot of trouble. A cop was shot and it's all on you if you don't tell us exactly what was going on at the Shady Palms. We have an eyewitness who identified known mobster Joe Fontinella as leaving the area in a black 2015 Lexus two-door convertible with plates that are registered under the name Sasha DiFazio. That's Vinny DiFazio's daughter. And in case this piece of information has slipped past your radar, Vinny DiFazio is not only the owner of that resort hotel, but he's also the head of the DiFazio family. You do know who the DiFazio family is, don't you?"

"You're gonna have to enlighten me, detective," I said to the stalky schmuck that looked like he was taking a bath in his own sweat. "I don't know any DiFazio's. I'm kinda new to the area."

"You're gonna have to do better than that. You were found at the scene of a crime that involved a high-stakes poker game at a mob-owned resort. You didn't just wake up one day and decide to take a stroll into the office where the safe was. Look, DiFazio is claiming his daughter was kidnapped and neither Fontinella nor the daughter have been seen or heard from since the robbery. If you can tell us where they are your charge will be reduced from first-degree murder to second-degree or maybe even manslaughter. We want to work with you, Carmichael, are you willing to cooperate?"

I was still groggy from the painkillers and a bullet ripping through my gut, but there was no way I was going to play that game with these assholes. I knew they weren't going to let me off that easy, and there was no way in hell I was going to spend even one night in prison.

"I'm telling you. I didn't even know the guy's name."

The two cops looked at each other like they had thought their strategy was working for them but just realized that they were going to have to up their game.

"We find that really hard to believe, Carmichael," the other cop said. I wondered if he was going to play the good cop or the bad cop, but it didn't really matter, all cops were bad as far as I was concerned. "We're not buying any of this bullshit, Carmichael. You're telling us that you traveled to a resort on a private island in The Keys with this man, Joe Fontinella, went directly to the office where the safe was kept on a night with a fifty-million-dollar poker game in progress, and you didn't even know the guy's name."

"I'm telling you, I met the guy in a bar in Key West. We were talking about being down on our luck and he told me that he had this big idea. He said he knew how to make a whole lot of money in one night and that he just needed a hand for a couple hours.
