LEVY LIVED ON a semiprivate street four blocks from the Black Lantern, a huge black-brick pile with a marble entrance and a carriage house visible in the back. One end of the street was open, but with warning signs against nonresident parking; the other end was closed with a wrought-iron fence.

They’d decided to go in cold. The supervisor in the group covering Levy called Mallard toward the end of the meal to say that Levy had arrived home. “He’s scared. He’s got a guy traveling with him, apparently a bodyguard. He took his car straight into the carriage house, and the bodyguard ran between the carriage house and the main house. Somebody met him, and then Levy ran up to the house while the bodyguard waited at the door.”

“Must be pretty sure that nobody’s in the carriage house, then,” Lucas said.

“Our guys said both the house and the carriage house are wired up tight.”

“Well, at least we know he’ll be there. Doesn’t sound like he expects to go barhopping,” Andreno said.

They took their time walking over, looking at the houses along the side streets. There were lights everywhere, people moving around. If Rinker was in one of the houses on Levy’s street, or behind Levy’s street, she’d have a tough time getting out, Lucas thought. “As soon as we talk to him, you oughta have the net guys start going door to door, making sure that Rinker’s not holding somebody in one of these places,” Lucas said.

“We’ll do that,” Mallard said. At the entrance to Levy’s street, they passed though a wrought-iron gate, closed it behind themselves. A man in a suit climbed out of a car and walked toward them. He was carrying a pale straw hat, and said, “Louis.”

“David. Everybody, this is David Homburg,” Mallard said to Lucas and Andreno. To Homburg: “We’re going in—you and me and Malone, and Lucas. And, uh, Mr. Andreno, I guess.”

“Hate to miss it,” Andreno said.

Mallard told Homburg to leave two watchers on the front and back of Levy’s, and to have the rest of the net begin knocking on doors, two men at a time. Homburg stepped back to his car and spoke on a radio for a few moments, then rejoined them. “Done.”

“So let’s go,” Mallard said.
