CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN

Dax

Around noon, I came up from the apartment and stood at the bar discussing our next move with Kesha, when all of a sudden, there was a loud bang on the door and a wave of police officers dressed in combat gear with guns drawn, flooded through the door yelling, "LAPD SWAT TEAM! HANDS IN THE AIR! PUT YOUR FUCKING HANDS IN THE AIR! DO NOT FUCKING MOVE!"

Kesha's eyes were wide with terror as she quickly raised her hands above her head and stood stock-still. I turned and raised my hands a little more slowly; I wasn't intimidated by this show of force. After surviving Papi's warrior raids, nothing this small could ruffle my feathers.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen," I said smiling.

"Shut the fuck up, Malone," the commander said as she pulled out her cuffs, yanked my hands out of the air, and cuffed them behind my back.

"And lady," I added as an afterthought.

"Kesha, call Riza and have her get in touch with my lawyer," I said calmly.

"I heard you don't have a lawyer anymore, Malone," the commander said with a sarcastic smile. "Heard you had her executed and dumped in the drink. Kind of screwed yourself, now didn't you?"

"No, I have a lawyer," I said. "Kesha, call Riza and tell her to contact Brooke Raines. She'll know what to do."

"If I were a lawyer, I'd be hesitant to take on your case," the commander said as she yanked me by the cuffs and shoved me toward the front door. "Price of doing business with you seems kind of high."

She shoved me in the back of the arrest wagon and then told the driver and his partner to take me down to Central Booking where I'd be booked and scheduled for an arraignment hearing. The officer rolled his eyes and barked, "Yes, sir! I mean, ma'am!" before driving off toward the station.

I sat in back and thought about all the holes I might have left. I would probably have to plead to a drug charge, but that would be a pretty minor offense, since we'd moved most of the product off site as soon as the storage facility had been broken into. I might be charged as an accessory to murder, depending on who had actually killed Lydia, but there was no evidence that I'd had anything to do with her murder because as far as I knew, I really hadn't.

Unless someone was trying to frame me. That possibility crept into my brain and as I turned it over, I wondered if all of this wasn't an attempt to frame me for Lydia's murder. It was all too convenient. The break in, the theft, and the police raid all pointed to an inside informant, but who would have a grudge that they'd work out this way? I quickly scrolled down the list of people I employed, but I couldn't think of one who'd be harboring a grudge big enough to want to frame me for murder.

Except maybe Beck. But that made
