As Boone pulled into the massive parking garage at the Lucky Day, he wondered if the concrete floors and walls would interfere with the bugging devices. Jack had given him a description of the van and the plate number and advised that he locate it, then park a couple of floors above.

While the garage was open-sided on all floors, drawing in a hot breeze, the near-triple-digit temperatures were somewhat mitigated by the shade. Still, the cops couldn’t sit there all day in a closed-up van with the air running without drawing suspicion.

Boone was impressed that someone had thought to park the van near one end of the fourth level where little foot traffic would intrude. The cops could peer out the tinted windows without being seen and know when they could steal into the building for bathroom breaks or food runs.

Boone parked on six, took the lift down, and left the elevator bank as if he were leaving the casino and heading to his car. He slowed when a group of young men piled out of a sedan and noisily made their way in. Then he slipped behind a wall and entered the van through the front passenger door.

Ingenious. Both front side windows were open, allowing air into the back. But a thin film between the front seat and the equipment in the back made it impossible to see the surveillance setup. Boone had to look twice to realize he could squeeze through a small opening in the film and disappear into the back. The film bore an image of an empty van, so anyone nosy enough to stick their head in would see what looked like open space.

Yet in the back, Boone was greeted by Jack and Lefty and introduced to the two techies. There certainly wasn’t room to stand or move much, but everyone had a seat and a view.

“I’ve put Antoine Johnson on the John Bertalay phone. Nothing so far, but if AKA uses it, we’ll know where he is.”

“We’ll know where the phone is, anyway,” Boone said. “Can’t imagine he’s still carrying it.”

“Well, yeah. I need to let Antoine know that we’ve got Bertalay’s real name. Alfonso isn’t John. And Lamonica isn’t Bertalay. Can’t tell the players without a scorecard.” Jack turned to Tidwell. “While I’m doin’ that, can these guys play for Boone the call we just heard?”

Boone watched Jack make his way out of the van and walk through the parking garage, whispering into his phone.

“You know Mannock,” Tidwell said. “The other voice is Kevin S. Kenleigh, slash Johnnie Bertalay, slash Alfonso Lamonica. Listen. . . .”

“We’re not even s’posed to be talking, Mannock.”

“That’s why you haven’t been answering your phone?”

“That phone is long gone, dim wad. What do you think, I carry around evidence that’ll connect me to the job?”

“I need the Buick.”

“I left you the Buick, just like we planned. You can’t find that beast, you’re blind. Both front windows open, keys behind the visor. If it’s not there, it ought to be easy to find.
