Rudy Sheehan didn’t know what to make of the situation. When he got back to the Rory Club, Kella, his new barmaid, was quick to explain about some rough looking types asking about him. Kella had no interest in Rudy’s business affairs. She was simply working the bar to pay her way through medical school. Still, she had good sense and street instincts. She instantly figured the men for some hardened criminal types.
Kella’s instincts had proven fairly accurate in the past when she was concerned about someone. Since he was currently hiding someone who, he was sure, had committed a serious crime in his city, he was already concerned about who might come around asking questions. The problem was, who were these guys and what were they after? Was it even related to his charge or to some other affair he’d been embroiled in?
His questions were answered when Kella’s face went blank with concern as she raised her hand and pointed. Turning, Rudy felt a cold chill suddenly crawl down his spine. The image of Cork Regan was a familiar one in the Dublin criminal world; he was someone everyone feared. Regan never went asking for someone unless they had run afoul of the IRA. Regan walked from the far end of the club and made his way toward Rudy at the bar. Regan’s men fanned out to surround him.
It wasn’t hard for Rudy to deduce that his club had been watched. Someone shadowing the place called Regan the moment he returned. That the IRA’s top enforcer in the city was so interested in speaking to him gave him definite cause for concern.
“Rudy Sheehan,” Cork greeted in a manner sounding like an old friend but came across in a more sinister manner.
“Tend to the boxes in the back,” Rudy commanded Kella. “And, take your time about it.”
Kella looked concerned as she nodded and slipped quickly into the back room. The IRA men did not chase after her. Hopefully, they had no interest in her or saw her as a potential witness to anything they intended.
Cork took up a seat at the bar. “Ah, Rudy, he began. “I was just driving about with the lads when we thought we’d stop by.”
“I understand you were looking for me earlier.”
“I was, to be certain,” the enforcer cracked a sinister looking smile. “You see, a few days back, a detective with the Garda was killed ─ assassinated is a better word. Marston Donovan worked for the intelligence boys, you know ─ the Crime Special Surveillance Unit.”
“I heard about it. Nasty business.” Rudy kept his composure, though he could feel a cold pool of sweat forming.
Regan continued, “It is indeed. Especially, since the killer hasn’t been caught. Hell, a suspect hasn’t even been identified. This makes certain types whom I answer to kinda angry. Such a decorated lad working for the service of his people gets offed by some piece of shit, and no one knows who he is.”
“I can imagine. Bad stuff all around.” Rudy kept his words minimal as he listened intently.
