Butch was one of the ones who’d escaped from the grasps of Jacobs and Thrower. He and six more of his men. Once they had successfully gotten away, Butch called Mallette to let him know what happened. He also wanted a little assistance. Without knowing how Jacobs had found him, Butch wasn’t certain about going to any of his other places. If Jacobs could find him once, he could do it again. And he didn’t want to take those kinds of chances.

Mallette told him to come to his current office. He had guards outside patrolling the building. Mallette was relatively comfortable in that Jacobs didn’t know he was there. But even if he did, he was OK with engaging him. Mallette also wasn’t too concerned about Butch being followed, or tailed somehow.

When Butch and his boys arrived, Mallette was looking out the window, waiting for them. Once they were led into the building, Mallette went over to his desk and sat down. He tried to keep a calm demeanor. He wasn’t happy about Butch losing men, but at least they weren’t his. He didn’t have many to spare.

As Butch was finally led into the office, he immediately went over to the window. He walked right past the desk, not even acknowledging Mallette’s presence. Mallette watched him closely. Butch looked like a flustered man. Of course, it was understandable, considering he’d just got ambushed. He let Butch stare out the window for a good solid minute before talking.

“I would doubt they’re coming,” Mallette finally said.

“How can you be sure?”

“I can’t. But I don’t believe they know about this place. If they did, they would’ve hit it first. I believe I’m farther up on Jacobs’ hit list than you are.”

“I’m not so sure now.”

“Relax. Have a drink. Settle your nerves.”

“I just lost eleven men back there. Eleven. That’s a big hit for one night.”

“Believe me, I understand.” Mallette got up and walked over to a cabinet that housed all his liquor. He grabbed a couple glasses and poured themselves some vodka. He brought the glasses over to Butch, handing him one. “Here. Drink up.”

Butch stared at him for a moment, not so sure about having one. He didn’t feel like celebrating after what he’d just been through. But maybe it would help to calm him down. He took the glass and instantly put it up to his lips. After taking a few sips, he gave more thought to what had happened. “How’d he know we were there?”

Mallette walked back to his desk and sat down again. “He had help?”

“The dog was there. And another guy. Not Franks. This guy was equally as dangerous. He knew what he was doing.”

“Ah, the mysterious player that gave Ames some fits.”

“I still wanna know how he found us.”

Mallette took a sip of his drink. “I’ve long suspected he’s got more help than we know of. It’s not just him and his dog.”

“Well, there’s Franks.”

“I don’t even count Franks. He’s an information guy. He’s good at getting people together, finding out information that’s floating around.
