Chapter Seven

Kit’s watch alarm went off at six. He got up and out of the house before anyone else stirred. After leaving a note on the counter that he’d be at headquarters if Natalie needed to talk to him, he left in his car. A rug-cleaning service van was parked across the street. He nodded to the guys and drove downtown.

At work he stopped in the makeshift lunch room where he poured two cups of coffee and grabbed a couple of doughnuts. When he reached his office, the first thing he saw was a forensics report in his in-basket. He put the food on the desk and reached for the printout.

The DNA from the black hair found in Rodney Harris’s car was a match for the DNA of felon Juanita Morales. Kit didn’t need to read the rest. The case was coming together. Where in the hell were she and Alonzo hiding out? How soon could Natalie expect another visit?

“Kit?”

Cy had arrived. “Come on in and have breakfast with me.”

“Don’t mind if I do.” They sat across from each other. Cy bit into a doughnut. “The guys were right. Anyone would think you’re a priest.” He squinted at his friend. “Is the collar providing enough protection?”

“What do you think?” Kit muttered before taking a sip of the hot coffee.

“I can only speak from my own experience. A week into my undercover role as Kellie’s husband and I wanted it to be real. I take it that’s the place where you are about now.”

“You’re not a Ranger for nothing.” Kit let out a frustrated sigh. “I swear I’m going to go crazy if I don’t catch up with the Morales duo soon.”

Cy leaned forward to reach for his cup. “That’s why I’m here. After talking with TJ, I sent you an email. Open it and take a look.”

Kit turned to the computer and found Cy’s email.

Marcos Garcia, 63, of Sunset Valley, Austin, Texas, convicted of wire fraud affecting a financial institution, has been sentenced to 18 months in prison. He’s been ordered to pay restitution totaling $400,000 by US District Court Judge Richard Salazar.

The Assistant US Attorney who handled the case stated that Garcia was an employee of the Empire Guaranty Mortgage Company based in Houston. He was responsible for preparing loan packages and forwarding the documents to financial institutions that provide financing and advisory services for assets management.

Kit looked up from his reading. “How do loan packages like these work?”

“In legal transactions, financial institutions purchase loans originated by mortgage companies, allowing the mortgage company to receive immediate payment and the financial institution to collect the interest.”

“How exactly was Garcia implicated?”

“During this scheme, he signed a number of loan documents using various names. He forwarded these documents to multiple investor financial institutions, one of which was Austin Metroplex Bank. In effect, Garcia set it up so that there were numerous loans all connecting back to a single property, a fact that was not disclosed to the financial institutions.”

“Ah.”

“The proceeds
