Chapter 31

His backside hit the driver’s seat as he heard the police sirens cars getting closer. The key was in the ignition, avoiding the problems he had earlier with the apartment door. A quick turn, and the engine came to life. Grabbing the gear shift on the steering column, he dropped it into drive and pulled away in a casual and methodical manner.

Police cars raced up Massachusetts Avenue, hitting the intersection of Columbus Avenue just as the light turned green and Falau was driving by them in the opposite direction, keeping his head fixed forward and making no eye contact with the police in the cars flying past him.

He kept going straight through the intersection and drove up to the next, taking a right on Huntington Avenue toward the Prudential Center. Falau was sure that the mix and twist of roads would expose anyone who may be following him, though the idea that more guards were on the way had not escaped his mind. Perhaps they were just waiting outside for him to leave and then start the chase again.

“Hello,” said a voice behind him.

“Oh!” The word shot from his mouth as he jumped in his seat, his heart rate doubled. Instinctively his hand reached back for the 9mm tucked into the back of his jeans.

The sounds of the voice filtered in his mind and was rapidly deciphered, as the next words came forth from the back seat.

“Sorry. Didn’t mean to frighten you,” said Tyler in a calm and soothing tone. “Don’t shoot me.”

“Shit! What the hell did you do that for?” questioned Falau, knowing full well why Tyler needed to be secretive with everything he did.

“There were a lot of eyes back there so I just laid under a blanket back here until you got going. Out of sight, out of mind.”

Falau looked in the rearview mirror and saw his friend sitting in the back seat of the van. His hair and suit looked impeccable, despite his claim he’d been under a blanket waiting for the right time to pop up.

“Thanks for the cleanup crew. I figured I was screwed with them kicking down the door and me shooting them.”

“No problem. After you got out this morning I was thinking Wise might have gotten word of it. A man like that would rather just kill you at this point than stick you back in jail.”

“Nice to know.”

Sitting in silence the two men sized one another up. Falau wondered why Tyler was in his car now.

Tyler looked side to side out the windows, fidgeting in his seat. He looked like a preacher who had forgotten his sermon and was looking for the right thing to say.

“Falau, I have always been straight with you and there is no need to change that now. Is this all too much for you?”

“What?”

“Is this all too much for you?’

“You’re kidding me, right?” Falau’s tone switched to anger as his fist pounded on the steering wheel. “In the last eight hours I have escaped from jail.
