On the drive back to Crown Heights, Cullen said, “I guess Galvani’s eliminating loose ends.”

Boff nodded. “It would seem that way,” he said. “Since we’re a bit stalled on the case at this point, I think it’s time for me to shake Galvani’s tree.”

Hannah looked puzzled. “Shake his tree? What does that mean?”

“It means I’m going to confront him with some facts he won’t like.”

“Why?”

“To rattle him. In a rattled state of mind, he’s more likely to make a mistake.”

“Or try to kill you,” Cullen said.

Boff nodded. “True. After I have a talk with him, I guess I’ll have to start wearing that infernal Kevlar again.”

“Are you going to have Wallachi supply you with bodyguards? Like the last time?”

“Not just yet, Danny. If things heat up, then, yeah, I will.”

“You know, Boff,” the boxer said, “I seem to recall after we caught Julio’s murderers you told me risking your life was the stupidest thing you’d ever done and you would never do it again.”

Boff said nothing.

“Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe you said the same thing after our second case, when you were shot at.”

Boff stayed silent.

“And the third case?” Cullen said. “Where you were nearly killed three times? You said it again. So…I’m wondering. Do you have a death wish? Or are you just developing a heroic streak late in your morally-challenged life?”

Instead of replying, Boff took a Little Richard disk out of his leather CD holder, inserted it, and turned up the volume. Cullen immediately turned it down. “If you’re going to confront that crooked cop Galvani,” he said, “why don’t you bring me along to protect you?”

“You have to keep an eye on Hannah.”

Hannah shot forward from the back seat. “I don’t need a damn babysitter!”

“Yes you do,” Boff replied. “If it weren’t for Danny, who knows how badly those guys would’ve cut you. Stop complaining and do what your Uncle Mike said.”
