department had taken such bad publicity for illegally bugging officers, civil rights leaders, even movie stars in the past, that these two were not going to make an issue of this. Saving their own hides came before skinning Bosch. �You got a warrant saying you can drop a bug on me?� �Listen to me, Bosch,� Lewis said. �I told you, we � �I didn�t think so. Have to have evidence of a crime to get a warrant. Least that�s what I always heard. But Internal Affairs doesn�t usually bother with details like that. You know what your assault case looks like, Clarke? While you two are taking me to the Board of Rights and getting me fired for dragging you out of the car and getting grass stains on your shiny asses, I�m going to be taking you two, your boss Irving, IAD, the police chief and the whole fucking city to federal court on a Fourth Amendment case. Illegal search and seizure. I�ll throw in the mayor, too. How�s that?� Clarke spit on the grass at Bosch�s feet. A drop of blood from his nose fell onto his white shirt. He said, �You can�t prove that came from us, �cause it didn�t.� �Bosch, what do you want?� Lewis blurted out, his rage turning his face a darker red than it had been when his tie had been tightened like a noose around his neck. Bosch started walking in a slow circle around them, so they had to constantly turn their heads or bend around the palm trunk to watch him. �What do I want? Well, as much as I despise you two, I don�t really want to have to drag your asses into court. Dragging them across the sidewalk was enough. What I want -� �Bosch, you ought to get your fuckin� head examined,� Clarke burst out. �Shut up, Clarke,� Lewis said. �You shut up,� Clarke said back. �Matter of fact, I have had it examined,� Bosch said. �And I still would rather have mine than yours. You�d need a proctologist to check yours out.� He said this as he circled close behind Clarke. Then he moved out a few steps and continued to make the rounds. �I�ll tell you what, I�m willing to let bygones be bygones on this. All you have to do is answer a few questions and we�re square on this little mix-up. I�ll cut you loose. After all, we�re all part of the Family, right?� �What questions, Bosch?� Lewis said. �What are you talking about?� �When�d you start the tail?� �Tuesday morning, we picked you up when you left the FBI,� Lewis said. �Don�t tell him shit, man,� Clarke said to his partner. �He already knows.� Clarke looked at Lewis and shook his head like he couldn�t believe what he was hearing. �When�d you drop the bug in my phone?� �Didn�t,� Lewis said. �Bullshit. But never mind. You saw me interview the kid down in Boytown.� It was a statement, not a question. Bosch wanted them to think he knew most of it and just needed the gaps filled in.
