half of his face was visible under his dark, brimmed that. At twenty-five feet the features were hard to distinguish in the glare and shadows of the streetlights, but Harrison Ronald knew who he was: Vincent Pioche, hitter for the Costello family in Brooklyn and Queens. According to Freddy Murray, the FBI thought he had killed over twenty men. No one knew for sure, including Pioche, who had probably forgotten some of his victims. Brains weren’t his long suit.

If you were going to make your living in criminal enterprises, Ford mused, you should either be a rocket scientist or mildly retarded. The people between those extremes were the ones in trouble. The thinking they did was both too much and not enough. Like Tooley.

That line of thought led him to consider himself He had a high school diploma and two years of college. He could balance a checkbook and write a report. Tooley probably could have too, if he had had any reports to write.

Was he as smart as Freeman Mcationally, the PhD. of crack philosophy? The very thought gave him goosebumps. The wind was cold and he had been out here over an hour. He began

walking around.

Ike came out about ten-thirty and relieved him while he went inside for a break. He got another cup of coffee and hit the bathroom.

He was standing by the guard with the Uzi in the hallway sipping coffee when the door to the living room opened and Fat Tony came out. He already had his coat on. Freeman was behind him.

Freeman followed Tony to the door while Harrison trailed after. Together they stood on the stoop and watched Tony Anselmo get into the car. As it drove off, Mcationally said, “There goes the two guys Who killed Harrington and Lincoln a couple weeks ago.”

Because he thought he ought to say something, Harrison Ronald asked, “How’d you hear that?”

“You can find out anything if you know who to ask and you’ve got enough money.”

Freeman went back inside. Ike nodded and Harrison

descended to the sidewalk.

Yeah, with enough money to spread around you can find out anything, like who’s the undercover cop in the Mcationally organization.

On Saturday morning at eight a.m. Harrison Ronald Ford met special agents Hooper and Murray in the motel in Fredericksburg. The first thing he did was give them the forty-three hundred dollars that Freeman had given him. The money, Hooper said, would go to a fund to finance antidrug operations.

As they sipped coffee, Harrison Ronald told them the news: “Freeman says Fat Tony Anselmo and Vinnie Pioche killed two guys named Harrington and Lincoln several weeks ago.”

“How’d he find out?” Freddy asked. “He says he asked the right person and used money.”

“We’ll follow it up. Right now I think those murders are being investigated by local police. To the best of MY knowledge, they’re wide open.”

“Did he know why?” Hooper asked.

“Freeman didn’t say specifically. Fat Tony spent an hour and a half with him last night. I think it’s this moneywashing business.
