CHAPTER TEN

Matt

I take a deep breath as the thug shows me into Bobby Kinahan’s office at the back of his casino, after patting me down for weapons that I had the good sense not to bring.

Kinahan sits on a leather sofa in the corner of the room, a fat cigar in his equally fat hands. He’s a large, surprisingly jovial looking man, although I know enough about him to know that joviality can be very easily replaced with cold-hearted cruelty. You don’t become a crime lord like Kinahan without a certain level of sadism...and it’s because of that, that I’m inclined to believe Adam when he said he wouldn’t be crazy enough to cross Bobby of all people.

“Good evening Mr. O’Brien,” he says in a cheerful voice. “Take a seat,” he waves me into another couch opposite him. It's a huge office...more of a suite. I sit down, eyeing him warily at the same time as trying not to look as though that’s exactly what I’m doing. I don’t scare easily and I’m not scared of Kinahan...but I don’t have a death wish, either.

“You said you had a proposition for me?”

He takes a puff on his cigar before placing it in a huge gold ashtray next to him.

“I did say that. I’m happy to post bail for our mutual friend.”

My eyebrows shoot up into my hairline at the same time as my stomach sinks as I wonder what he’s going to want in return for this little favor. I also realize he meant it when he said he knew Adam was innocent...so was it him that set him up? But then why post his bail?

“I need you to tell me what’s going on here,” I tell him. He nods.

“Yes. The problem is, Mr. O’Brien, that I don’t know exactly what is going on here myself...that’s what I want you to find out.”

“I’m not a cop anymore,” I tell him and he barks a laugh in response.

“I’m very aware of that...if you were you wouldn’t be sitting here, now would you? Unless you were a bent cop, and we both know that’s not your style...unlike our mutual friend. I imagine it must have been very frustrating, knowing that he was working for me the whole time that you were trying to bring me down.”

That stings and I feel myself getting angry. I try to swallow my rage as I snap out, “Can we cut the crap? You called me here, remember?”

Kinahan looks angry and I wonder if I’ve gone too far, but then his pudgy jowls settle into an expression of respect.

“I like you, O'Brien. Always did...it’s why you’re still alive. Now, the reason I'm prepared to post bail for Adam is because I know damn well it wasn’t him that stole my merchandise.”

“Because you set him up,” I say. Kinahan blinks and looks surprised.

“Me? Why would I do that? He was a useful asset. No, I’m happy it wasn’t him...what I don’t know is just what is going on here.”
