“I didn’t say they were counterfeit.”

Cooper looked cornered. He was starting to sweat. He turned in his chair, looking back at Tombstone. No help there.

I moved my chair closer to Cooper and leaned forward. I played a hunch. “You were a bad boy, weren’t you, Cooper?”

“I didn’t do nothing . . .”

“Do you know how many guys there are locked up who told me they didn’t do nothing.” My voice was lower, soothing. “I don’t think you were supposed to have those bills. I think you snagged them when nobody was looking.”

Sweat was beading heavily on Cooper’s forehead. “I’m not saying anything. Do you know how long I’d last in here if it got out I squealed.”

I sat back in my chair again. I nodded as if I was thinking about it. “Do you know how long you’d last in here if I put the word out about you stealing those bills? Do you think Mickey Cohen would just let that pass?”

I saw Cooper’s Adam’s apple bob up and down as he swallowed. “Look, don’t do that, okay?”

“Then tell me.”

Cooper rubbed his hands over his face. “The bills were just sitting there – a mountain of them. We was supposed to burn ‘em. Nobody was going to miss a handful. They was just samples.”

“Where was this?”

“This guy, Chadwick, brought them in to show Mickey. He had ‘em in a duffel bag. Told Mickey as soon as the good paper came in he was ready to roll.”

“You’re telling me this happened in Mickey’s office?”

“Yeah. Mickey went crazy. Yelling at Chadwick for bringing the stuff. Told Tellis and me to take the stuff out and burn it – make sure there was nothing left.”

“And you couldn’t bear to see all that funny money going up in smoke?”
