CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE

9:27 p.m.

With his children involved, the only way out of this was to see it through. To do that, he needed Maggie. There was no other option. She'd lied to him before, but Marty now sensed it wasn’t with malice, but because she felt threatened by what was happening now.

She was scared and trying to protect herself. He felt she was finally being honest with him. Still, if she thought for one second that her fear would ever get in the way of him protecting his daughters, she was a fool. His family was in danger. To end this, he would do whatever it took.

He watched Roberta go back into the kitchen. "Alright," he said. "Go on."

“I need you to understand one thing," she said. "If my name is connected to any of this, I’ll be dead in a week.”

“You don’t know that.”

“I do know that."

"Then we'll keep your name out of it. Why were you at Wood's?"

"How did you know I was at Wood's?"

"It's what I do."

"She had a videotape I wanted. She had files on Mark. With him dead, there was no one else who could protect his memory from that tape and those files if someone didn't intervene and destroy them. So, I called and threatened her. I got from her what she never should have had."

"What was her condition when you got there?"

"She was high, but at least she had the box ready. I was there for about ten minutes. I left with what I came for."

"Why does the FBI have a file on you?"

"We’ve already discussed that. They think I have Mark’s stolen money, but I don’t. That’s their only interest in me.”

Marty knew the answer--he just wanted to see if she delivered the same response. She did. “Who would want to kill you?”

“Who do you think? You’ve seen the DVDs.”

“I’ve seen one DVD.”

“Fine, you’ve seen one. That’s enough.” She cocked an eyebrow at him. “Did you recognize anyone on that tape, Marty?”

“Senator Diamond from Arkansas.”

“No one else?”

“Everyone else was wearing a leather mask.”

“Then you chose the wrong DVD.”

“Who else should I have seen?”

“Diamond was enough,” Maggie said. “Take off those leather masks and you would have seen more senators. More players with power. People who could buy and sell your ass a hundred times over.”

“Wolfhagen started this club?”

“He started it."

"Was it a sex club?"

"It was whatever they wanted it to be. A sex club. A place to relax. A kink palace. A place to drink and have your drugs served a la carte. You could participate or just watch. It was whatever you wanted it to be because that's what that crowd demanded. Anything they wanted. Admission wasn't free. Each paid millions to join."

“Who belonged?”

“Every bull who mattered on Wall Street, and then it grew to include others.”

“Give me names.”

“Lasker,” she said. “Schwartz. Wood. The Coles. Gerald Hayes. Everyone who testified against him in court, and many others.”

“What about Boesky? Milken? Levine?”

She raised an eyebrow at him. “What do you think?”

“Tell me about Mark's involvement.
