CHAPTER NINE

“I mean it, George!” James yelled. He grabbed a cup of ice water with his age-spotted right hand and sipped from the long white straw. His hand shook. “If you tell Saint I’m back in the hospital, he’ll drop everything and come running back here. I won’t be able to get rid of him, either. It will mess up his entire investigation. Saint has this uncontrollable urge to play savior with me so please, for the love of God, don’t say anything! Remember last year in Reno when I fell? He wouldn’t get the hell out of my room. There have been other instances like that over the years. And I’ve got a feeling he is closing in on this guy. I don’t want that jeopardized. You remember what happened to us in 1976, no doubt? We can’t allow another one to get away and Saint is closing in. Nothing can endanger this operation, not even my health.” James coughed into cradle of his arm.

“James, you’ve put me in a bad position. Saint was quite sore with me the first time this happened. I had taken your strict instructions at that point as well and he ended up not speaking to me for over a week.”

“So what? You should’ve been thankful for the break,” James teased.

“Normally I would have welcomed the silence since he horses around a bit too much for my liking with his flamboyant, loud ways and at times obnoxious behavior but when he’s angry, it isn’t pretty – not that Saint is exactly the cuddly type, but the whole incident upset me. I much prefer him silly and rambunctious than holding an axe to grind,” George complained. “He holds a grudge.”

“Oh, that’s not true. He’ll get over it. We can’t allow this guy to get away though.” James coughed again. “Speaking of Saint, I was going to take care of something last night before I was forced to come in here again. George, I need you to do me a favor. Look up a Mrs. Payton Smith. She lives in Queens, New York. She’s an attorney. I need her phone tapped immediately. I want her cell phone and house phone calls recorded and I want her followed. Anything, and I mean anything that she says about Saint, bring it to my attention at once.” James held his chest as his heart beat frantically.

Nurses rushed in, taking over as James was quickly leaned back and George pushed aside.
