"What do you know?" Richards asked.

"You know who they were with?" Kirk asked.

"I heard them say they was with PR."

"PR? Who’s that?"

"I don’t know who he is?" she said and pulled on the twenty.

"You know where we can find this PR?" Richards asked and Kirk moved his foot.

"I don’t know nothin’," she said now that she had the money.

Both detectives laughed as they left the apartment. Kirk took out his phone and called Detective Sanchez. "Gene, its Kirk. You got anything on somebody called PR? Might be the new player behind tonight’s victims."

"Name isn’t familiar, but I’ll float it around and see what comes back."

"Thanks, Gene," Kirk said. He hung up the phone and got in the car.

"Where you wanna go now?" Richards asked.

"You call it."

"Let’s go see Stark," Richards said and drove off.

According to information they had gotten from Sanchez, Stark could be found at a cafeteria-style sit down restaurant called Fat Larry’s. It was a chicken and rib joint that he had taken over from a guy name Larry Mills. He kept Larry around as a front, and besides, he was a great cook; nobody made ribs like Fat Larry.

In one of their many conversations Black recommended that Stark buy or open a business. "Makes you a business man, not a drug dealer," Black told him. "And makes it a cash business."

When they arrived at the place there were a few people enjoying their meal. "Smells good," Kirk said to his partner as they entered Fat Larry's.

"What; you wanna stay and eat?"

"Maybe another time. I’ll come and checkout the food," Kirk said as they approached the hostess.

"Two?" she asked.

"No," Richards said and flashed his badge. "We’re looking for Bruce Stark."

The hostess picked up two menu place mats. "Follow me, please." Kirk and Richards looked at each other and then followed the hostess as she led the detectives to a table. "Can I get you something to drink?"

"No thank you," Kirk said.

"Okay, I’ll let Mr. Stark know that you’re here. Someone will be with you soon," she said and walked off.

When she left, Kirk got up and checked out the food behind the counter. "Food looks good too," he said as Moon approached the table.

"You detectives mind showing me your ID?" Moon asked then he looked at Kirk. "I remember you. Detective Kirkland, isn’t it?"

"That’s right," Kirk said and was about to show Moon his badge.

Moon held up his hand. "No need, gentlemen. Mr. Stark will be out in a minute," Moon said and walked away.

It wasn’t long before Stark came and joined them at the table. "Detectives," he said and sat down.

"Nice place you got here," Kirk said.

"Thank you."
