“Nope.”
Rapp looked at the far wall and thought of the agreement he’d made with the banker. “Kapodistras must have shit himself.”
“Who?”
“Kapodistras, the banker.”
“Wicker said he was a nervous wreck the whole time, but as soon as he saw how much cash was in the box, he stopped complaining. Did you have any idea there would be that much cash?”
“No,” Rapp shook his head. “What else was in there?”
“Passports, credit cards…the standard stuff. He also had one of those new memory sticks that mirrors your hard drive.”
Rapp looked to Dumond.
“When are they due in?” Dumond asked Coleman.
“They left Paris this morning and should be landing just before noon.”
“What did they do with all the cash?” Rapp asked.
“They gave it all to the banker and instructed him to wire half of it to our account in the Bahamas.”
“The guns?”
“Left them in the box with the fake passports and credit cards.”
“Nice touch.”
“There was one other thing of interest in the box. Two index cards. One with a series of apparently random numbers. The other with dates and dollar amounts.”
“They sent me photos of the cards,” Dumond announced as he held up his PDA for Rapp to see. “The first card is a series of codes, probably for other accounts he has. The second card,” Dumond pressed a button and the tiny screen showed the second photo, “looks like a list of deposits.”
“Maybe.” Rapp studied the tiny image for a moment and then said, “Or they might be something else.”
“Like what?”
“Jobs.”
“Jobs?” Dumond wasn’t following.
“They’re notches on his belt. My guess is each one coincides with a hit he made and how much he was paid.”
Dumond looked at the small screen. “Some of them don’t have a dollar amount.”
“Kills he didn’t get paid for,” Rapp answered.
“Sick fucker,” Coleman added. “You keep track of your kills?” he asked Rapp.
“No.”
“The only guys I ever knew who did were the twisted ones.”
Dumond’s phone rang and he walked out into the hallway to take it. Rapp looked at Coleman and said, “Gazich lied to me on the plane.”
“About?”
“How things went down.”
