“This is an even better one.”
“Not to me.”
“You’d be safer working with us. I’ll take care of you.”
“Like you took care of Ali? No thanks.”
“I told you, she was out on her own the night she died. I had no knowledge of it, and I certainly didn’t put her in that situation.”
I shook my head. “You’re already on the inside. If you don’t have enough to convict them already, what the hell do you think I can find?”
“I’m a mid-level player. You have access to the president of the club.”
“I’ve slept with him a couple of times. That’s it. It’s just a fling.”
The ‘just a fling’ part was a lie. I knew it – and apparently Eddie did, too.

“You said ‘three years.’ You’ve been undercover three years?”
“Just under three, yes.”
“Three years, and you haven’t found anything.”
“We’ve found plenty.”
“But not enough, or you would have busted them already.”
For the first time, I saw Agent Deacon squirm. “I can’t comment on an ongoing investigation.”
“You haven’t found shit,” I realized.
