Chapter 24
Sarah finally managed to get some sleep. We both woke up early in the morning, the gee who owned the old drum had a stocked refrigerator, a coffee pot and a stove so Sarah cooked them all a big breakfast. She cooked enough for four people which included Paul, the owner of the speakeasy, Roxy his flame, myself and Sarah.
Paul was a good friend of mine so I gave him the low down on everything. He was sympathetic to our problems, but the coppers were putting the screws to everyone and we wouldn't be able to stay at his joint another night. I would not want the bulls to have a reason to throw Paul into the slammer, so the sooner we leave the better.
It had just turned 8 AM when Sarah made her call to the FBI. It was answered by the secretary. As soon as Sarah spoke, the secretary recognized her voice and started giving advice. "Honey, where are you? No, don't tell me, everyone is looking for you. Why did you do it? I know that Special Agent Fitzgerald can be a trial at times, but you should not have joined up with that criminal Malone.
Sarah finally got a word in, "Mr. Malone is not a criminal! He is being framed. Let me talk to Special Agent Fitzgerald and I can get this all made jake." It took a few minutes before Fitzgerald came on the blower.
Fitzgerald was angry too. "What the hell do you think you are doing Goldman? The police in three states are on the look out for you and have issued orders to shoot on sight! You are currently suspended and will probably be thrown off the FBI! Why did you break into that house, blow the safe and shoot that woman?
"I did not shoot anybody! That woman was tied up but fine when we left. We only blew the safe to get evidence on Marks. He is your real criminal!"
"It was your gun that shot and killed that woman. You committed the crime of breaking into a safe to get evidence? You know that any evidence gotten through a criminal enterprise will not be admissible in court. Did you also know that Mr. Marks is a friend of both the police and the mayor's office?
"I put in my report that my gun had been taken a hood when I narrowly escaped an attempt on my life. That evidence is not for any court, it's for the Government. And I've got pictures of Marks meeting with men high in the Police Force, the District Attorney's Office and the Mayor's Office. They are all in on it! You would not believe what they are planning!
