A high
profile murder of a Wall Street executive in Westchester pits three people against the
criminal underbelly of Manhattan
Teaser Excerpt:
David first opened
the door to a closet on the left, searching it with the gun muzzle, before
approaching the door at the end of the hall and kicking it open. An angry,
naked man stood on the other side, his anger changing to fear in seconds once
he beheld the gun pointing in his direction.
“Get back into
bed,” David ordered.
The pale-bodied
man responded as he staggered backward. The foot of the bed struck the back of
his knees, sending him seated on the mattress. The woman on the bed had by this
time covered herself with the sheets, and curled her legs up.
While Kevin stood
nervously in the doorway, David searched the room and the closets, the muzzle
of the shotgun again serving as a probe, but found no one.
“What the…?” Chase
asked David.
After searching
through the room, David tossed the shotgun to Kevin.
Suddenly, Chase
went white-hot heat, crawling backward into the arms of his woman in sheer
panic screaming, “What do you want?!”
“I want
information,” David demanded, going to the foot of the bed, standing before
them with Kevin directly behind him. “I want to know who whacked Osterman.”
“How am I to know?!” Chase shouted back.
His hair was a wild tangle, his eyes wide as saucers with fright.
“Don’t yell at
me,” David said calmly. “I want answers. I’m not interested in killing you.”
“You bust into my
crib and start throwing guns around. You’re crazy, man, what do you think I’m
thinking?”
“You were moving
dope for Osterman,” David persisted, ignoring Chase’s remarks.
“Osterman! He jerked me.”
“With the
Colombians.”
“Damn right.”
“And you didn’t
like that.”
“No, I didn’t.”
“So, you had one
of your soul brothers do him in.”
“Oh hell, no. My
people don’t kill. We don’t mess with weapons like you do.”
“And the reason
for that?”
“More jail time .
. . What are you? A cop?”
“Don’t worry about
what I am,” David growled back. “You are moving weight. I want to know what
happened after Osterman jerked you.”
“He jerked me.
That’s all.”
“That’s all? You
didn’t go to the Colombians? Liar!”
“Yes, yes, I did
that!” Chase corrected. “I went to the Colombians as soon as I knew he jerked
me. I begged them to give me another chance. They said they would, if I
replaced their one hundred kilos. One
hundred kilos! How do I do that?”
“Put bullets into
Osterman for revenge.”
“How is that going
to get me my one hundred kilos?”
“Let me explain it
to you, genius. The Colombians trust Osterman enough to give him a heavy
shipment. You find it, whack him, and take his shipment back to the Colombians.
Paid in full.”
Chase thought that
over for a second or two. “But that’s not what happened.”
“Convince me
otherwise.”
The word “Freeze!” were suddenly heard from the
doorway. David frowned as he glanced over his shoulder to see a scruffy looking
black male, armed with his own shotgun.
