The Dead Man's Brother
“I had been doing what they had probably wanted me to do; i.e., thinking. This, in turn, made me feel the way they must have wanted me to feel: scared.
The whole setup smelled as badly as the bucket.
Morales had produced police identification at my request, and he acted like a cop. The desk man had made the elaborate display of his credentials, and he seemed a meticulous fellow.
But no one had been in uniform, and the flunkies had been unnecessarily quick when it came to shoving and seizing arms... and shoulders.
And the place did not look like any station I had ever been in. There was no flag, no dusty photos of judges, politicians, supercops on the walls… And while I was supposedly there for questioning, and they had not seemed particularly busy, I had not been asked a single question yet.
I had been caught in a series of lies and cover-ups under very suspicious circumstances, they had doubtless discovered the lockpicks in the lining of my wallet and if they had checked with the authorities at the most recent place of departure indicated on my passport, they may or may not have been told that I was wanted for questioning in connection with three killings.MoreLess
