“What I told you I wanted done, I want done tomorrow. But I’m not much of a morning person. Shall we meet here for lunch before you go off to complete your work?”
“Lunch sounds fine,” Bolan said, standing up and shaking McFarley’s hand.
“But wait, I almost forgot,” the criminal kingpin said. “I offered you the ladies. Want a few hours down below with Maria or some of the other girls?”
“Sometime, but not tonight. I’ve got a move to make and a plan to develop so I can get your job done tomorrow and stay out of jail after I’ve done it.”
McFarley nodded. “You’re a man of great self-control,” he said. “I like that.”
“I like it, too,” Bolan said.
A moment later he was being led through the hallways by O’Banion and Westbrook, descending in the elevator and being walked to the front door of the brothel. When the shorter of the men opened the door for him, Bolan stopped and held out his hand.
“What is it you want?” the short man asked.
“My knife,” Bolan said.
The shorter man smiled. “I was thinking I’d just keep it myself,” he said. “Got to playing with it when you were having dinner. I like it.”
“I like it, too,” Bolan said as he reached into the side pocket of his sport coat, brought out the NAA .22 Magnum revolver and shoved it under the goon’s nose. “That’s why I want it back.”
“Where’d that come from?” the short man asked, looking cross-eyed down at the barrel.
“I brought it in with me,” Bolan said as he cocked the tiny firearm. “You missed it. Now give me the knife.”
Slowly, the man with the gun in his face reached into his own jacket and pulled out the Cold Steel folding knife.
Bolan clipped the weapon to his belt over his right hip, then pocketed the Pug again.
He waited while the chauffeur opened the limo door for him, then slid into the backseat of the vehicle.
