Ames To Kill (Three Full-Length Thrillers): The Killing League, The Recruiter, Killing the Rat
Page 59
Jack walked quickly ahead and then, a few feet from the spot on the beach where they stopped, he slowed. As he passed, he saw them out of the corner of his eye.
Amanda Rierdon's mouth was parted, her eyes closed, her lips tightly clamped on the lips of a dark-haired, slender woman. As Jack passed, they pulled their faces away.
Gloria Romano glanced at Jack. He walked slowly by, the puzzle piece slamming into place. Had Rierdon always wanted to put Romano away? Or only after she'd fallen in love with his wife? It didn't matter. She had the means to get it done. Gloria had helped by setting up Tommy Abrocci. Gloria couldn't very well wear a wire. If word got out that Gloria and Amanda were lovers, they'd have no case. But Tommy was an objective third party. So Gloria and Amanda set him up. Stuck him with a fake Internet luring charge. Only Tommy didn't cooperate. Now, Tommy was dead, and Gloria's husband was in prison.
And Betty was dead.
His hand moved toward the waistband of his swimming suit. A 9mm was nestled there, bought from a local in a filthy alley in Kingston.
He saw the two women kiss again. He and Betty had kissed like that. Never in Jamaica. Never leaning against a palm tree while the Caribbean sun warmed their skins.
He turned and raised the gun.
Bad things happened everywhere.
Even in Paradise.
