“What?” Carly stated. “Wecanrob him?”

“No, no, it’s the sample of exercise within the account. Cash disappears in massive chunks, then reappears a couple of weeks later. Occurs again and again. However he’s not getting forward.”

Pony stated, “I don’t perceive.”

“He’s getting cash despatched to him… in all probability bribes… however then it’s gone. He’s not getting forward, not making any progress. It simply goes proper again to the place it got here from… bought it. Received it!”

Pony stated, “So he’s unhealthy along with his cash?

“You’re shut. He’s shedding it playing, is my guess. I’ve seen this sample earlier than. Routine gamblers, lose and lose in massive chunks, then get a pile again once they organize for extra credit score, or promote one thing off, or steal one thing as a way to gas their behavior. It types this very same sample.”

“So that you suppose Harris has a playing drawback?”

“Not solely that, however he’s playing with the identical folks which are fronting him money. God, now all of it is smart.”

“Good,” Carly stated. “I like sense.”

Pony stated, “He’s been getting right into a gap with Navarro, hasn’t he?”

Piper nodded. “My guess is, for fairly some time.”

“In all probability bought his begin there,” Pony continued. “Navarro cleared up a debt, free of charge, no strings connected, understanding that Harris can be again. That he couldn’t assist himself.”

“Proper,” Piper stated. “And as soon as he was on the hook, Navarro may begin to squeeze him, just a bit at first, one thing fully innocuous and tiny that no one would care about or discover. Repair a parking ticket or one thing as minor.”

“After which as soon as that was performed, Navarro may use the implied risk of exposing their relationship to maintain nudging Harris additional and additional down the darkish street.”

“Wow,” Carly stated. “You guys, like, actually know these things.”

“Cop,” Piper stated, with a nod towards Pony. “Outlaw. That is sort of our factor.”

“So, that is it, proper?” Carly stated. “The proof we want?”

“Hopefully. Hopefully it’s sufficient… what’s this?”

“Extra playing money owed getting forgiven?” Pony requested.

“No… this one… this can be a deposit that Harris sends to a different account. Not a playing loss again to Navarro.”

“He’sthe one bribing anyone?” Pony stated. “Harris? Who’s he bribing?”

“That’s what I’m looking for out. It’s one other Cayman account… heh. Dummy.”

“Who, Harris?”

“No, no. Harris lined his tracks,” Piper stated. “And he was being good, sending it to a different Caymans account. Troublesome to trace that. Besides, the man he bribed, instantly moved it out of the Caymans account and to his common, private account right here within the good outdated USA. The place I can get his identify.”

“Whoever Harris bribed, was a little bit too wanting to seize onto that money and spend it. Received sloppy,” Pony stated. “How a lot was it?”

“Thirty grand.”

“You will have the identify?”

“Yeah. Yeah, it’s… hunh. Carly, do you keep in mind the identify of that cop in Philly who arrested you?”

“You guess I do,” Carly stated. “Barry? Barney?”

“Bailey?”
