    ... wine and placed two hundreds on under his now empty wine glass.
    
    "Maybe you can try to see the humor in all of this, I certainly have. Kate you fucked your way into this mess, and your continued fucking has been your undoing."
    
    While Bill was talking Kate had moved her purse onto her lap and had her hand in it as if searching for something.
    
    "I'm going to kill you myself you son of a bitch. I'm not going down without a fight, and if it's true I only have a few months to live, I won't have to worry about getting locked up."
    
    "It's not there."
    
    "What, what's not there?"
    
    "That little gun you're licensed to carry 'for your protection'. It's not in the bottom of your purse where it normally is. I'm afraid that's the gun Justin used this morning to paint the wall of your apartment with his brains."
    
    Kate sat back and her shoulders slumped, "This can't be happening. How did orchestrate all this? And why now?"
    
    "Justin was easy; his penchant for soft, pliable Latina's was his undoing. Once he was infected we could only hope that you'd soon have it too. The young lady is the daughter of an associate. Her two younger sisters have a trust to pay for a full ride to a stateside college in return for doing this service for me. Her father went along after we delivered a paper bag with the head of the bastard that had raped Stella. Her misfortune has paved the way for her family to heal; and for me to exact justice.

    ... morning. Although, I have to admit that we helped him along with his dramatic exit and note. We have been thorough."
    
    "As for why now, I'm retiring. AB is taking over the shop and she doesn't need the legacy of you still hanging about. Your justice has been delayed long enough. It's kinda my retirement gift to her. But the overriding reason is that I don't want you still on this side of the lawn if there's any possibility of your being in my grandbaby's life."
    
    Kate's hand went to her mouth, AB was pregnant! She was going to be a grandmother. Somewhere deep inside her stirred some twisted maternal emotion.
    
    "There, right there. I can see it in your eyes. You've just realized you're going to be a grandmother. Something just clicked in that putrid place you call your soul. I'm sorry Kate, I can't allow that. AB doesn't deserve whatever would come from your being suddenly interested in her baby. You gotta go. And as a matter of fact, I gotta go too. There is a plane idling on the tarmac waiting to whisk me away. I'm afraid this is good by Kate. I hope wherever you end up there is some mercy for you, I certainly don't have any to give you."
    
    And with that Bill walked out of the restaurant to a waiting car. He was gone in an instant.
    
    Kate sat fuming. He thought he was so clever, Bill thought he could bring her down. We'll she would go out fighting; she was Law and Order Morgan. She made the rules for others to follow. If Bill thought he'd defeated her he had another thing ...
