Scene 23
“Your wife was most cooperative, supervisor,” said H. “She gave us your gun.”
O’Shay leaned back in his chair in the interrogation room and didn’t look down at the pictures H laid on the table before him.
“Guess where you got that nick in your hand,” said H. “You were bitten by your gun.”
“The same gun that killed Joe Mazzaro,” said Frank. “Your gun, your dna. You killed the pimp.”
“Now why would I want to kill the guy?” said O’Shay.
“And your finger prints all over the drugs found in Sarah’s apartment,” said H.
“And who is Sarah?” asked O’Shay, sarcastically.
“The 19 year old girl you were having s*x with, dumb *ss!” said Frank.
“This is ridiculous.”
“Let me tell you how it works,” said H, with a smile. “You give the girl drugs to keep her coming back. Joe figures out his dancer is tweaked and black mails you.”
“Your wife just got finished threatening for divorce,” said Frank. “She’s not going to take kindly to you drugging a 19 year old so you can sleep with her.”
“But you don’t have the money to pay up right now do you?” said H. “You just made some big investments. So instead, you nip it in the bud. One shoot, Joe’s dead.”
“You have always been out to get me, Caine,” said O’Shay, “but it is not going to work.”
“Your gun, your dna,” said H. “You are going down.”
“Listen,” said the supervisor, “it was that girl, Sarah was her name? I was sleeping with her, I admit, and I did give her drugs. She wanted them. But I didn’t kill anyone.”
“You are caught, supervisor,” said H. “And this time, the net will not loosen.”
“I gave that girl the gun,” said O’Shay.
“You gave a drugged out teenager a deadly weapon?” said Frank.
“For protection from that Joe creature.”
“Protection? Bull!” said H. “If she had touched the gun, her prints would be all over it. If she had worn gloves, your prints would have been smudged. You prints are clear, your dna in the hammer, your gun found in your safe, in your home. And no, your wife didn’t touch it either. You killed Joe Mazzaro. And now you’re going to jail for it.”
“I want my lawyer,” said O’Shay.
“Good,” said H. “Book him.”
A police officer entered the interrogation room and took O’Shay by the arm.
“This isn’t over, Caine,” said O’Shay.
“Far from,” H replied. “Far from.”
