Billy wondered if he should text their possible destination to Sullivan. Twice now, he had texted details to Sullivan, and twice they had still evaded the police intercepts, just. Twice Billy had called wolf by making the excuse of checking for a second police car tail. The police were getting cleverer in tailing Costello, but because of the mole Costello was getting away, just. On balance Billy decided not to send the text and switched off the phone. The risk was just too great.
Something was wrong. He had felt it from the first when Sullivan contacted him. Although he was supposed to be watching the rear wing mirror for cops, Billy thought back to that night when Sullivan had first called him. He had thought; why had Sullivan wanted to recall him? Dignum would not have given a dime for Billy. Something was wrong, had to be wrong. Was Sullivan up to the job of running him? Was Sullivan just a jumped up cop? Was Sullivan really kosher? Yes, was Sullivan the real deal? Was Sullivan even real; Billy had always been faced with that problem which is why he had not responded to Sullivan;s recall. Now Billy was really worried.
Billy continued to watch the road, scanning it for cop cars. Then Costello's phone rang. It could be the mole. Billy listened, though it never revealed anything useful. Evidently the mole was having a bad time getting info to Costello, and an even harder time distracting the police intercepts. As on the previous two night jobs, there were several increasingly angry conversations over the next ten minutes as the cops played cat and mouse. Then Costello snarled again what would happen to Sullivan if they were caught!
