Chapter 590 Repayment
"
Carl locked the door after Eric left and returned to his office. He sipped his Scotch thoughtfully considering a new plan. It was time to call in a few favors.
"Remember me?" Carl asked when the phone was answered.
"Yes," the voice said after a long pause.
"Time to call in a few favors for the times I patched up Della."
"I remember. What do you want?"
"Just two things," Carl said before taking another sip of Scotch. "A guy named Eric had his car stolen and burned."
"It's an insurance scam,"
"No, it's legit and I want you to let it go through. All your paperwork needs to reflect that and if the insurance company calls, you let them know that the car was actually stolen."
"Fine."
"Look, Wayne, I don't like this attitude. You wouldn't want those pictures of your wife's injuries getting around. Might make you get fired and lose your police pension. That is the only reason she's still with you, isn't it?"
"News update; we're getting divorced. She's already left town."
"You still can't afford for those pictures to get out. You could still get fired."
"What the hell do you want?" Unser grumbled.
"I want to know where Tara Knowles is."
"She's in a hospital."
"No kidding, dumbass. I want to know the name of the hospital."
"Hale hasn't shared the information."
"You're his damned boss. Order him to tell you and then tell me. You have until tomorrow."
Carl ended the call. Tomorrow, he would have Knowles location and then he would hire someone to pay her a visit.
And it wouldn't be Eric.
