“You won’t get far with the cops after you.”
“I’ve got that on the line. First thing tomorrow I’m getting protection.”
“Protection? Where do you get that from?”
“English.” Duffy leant back in the chair and took a long pull at his glass. “I’m blowing the whole works to that guy, and then watch him cover me up.”
Gilroy said, “You’ve got something there.”
Duffy said, “Sure, I have. Once I get protection, I’m a big shot. I can handle Morgan with protection and an outfit like yours.”
Gilroy said, “There’s me, there’s Shep, and there’s Schultz.”
“Okay. Suppose we all get together, after I’ve seen English.”
Gilroy nodded and stood up. “The boys get in around about one o’clock. If you can make it, we’ll be here then.”
He wandered to the door. “It ain’t going to be easy,” he said.
