Killers (41 page)

I guess that after all my complaining about it, that new statute came in handy for me, because once Jack put the deal together, that was the last either of us heard about the second bug, or Donuts' thirty years on and after.

*   *   *

One final thing. In case you were wondering, after his spectacular return, Beezo Watson immediately vanished back into the mists of time. Every lead was a dead end, you might say, and his disappearance went back into the “cold case” file—get it? A month or two later, Jack Reilly's girlfriend wrote a Sunday story in the
Globe
about how the cops no longer considered themselves baffled by Beezo's fingerprints on the murder weapons, having concluded that it was all a cruel ruse by a cunning culprit.

“This was like something Whitey Bulger would have done,” one of the cops was quoted as saying.

Now that pissed me off. Being likened to Whitey Bulger, that's a low blow. What have I ever done to deserve being compared to a sick treacherous fuck like Whitey?
