say this once. Last time we had a discussion like this, you also turned me down. And if you remember, I wound up saving your client over a million bucks and at the same time made a schmuck out of you… which isn’t too hard to do when you pull one of your arrogant acts. Now listen to me. If I can show that the class action has no merit whatsoever, it’ll save your client a multi-million dollar settlement, and my investigation will cost a lot less than those assholes in your class action department wasted in buying and tearing apart that brand new Suburban. Furthermore, I’ll give you my word that if I save your client’s ass again this time, I’ll make it look like it was all your idea. Now all you have to do is say yes or no. I’m going to do the investigation anyway, and whoever’s dime it’s on will get all the credit. Do we have a deal?”
After a few seconds of silence, I get what I expected – a grumbling acceptance.
With Indovine now paying for the investigation I might be able to kill a couple of birds with one stone, one of which being the answers behind the I.R.S. company that sells cars to Stuart. If nothing else, they certainly are generous. No other dealer I’m aware of would include a free dead body with the purchase of a car.
To keep things going smoothly, I advise Stuart to not say anything to his New ‘Joisy’ supplier, and to keep ordering vehicles as if nothing happened. Once Myra gets that body from Victor, I’ll make some deal with her to try and keep it out of the papers so that the New Jersey car company won’t know that an investigation is going on out here. I warn Stuart that on all future deliveries, he must make sure that each trunk is open and inspected before he accepts a vehicle. If another body turns up, we want it to be the car-carrier company who gets stuck with it before the car gets driven into Stuart’s garage.
While I’m on the phone giving Stuart all his instructions, he lets me know that Vinnie and Olive finally confessed to the fact that Olive didn’t know how to drive when she accepted the armored truck job from him. He was still feeling guilty about those guns in the glove box that caused their arrest, so he accepted her apology and enrolled her in a real driving school. Maybe now I’m off the hook for promising to let her drive my Hummer.
Also following my advice, Stuart doesn’t tell the dynamic duo that they were driving around with a dead body in the trunk. Olive had a bad experience with a cadaver being delivered to Victor’s place last year, and I don’t want to see her upset like that again. Stuart begs out of the conversation because another load of six cars is being delivered, and he intends to videotape the opening and inspection of each trunk.
Jack B. came up with some new info about Joe Morgan. His bank account shows some deposits that exceed his salary at the dealership. Too many coincidences are popping up here. I hope that no one else starts connecting the dots, because it looks like Joe Morgan may be heading for a fall.
It’s time that I found out more about the New Jersey company where Stuart gets his cars. Now that Indovine will be reimbursing our expenses, I send Jack B. to New Jersey. His assignment is to pretend like he owns a used car dealership in the San Fernando Valley and was referred to them by Stuart. I’ve already prepped Stuart to back up Jack’s cover story.
Jack calls from the east coast to let me know that the car company returned his phone call and he’ll be meeting with a guy named Billy tomorrow afternoon. I tell him to check with New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle Records Department to try and locate the previous owners of the cars that Stuart purchased – especially the one in which the body was found. If he can get to interview an owner or two, he’s to find out the details about their cars: when they were stolen, who the insurance companies involved are, when they were paid off, and which police precinct
