Scanning through the notes on the case Griff was stunned. Diablo had been with the mark, Georgio Sheraton for almost two years. The list of information, tips, files and additional intel from this job alone was amazing. Flicking through the data Griff found photo’s including one that looked like Georgio shooting someone in an alley, manifest lists from ships, transcriptions of calls and so much more. Diablo was an impressive agent and knew how to do his job that was obvious.
Then Griff went through the handler’s notes about the case - Dick Corbin. Corbin had noted early on in the file that Diablo had requested to go in solo, which Griff knew to be BS. He had also made numerous comments about Diablo’s ability to do his job because of his sexual orientation. Griff felt anger burn as the homophobic tendencies of the handler became more apparent with each slur he read.
He got to the last comment the handler made dated the week before. That was the morning Diablo had left Griff.
Diablo shows extreme willingness to stay with mark and claims that more evidence would be forthcoming if allowed to stay in for a further two weeks. Concerned he may have developed feelings for his target however any further evidence may be useful in implicating others in the area. Have held over warrants pending further contact. G has been advised.
What the fuck? Griff knew how badly Diablo wanted to get out the job he was in. Even though he didn’t know the man very well , hell, barely at all, he did know Diablo was incapable of lying to his mate. He said he had handed in his resignation from the FBI the morning after he had met Griff. He flicked back through the screens until he found Diablo’s personnel file. Sure enough Diablo’s resignation was on file dated the same morning as Corbin’s last comments. Scanning through the document Griff went to ‘Reasons For Leaving Employment.’ Got to love government forms. Griff smiled as he read what Diablo had written.
Personal. Have found permanent life partner and plan to marry.
Griff raised his eyebrows at that, but he couldn’t deny the warmth he felt at the simple words on the screen. He scrolled down further to the ‘Please Give Details.’
Agency work, especially undercover operations will place undue stress on said relationship and I am not prepared to do that to my partner. Have plans in place to start my own business. After seven years undercover I am not confident I can continue with this work and be the type of partner my intended deserves. I would rather spend the energy I put into my work, into making my partner happy. This is not negotiable .
Diablo had actually underlined the last two words three times . He had also been a lot more personal on that form than most people would have been but Griff put that down to the man being tired, stressed and being forced into a position he didn’t want to be in. Namely leaving Griff when he did. Boy that made Griff feel good.
Corbin was obviously lying in his notes. Diablo’s resignation and his conversation with Griff the night before made it clear that Diablo only went back after being told his mark might do a runner before the warrants were issued. Why was Corbin trying to keep him in the job longer than necessary?
Griff clicked through another couple of files. The warrants out for Georgio Sheraton and six other people had all been on file and ready for execution for over a month. According to the notes from the prosecuting attorney who signed off the warrants the case Diablo had built was air tight against all seven men and Diablo would not even be required to testify if any of the cases went to trial.
Feeling uneasy, Griff reached for his phone, tapping out a number he knew by heart. Seconds later he was connected. Without taking his eyes off the computer screen Griff simply said, “Phone me back from a secure line.” And then he hit “END.” After
