Twiggy, Lucy, and Flamingo take a Wednesday nap.
It is Wednesday Story Day again, and last week there was some help from the SWAT commander. He arranged an escort to the airport for Larry and Andrew. He, too, is perplexed by the fact that Spencer Tagget the ADA, could be involved in any misdeeds. So I think we are 🎶on the road again.🎶 (Thanks, Willy.) We ought to join our boys who are following the patrol car.
“That was nice of the lieutenant to arrange the escort and not hassle us about killing that thug.”
“I still won’t feel right until we land at Logan.”
“What’s bothering you?”
“Having a bunch of people continually throw lead our way is bothering me.”
“Yeah, it is annoying.”
“Annoying? It is downright hazardous to our health.”
“You still have your gun?”
“What do you think? I always have my gun. Why the question?”
“Not sure. This whole trip has been one series of unusual circumstances. The sad part is we don’t know any more than when we left Boston.”
“We know Dixon and Janet Rafferty spent time together here. We also know Cortez thinks Taggert is involved.”
“I guess we also know Taggert wants us dead.”
“We sure it’s Taggert?”
“Why do you say that?”
“Think all the way back to what started this case. Sandusky’s blown up heart.”
“Yeah so?”
“Who is at the center of everything?”
“Cortez.”
“Right. It would make sense for him to tell us Taggert was involved to throw us off the trail. The way I see it, we got to get Mrs. Rafferty and Dixon to come clean, and then if they finger Cortez, we go get him.”
“Or let Taggert go get him.”
“Whatever. Why is the patrol car slowing down? He has his turn signal on, but there’s no exit.”
“Looks like he is pulling off onto the shoulder.”
“Maybe we should just pass him up.”
“I’m going to pull in behind him. Get ready for anything.”
“Maybe I can beat them off with my briefcase.”
“Very funny. Here comes the sergeant. This should be interesting.”
“Hey, detective. We got a call from the lieutenant that we should go back to headquarters. Something has come up.”
“Did he say what it was?”
“He had a chance to talk to his boss, and they think you are in danger and might better put off your plans to leave.”
“Danger? Hell, that’s nothing new.”
“Looks like the State Patrol came upon some guys up ahead. They were on a bridge over the freeway, and they had some weapons. That’s all I know.”
“They capture the guys?”
“In a manner of speaking. Big shoot out. One is still alive. You want to follow me. We are going over the median. I’m not taking any chances.”
“Okay, Sarg. lead the way.”

So close! Dang.
Well, dang for them. The story just got more interesting for me. I mean, I’ve been to the airport.
It does seem like Cortez has ties to more people who are dead or trying to make others dead. Then again, it could be being made to look that way.
I think Lucy, Twiggy and flamingo have the right idea.
Take care, John. See you downtown.
